Medical device developer Maquet Critical Care said that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for MR conditional use of its Servo-i Ventilator system in an MRI suite.
The device is intended for treatment and monitoring of all patients -- neonatal, pediatric, and adults -- who require mechanical ventilation, according to the Bridgewater, NJ-based company.
Maquet said that the Servo-i's MR environment option has been thoroughly tested with several MR systems, including 1-, 1.5-, and 3-tesla MR units.
