MR Conditional What does this mean?
MR Safe

MR Safe – an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments. Using the terminology, “MR Safe” items are non-conducting, non-metallic, and non-magnetic items such as a plastic Petri dish. An item may be determined to be MR Safe by providing a scientifically based rationale rather than test data.

MR Conditional

MR Conditional – an item that has been demonstrated to pose no known hazards in a specified MR environment with specified conditions of use. “Field” conditions that define the MR environment include static magnetic field strength, spatial gradient magnetic field, dB/dt (time rate of change of the magnetic field), radio frequency (RF) fields, and specific absorption rate (SAR). Additional conditions, including specific configurations of the item (e.g., the routing of leads used for a neurostimulation system), may be required.

MR Unsafe

MR Unsafe – An item that is known to pose hazards in all MRI environments. MR Unsafe items include magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes a 1/4" titanium ratchet useful in MRI environments?

A 1/4" titanium ratchet gives you precise control for small fasteners often found on MRI coils, brackets, covers, and accessory mounts. Because it’s fully non-magnetic, it stays stable in high-field zones and can be used right up to the equipment without any magnetic pull.

2. Is this ratchet compatible with standard 1/4" MRI-safe sockets?

Yes. It works with any 1/4" non-magnetic socket, so it’s easy to integrate into existing MRI-safe toolkits. The 1/4" size is especially helpful when you’re working around delicate components where you don’t want to over-torque hardware.

3. How durable is a titanium ratchet for daily hospital maintenance?

Titanium holds up extremely well under frequent use—it won’t corrode, bind, or show wear from regular cleaning and disinfecting. The ratchet action stays smooth, which helps when you’re doing repeated fine adjustments or working in tight spaces around scanners.

4. When would a 1/4" ratchet be better than a 3/8" or 1/2" drive in the MRI suite?

A 1/4" drive is the right choice when you’re dealing with smaller screws and bolts, especially on accessories or lightweight assemblies. It gives you better finesse and reduces the risk of stripping hardware, which is a common concern on MRI coil housings and patient-handling components.

5. Can this titanium ratchet be used outside the MRI room as a general tool?

Absolutely. It performs like any high-quality 1/4" ratchet but with the added advantage of being non-magnetic. Many facilities keep it in their MRI-dedicated toolkit to prevent accidental mixing with ferrous tools, but it’s versatile enough for broader maintenance tasks.
