Nitrocare SD17 NITRO Hydraulic Non-Magnetic Hospital Stretcher for 3.0T MRI Suites and Imaging Units
The Nitrocare SD17 NITRO Non-Magnetic MRI Hospital Stretcher is a specialized patient transport platform engineered specifically for high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suites, radiology departments, and outpatient imaging centers. Designed to meet the stringent safety requirements of magnetic field environments up to 3.0 Tesla, the SD17 eliminates projectile hazards and magnetic interference during critical patient transfer workflows. Serving as a secure bridge between holding areas and scanning rooms, this stretcher allows clinical teams to transport patients directly to the MRI bore without risking equipment damage or patient safety.
Constructed entirely from heavy-gauge, non-ferrous aluminum and high-grade synthetic polymers, the SD17 NITRO features a hands-free, dual-pedal hydraulic system for smooth height elevation and a gas-spring-assisted backrest adjustment. The unit is fitted with collapsible aluminum side guardrails that drop below the mattress line for zero-gap lateral transfers, four protective corner bumper wheels, and non-magnetic swivel castors controlled by a centralized braking pedal system. Coated in an antibacterial, corrosion-resistant powder finish and accompanied by a waterproof medical mattress, the SD17 NITRO provides maximum operational reliability and infection control for high-throughput diagnostic facilities.
Key Benefits:
- 3.0 Tesla Certified Safety: Built with 100% non-magnetic materials and non-ferrous aluminum to prevent magnetic attraction and artifact interference in 3.0T MRI suites.
- Hands-Free Hydraulic Adjustment: Dual side-mounted hydraulic foot pedals allow effortless, precise height elevation to facilitate ergonomic patient transfers.
- Zero-Gap Lateral Transfer: Collapsible aluminum safety guardrails fold down cleanly below the mattress level for effortless patient sliding from hospital beds.
- Gas-Spring Backrest Articulation: Smooth gas-spring controls enable quick, exact positioning of the backrest for optimal patient comfort and procedural access.
- Centralized Brake Control: Non-magnetic heavy-duty castor wheels feature a central locking pedal system for smooth transport and instant stationary stability.
- Infection Control Engineering: Antimicrobial electrostatic powder coating and a fluid-resistant medical mattress simplify sanitization between diagnostic procedures.
- Facility Wall Defense: Equipped with four non-marring corner protective bumper wheels to shield facility walls, doors, and MRI equipment from transit damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Is this MRI hospital stretcher compliant with MRI safety standards and non-magnetic requirements?
Yes, this MRI hospital stretcher is engineered specifically for MRI-safe environments using non-ferromagnetic construction to minimize magnetic attraction and imaging interference. Its frame and components are designed to support safe operation within controlled MRI zones, reducing projectile risk near high-field magnets. This makes it suitable for patient transport into MRI suites when used according to facility safety protocols. Procurement teams should confirm the designated MRI conditional or MRI safe rating based on their scanner strength and zoning policies. Documentation is typically available to support MRI safety audits and risk assessments. This compliance focus helps facilities meet internal imaging safety standards.
-
How does this MRI stretcher integrate into existing radiology workflows and multi-department transport use?
This stretcher is designed to integrate smoothly into radiology, emergency, and inpatient transport workflows without disrupting existing procedures. Its adjustable height and controlled maneuverability allow alignment with MRI tables and transfer aids, reducing manual handling strain. Locking castors and directional control support safe navigation through corridors and imaging suites. Because it can be used across departments, facilities can standardize transport equipment rather than maintaining MRI-only inventories. This scalability improves utilization rates and simplifies staff training. Workflow integration is especially valuable in high-volume diagnostic environments.
-
What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) and ROI for hospitals purchasing this stretcher at scale?
The stretcher delivers favorable total cost of ownership (TCO) by combining durable construction with minimal mechanical complexity. Non-powered or hydraulic systems typically reduce maintenance requirements and eliminate battery replacement costs. Long service life supports strong ROI by minimizing downtime and replacement frequency in high-use facilities. Standardized components and cleanable surfaces further reduce operational overhead. When deployed across multiple departments, utilization efficiency increases return on capital investment. Procurement teams should model ROI based on transport volume and service intervals.
-
What are the key technical specifications procurement teams should validate before purchase?
Key technical specifications include load capacity, height adjustment range, mattress type, and MRI compatibility classification. Facilities should confirm weight limits align with bariatric and standard patient populations. Castor size and locking mechanisms are critical for stability during transfers and imaging positioning. Side-rail design and patient restraints should meet internal safety policies. Materials must be non-magnetic and suitable for infection-control protocols. Reviewing detailed spec sheets ensures compatibility with MRI suite layouts and transfer equipment.
-
What warranty, service, and lifecycle support should facilities expect for long-term operation?
Facilities can expect a manufacturer-backed warranty covering structural components and key mechanical systems, subject to normal use conditions. Preventive maintenance schedules should be incorporated into biomedical engineering programs to ensure long-term reliability. Replacement parts availability is an important consideration for lifecycle planning. Many institutions include service support terms in procurement contracts to reduce response times. Proper documentation and training help maximize equipment lifespan. Lifecycle support planning minimizes operational disruption and unplanned capital expense.
