MRI implant check

Search implantable devices in the FDA Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) by brand, company, model or device type, or enter the device identifier (DI) or UDI from the implant card. Each record shows the MRI safety status the manufacturer reported.

What the statuses mean

  • MR Safe: poses no known hazards in all MR environments.
  • MR Conditional: safe only under the specific conditions in the device labeling (field strength, spatial gradient, SAR, scan region and others). Get the manufacturer's MRI instructions for the exact model.
  • MR Unsafe: poses unacceptable risks in all MR environments.
  • Labeling does not contain MRI safety information: the manufacturer reported no MRI status. Do not treat this as safe.

Terms as defined by ASTM F2503 and used in FDA guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment". Status is as reported by the labeler to GUDID; confirm the exact model from the implant card or operative record.
