When anaesthesia is required in the MRI suite, there’s no room for compromise.
Both safety and performance must be guaranteed when it comes to patient care and quality outcomes. The Leon MRI from Löwenstein is purpose-built for this environment. Imaging Solutions is excited to announce the introduction of the only MRI-compatible anaesthetic workstation in Australasia that combines ICU-grade ventilation and an integrated gas bench with full compliance for use in MRI.
Advanced Ventilation for Every Patient
What makes the Leon MRI truly stand out is its ability to deliver ICU-grade ventilation that provides a truly comprehensive anaesthesia system in MRI. The workstation supports a full range of modes (including IMV, SIMV, PCV, PSV, and manual spontaneous ventilation) giving clinicians the flexibility to care for patients of all ages and acuity levels, from adults to paediatrics. Combined with a tidal volume guarantee (VTG) of 3 mL, the Leon MRI also supports neonatology with a dedicated neonate mode.
Designed for MRI Safety and Efficiency
The Leon MRI has been engineered with the unique challenges of MRI environments in mind. Its integrated magnetic field strength monitor ensures correct positioning, while bright LED status indicators remain visible from any angle. A central braking system provides stability, and compatibility with fibre-optic remote displays allows monitoring from outside the MRI room, supporting both safety and efficiency in critical settings.
Intuitive and User-Friendly Operation
Clinicians working under pressure need equipment that is simple and reliable. The Leon MRI’s 12-inch TFT touchscreen offers intuitive access to ventilation modes and alarms, reducing stress in time-sensitive situations. Even essential tasks like absorber changes can be carried out mid-operation, minimising disruption and keeping patient care on track.
Supporting Teams Across Healthcare
The Leon MRI is more than just equipment – it’s a solution that bridges imaging and critical care. MRI technologists can rely on safe, uninterrupted anaesthesia delivery during scans. Nurse unit managers and ICU teams benefit from ventilation standards that meet the demands of critical patients. Anaesthetists gain peace of mind knowing they have precision and German engineering on their side, even in the most high-acuity cases.
A Smarter Choice for Hospitals
Balancing patient safety, equipment reliability, and departmental efficiency is always a challenge. With the Leon MRI, healthcare leaders don’t have to compromise. It remains the only anaesthetic workstation in Australia that is both MRI-compatible with ICU-grade ventilation in the rebreathing circuit, helping hospitals lift standards of care across departments.
