The main drive in MRI safety right now is improving the consistency of defined terms and accessibility to essential information. Single terminology, CLEAR LABELING, and more information are central to MRI being conducted more safely around the world.
Commercially available accessories such as furniture, wheelchairs, instruments, O2 cylinders, etc. can be ferromagnetic or electrically conductive. Those are not designed, thus contraindicated to be used in the MR environment and several health injuries have been reported as a result of incorrect or unlabeled items. 3 symbols for device labeling recommended by the ASTM are in stock and available for online purchase. Don’t make a critical mistake by not having proper sticker labeling on ALL items in your MRI department.
It is important to prioritize safety training within the department and ensure that your department is properly stocked with MR Safe or MR Conditional room accessories. Z&Z Medical carries a wide array of MRI products for your daily use. Visit our website today or email info@zzmedical.com with any questions that you may have.
