Creative Living Medical | MRI Safety
Safety is at the Core of What We Do
At Creative Living Medical, safety isn’t just a requirement, it’s our foundation. Every product we manufacture, from our specialized non-magnetic equipment to our durable pill crushers, undergoes rigorous inspection and testing to ensure compliance with the highest safety standards in the industry.
All products entering our warehouse are inspected upon arrival and verified again before shipment. Even items shipped directly from manufacturers are spot-checked and re-tested for additional safety assurance. We work continuously with our partners and suppliers to ensure proper designation, accuracy, and reliability of all our equipment.
For more information on the official ASTM Standard, visit www.ASTM.org and search for F2503-05. Additional resources on MR safety can be found at www.MRISafety.com.
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has released the Standard Practice for Marking Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance Environment. This system was created to eliminate confusion surrounding outdated terminology and to provide clear, reliable guidance on MR safety.
Understanding MR Designations
MR Safe – An item that poses no known hazards in any MR environment.
MR Conditional – An item that poses no known hazards in a specific MR environment, provided specific conditions of use are met (such as field strength, RF levels, and configurations).
MR Unsafe – An item known to present hazards in all MR environments.
CE Certified – Products that meet European health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.
Items without an MR designation have been tested under previous guidelines and are currently being re-evaluated under the updated ASTM Standards. Our catalog is updated regularly to reflect the latest safety information.
