Braun SpaceStation MRI Cleared

FDA has cleared a B. Braun Medical 510(k) for the SpaceStation MRI to allow Space infusion pumps to continuously deliver medications to patients within magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suites. The device is designed to shield Space infusion pumps against 1.5-T and 3.0-T magnetic fields to protect the MRI scanner and provide interference-free images. Long infusion lines are no longer needed and hospital-wide Space infusion pumps are now able to safely transition patients into an imaging suite without switching to an alternative pump, the company says.  

The Spacestation holds up to four Space pumps, including the Infusomat Space Large Volume Pump, Perfusor Space Syringe Pump, and the Perfusor PCA Syringe Pump. It features an Integrated TeslaSpy to continuously monitor magnetic field strength to provide proper placement and device positioning, the company says.
