MRI Safe Fixed Portering Chair (7 Tesla) MR4501

Additional information

MR Conditional Fixed Portering Chair – MR4501

The MR4501 Fixed Portering Chair is a specialised patient transport chair designed for safe use within MRI environments. Manufactured by Wardray Premise, the chair is MR Conditional for use up to and including 7 Tesla, allowing it to be safely used in both clinical MRI suites and high-field research environments when operated under the defined conditions. Constructed using non-ferromagnetic materials, including an aluminium frame and 316 stainless steel armrests, the chair minimises magnetic interference and supports safe patient movement near MRI scanners.

The robust yet lightweight aluminium construction allows clinical staff to manoeuvre the chair easily through hospital corridors and radiology departments. The seat and backrest are formed from high-density foam with a wipe-clean, flame-retardant covering and welded seams to support infection control procedures in healthcare environments. Adjustable armrests can be lowered below seat level to assist patient transfer from beds, stretchers or imaging tables, while retractable footrests with anti-slip covering help ensure patient comfort during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does MR Conditional up to 7 Tesla mean?
MR Conditional means the chair has been tested and verified for safe use within MRI environments under specific conditions. The MR4501 portering chair is certified for magnetic fields up to 7 Tesla, allowing it to be used in both standard clinical MRI scanners and high-field research systems when used according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Can the chair be used inside the MRI scanner room?
Yes. The MR4501 is designed specifically for MRI environments and is constructed using non-ferromagnetic materials such as aluminium and 316 stainless steel, allowing it to be safely used within MRI suites for patient transport.

What is the main purpose of an MR Conditional portering chair?
MR Conditional portering chairs are used to safely transport patients into and out of MRI scanner rooms without introducing ferromagnetic equipment that could create safety risks or interfere with imaging equipment.
