MR is different. And
MR-grade accessories

make a difference

Expression MR patient monitors reflect extensive research dedicated to developing products and accessories designed specifically for the unique requirements of the MR environment. Getting the best out of these monitors requires the support of the complementary, high-quality Expression MR accessories portfolio.

The powerful magnet makes the MR environment very different from other care areas. MR-grade electrodes, sensors, cuffs, and other accessories are designed, engineered, and manufactured to withstand this challenging environment.

Performance without compromise


It can be tempting to use the same types of accessories across clinical settings, for the sake of convenience and budgetary concerns. The fact is, however, that given the vulnerabilities of standard accessories in an MR environment, extra time and resources spent on MR-graded accessories are beneficial to the bottom line.

Small-scale savings and efficiency wins can become larger-scale losses when non-MR-grade equipment fails to perform—or, worse, becomes a liability.
