What is the webinar about?

This webinar will cover BSI’s position regarding Magnetic Resonance (MR) Safety of Non-active Orthopaedic Implants. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) poses risks—displacement, torque, heating, and image artifacts—for orthopaedic implants, so MR safety evaluation and clear labelling in product documentation are essential. This webinar focuses on non-active orthopaedic implants by outlining EU MDR and UKCA regulatory requirements, MR safety testing methods, applicable standards, MR safety labelling, recent state-of-the-art developments, and frequent questions in conformity assessments.

Who should attend?

Manufacturers of non-active implantable medical devices especially Orthopaedic devices.

What will participants gain?

Participants will gain a clear understanding of MRI safety hazards on non-active Orthopaedic Implants (displacement force, torque, heating, and artifacts) and the EU MDR and UK requirements related to MR safety evaluation and labelling. They will also learn to apply relevant ASTM/ISO standards, and a risk-based approach to MR safety evaluation and labelling, recent state-of-the-art developments, and common issues found in conformity assessments of MR safety for orthopaedic implants.
