In the fast-paced world of medical diagnostics, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) stands out for its ability to provide detailed images of the inside of the human body without ionizing radiation. However, the powerful magnetic fields used in MRI scanners pose unique challenges, especially concerning the safety of medical equipment used near or within the MRI suite. Among such equipment, pressure infusion bags are critical for administering fluids rapidly and accurately during various medical procedures. That's where EKLA's MRI Safe Pressure Infusion Bags come into play, setting a new standard for safety and efficiency.


MRI Safety Concerns

Traditional pressure infusion bags are not designed for the MRI environment and can pose significant risks due to the presence of ferrous materials. These materials can become projectiles when exposed to MRI’s strong magnetic fields, leading to potential injuries or even death. Additionally, the accuracy of diagnostic imaging can be compromised if metal components interfere with the magnetic fields.


EKLA’s Innovative Solution

Understanding these challenges, EKLA has developed an MRI Safe Pressure Infusion Bag designed specifically to address and mitigate the risks associated with using standard infusion bags in MRI settings. A standout feature of EKLA’s infusion bag is the non-ferrous spring used in the gauge. This innovation ensures that the bag is entirely MRI compatible, eliminating the risk of it becoming a projectile or interfering with the magnetic imaging.


Advantages of EKLA’s MRI Safe Pressure Infusion Bags

  • Safety - The use of a non-ferrous spring means there is no risk of the bag turning into a projectile, which is a critical safety enhancement in the high-magnet environment of an MRI room.

  • Accuracy - EKLA’s design ensures that the functioning of the MRI machine remains uncompromised, leading to more accurate imaging results, which are crucial for correct diagnosis and treatment planning.

  • Versatility -These bags are designed to be used safely across various MRI scenarios, whether it is for administering contrast agents, medications, or hydration fluids, thereby supporting a wide range of MRI examinations.

  • Reliability - The durable design guarantees that healthcare providers can rely on the functionality of these bags without the need for frequent replacements or repairs.



MRI procedures are indispensable in modern medicine, and the safety of both patients and healthcare workers during these procedures cannot be compromised. EKLA’s MRI Safe Pressure Infusion Bags offer an effective solution that meets the highest standards of safety and operational excellence. By integrating innovations like the non-ferrous spring in the gauge, EKLA not only ensures safety but also enhances the quality of care provided to patients. This commitment to innovation and safety is what sets EKLA apart in the medical device market.
