The NovaMed MRI Conditional laryngoscope set is used to facilitate and aid in tracheal intubation in a Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment, not to exceed a 3.0 Tesla static magnetic field.
The NovaMed MRI Conditional laryngoscope handle, battery, and blades are standard blades and handles that have been specially treated to be useable in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment. Testing has been performed according to ASTM F2052-02 in a 3.0 Tesla environment. There are many handle and blade configurations offered.
The NovaMed MRI Conditional Laryngoscope set was evaluated for safety in a Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment up to 3.0 Tesla. The primary study was to determine the device's magnetic attraction in this environment.
