Here are several visual examples of the Medrad Veris 8600 MR Monitor for your reference—from full setups on mobile carts to remote display units.

Overview & Key Specifications

The Medrad Veris 8600 is a purpose-built MR-compatible vital signs monitor designed for use within high magnetic field environments. Here's what defines the system:

MRI Compatibility: Suitable for use near 0.5T, 1.0T, 1.5T, and even 3.0T systems.

Display: Features a 10.4" TFT color display with a resolution of 640×480 pixels.

Battery Power: Internal rechargeable battery provides approximately 10 hours of continuous operation.

Weight & Size:

Main monitor: ~54.4 kg (about 120 lbs), with overall dimensions around 50.5 × 58.4 × 188.7 cm.

Another documented measurement for just the monitor enclosure: 26.7 × 36.8 × 36.8 cm (monitor top), and full system roughly 61 × 50.8 × 152.4 cm (~131 lb).

Measured Parameters & Features

This monitor supports a wide range of physiological monitoring modes:

Parameters:

ECG (3-lead or 5-lead; supports auto-lead switching)

SpO₂ (with fiber-optic probes available)

NIBP (various cuff sizes for adult, pediatric, neonate patients)

Temperature (fiber-optic skin probes)

CO₂ (capnography) and various anesthetic gases (halogenated agents, nitrous oxide) depending on configuration

 

Technology & Accessories:

Fiber-optic tech used in ECG and SpO₂ connectors—key for MR safety.

Automatically displays up to six waveforms on-screen.

Supports pediatric and neonate accessories like cuffs and ECG leads.

Includes remote display and possibly integrated thermal printer options for the MRI control room.

Connectivity & Compliance:

Outputs include RS-232, VGA, and analog ports.

Meets key safety standards: IEC 60601-1, UL 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2.

Operational Features

ECG Signal Handling: Offers MR-specific filter settings (MR1–MR7) to reduce noise from RF, gradient switching, and static fields. Users can tweak these filters in real time to preserve clear ECG signals.

 

IBP Support: Invasive blood pressure (IBP) channels configurable to monitor pressures like ART, PA, CVP, LV, ICP, etc., with high resolution (1 mmHg).

Other Technical Specs:

Environmental Operating Range: 15–35 °C and up to 90% humidity (non-condensing).

Alarm system includes adjustable high/low thresholds, volume control, and silence options with adult/pediatric/neonate presets.
