Technical Details

Rigorous Testing of the MRI-Safe ConRad® Thermal Blanket Assures Safety and Image Clarity

MRI Safe

Each of the three components of the MRI Safe - ConRad Thermal Blankets, the fluid impermeable outer shell, the inner heat insulative layer and the heat trapping layer have undergone rigorous specifications testing. The MRI Safe - ConRad Thermal Blanket as a whole has undergone rigorous ASTM testing for thermal resistance (ASTM D 1518). It has been proven to have the thermal resistance equivalent to that of an extreme cold weather polar suit"

No MRI Signal Loss

MRI signal testing performed in four (4) different blanket configurations without signal loss.

Clinically Tested to Maintain Body Temperature

The MRI-Safe ConRad Thermal Blanket has been tested extensively under clinical conditions at a busy Veterinary MRI center and was shown to maintain normothermia.

 

ConRad Thermal Blanket MRI Signal Testing:

The MRI-Safe ConRad Blanket was subjected to MRI signal testing in a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner by an MRI technologist with the following credentials: ARRT, RT, R, MR. There was no noted MRI signal loss with the ConRad Thermal Blanket in any position with relation to the phantom and the MRI coil.

Sequence 1 – No Blanket

Phantom and coil only, the Blanket is not within the MRI.

Sequence 2 – Blanket Over

The Blanket is over the top of the phantom and coil.

Sequence 3 – Blanket Outside

The Blanket wrapped completely around the phantom and the coil.

Sequence 4 – Blanket inside

Blanket wrapped around the phantom inside of the coil.

 

Each of the MRI images below were obtained using the MRI-Safe ConRad Thermal Blanket during the procedure with no signal loss.

Clinical testing on warming effectiveness:

Two veterinary MRI centers evaluated the MRI Safe ConRad® Thermal Blankets and each provided data on 10 cases which was averaged according to:

  1. MRI scan time
  2. Patient temperature upon entering the MRI
  3. Patient temperature upon exiting the MRI
MRI-Centers Scan Time Temp In Temp Out
CENTER A 80.6 min 38.23 °C 38.12 °C
CENTER B 78.1 min 37.68 °C 37.61 °C

Instructions


 

Step 1

Place the patient on a solid surface warming pad and cover with a fleece blanket and the MRI Safe - ConRad Thermal Blanket during induction of anesthesia.


Step 2

Keep the patient on the warming pad and covered with the MRI ConRad Thermal Blanket as much as possible while applying patient monitors.


Step 3

Keep the patient covered with a fleece blanket and the MRI Safe ConRad Thermal Blanket while moving the patient to the MRI scanner.


Step 4

Once at the MRI scanner, circumferentially wrap the patient with a regular fleece blanket and the MRI Safe ConRad Thermal Blanket so that it covers the entire body during the scan.


Step 5

Make certain that an insulating layer, such as a regular blanket or another MRI ConRad Thermal Blanket, is underneath and between the patient and the cold underlying MRI surface.


Step 6

The MRI ConRad Thermal Blanket may be cleaned with soap and water or a germicidal solution.


FAQ

How do ConRad Thermal Blankets to maintain a patient’s body temperature?

The MRI Safe - ConRad Thermal Blanket’s internal components provide a barrier to the 3 mechanisms of heat loss; Convection, Conduction and Radiation. The internal layers have heat trapping and heat insulative properties which prevent patient heat loss. It has the thermal resistance of an Extreme Cold Weather Polar Suit. (See Technical Details for Vartest Results)

Do the ConRad Thermal Blankets have electrical components?

No. That is what makes them so easy to use.

Are the ConRad Thermal Blankets durable?

Yes. They are made of the same material that is used for US Navy gunnery target balloons.

How do I clean the ConRad Thermal Blankets?

They can be cleaned with soap and water or the germicidal spray that use for your OR table.

How do I use the MRI ConRad Thermal Blankets?

The patient is circumferentially wrapped with the MRI Safe - ConRad Thermal Blanket as described in the Instructions and placed in the MRI scanner.
