@the_sarahe: Check out this video too: @Sarah - MRI Safety & Scanning 🚨 MR CONDITIONAL does NOT mean MR SAFE! 🚨 Just because a piece of equipment is labeled MR Conditional does NOT mean it can be placed anywhere inside the MRI scan room! Equipment such as ventilators, anesthesia machines, patient monitors, wheelchairs, and other MR Conditional devices have specific conditions that MUST be followed to ensure safe use in the MRI environment. 🧲 One of the most important conditions is often a static magnetic field strength limitation (gauss restriction). For example, a device may only be permitted in areas where the magnetic field does not exceed a specified gauss level. This means the equipment must remain OUTSIDE its restricted gauss line! ⚠️ Remember: Not all MR Conditional equipment has the same restrictions! Always verify the manufacturer’s specific conditions for EACH device, including any limitations related to field strength, spatial gradient, positioning, or other requirements. 🔗 Tethering MR Conditional equipment can be an excellent additional safety measure! When properly implemented, physical restraints can help prevent equipment from being moved beyond its permitted location and into areas of higher magnetic field strength. However, tethering does NOT replace knowing and following the manufacturer’s conditions! 💡 The takeaway: MR Conditional means SAFE ONLY UNDER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS. Understanding those conditions, identifying the appropriate gauss boundaries, and implementing safeguards are essential parts of MRI safety! Just because it belongs in Zone IV doesn’t mean it can go EVERYWHERE in Zone IV! 🧲 #mri #ventilator #anesthesia #metal #safety
