Draeger MRI Receives FDA Clearance

The FDA granted clearance to Draeger Medical for its Fabius MRI anesthesia machine.

The size of an MRI system often requires the anesthesia provider to be outside the room or some distance away from the device during an examination. To accommodate this, additional optical alarm displays at the top of the system provide visual indication for all alarm conditions, Draeger said.

The device can be used with 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems. An integrated Teslameter provides an acoustic alarm if the MRI is positioned within a field strength greater than 40mTesla.
