Sherwood Valve, LLC has developed a new medical cylinder valve for use in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environments, specifically for high capacity aluminium cylinders.
The medical valve design uses many features from its current flagship Global Valve (GV) product line adapted to MRI environments. Sherwood’s new GV-MRI Series Valves are marked with the standard ‘MR-Conditional’ symbol to identify that it is certified MRI-Safe.
The GV-MRI valve meets the ASTM F2213 requirement for a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance (MR) environment. The GV-MRI special construction utilises materials that reduce the magnetic attraction of valve when installed on an aluminium cylinder. This provides peace of mind for hospital personnel and patients who, as a result, are able to maintain their accessibility to medical gases where access to medical oxygen is limited.
