Siemens Healthcare has confirmed that the Prima 451 MRI Anaesthetic Machine is compatible with their 7 Tesla MRI Systems. This confirmation means clinicians can be confident that using the Prima 451 MRI up to the 1000 gauss line* will not impair the functionality of the MAGNETOM Terra or MAGNETOM Terra.X 7 Tesla MRI systems from Siemens Healthcare. This approval is in addition to those the Prima 451 MRI has already received for 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla MRI systems from Siemens Healthcare, Philips Medical Systems and GE Healthcare.

This approval covers the UKCA, CE-marked and FDA-approved Penlon Prima 451 MRI Anaesthetic Machine, AV-S MRI Ventilator, Sigma Delta MRI Vaporizer, SC760 MRI Suction Controller and AGSS MRI Receiver.

Testing took place at the Siemens Healthcare facility in Erlangen, Germany, and found that the MRI Systems performed as intended without limitations of functionality or applications of the MRI systems, options and accessories when used with the Prima 451 MRI anaesthetic machine.

Paul Merrick, Penlon’s Head of Engineering, said:

7 Tesla MRI is an essential tool for clinicians pushing the boundaries of diagnostic imaging, and 7 Tesla scanners add additional demands to an already challenging environment. This approval from Siemens is a testament to the quality of our design and manufacturing facilities in the UK that can produce an anaesthetic machine capable of performing at the highest level.

The Prima 451 MRI anaesthetic machine, as well as other products from Penlon, will be exhibited at Euroanaesthesia (Lisbon, Portugal), EBME Expo (Coventry, UK), Hospitalar (São Paulo, Brazil) and Medica (Düsseldorf, Germany) and forthcoming events during 2025.

*Refer to the compatibility statements from Siemens Healthcare, Philips, and GE Healthcare that are available on the Penlon website.
