Here’s an image
of the Tesla Guard MRI-compatible patient monitor, a specialized monitoring
system designed for safe functionality within MRI environments.
What is the
Tesla Guard?
The Tesla Guard
is developed by MIPM (Mammendorfer Institut für Physik und Medizin). Key
highlights include:
Wireless data
transfer capability to the MRI control room, helping to reduce cable clutter
and minimize interference.
Optional
advanced monitoring modules, including:
Anesthetic gases
and respiration (parameters like etCO₂, iCO₂, respiratory rate, O₂, N₂O,
halogenated agents such as HAL, ISO, ENF, SEV, DES—with automatic agent
detection)
Up to 2 invasive
blood pressure (IBP) channels for comprehensive patient monitoring
Certifications
including ISO 9001 and EN 13485 compliance, ensuring medical device quality
standards.
While the
catalog mentions technical features such as display, magnet compatibility,
dimensions, and weight, these specifics are not disclosed in the available
summary.
There’s an
additional note from Emstec highlighting that the monitor—and all
accessories—are MRI-compatible, and the system includes both an integrated
battery and charging unit. Accessories must undergo rigorous testing.

Summary &
Recommendations
The Tesla Guard
is a capable MRI-compatible monitor featuring wireless communication,
anesthesia modules, and dual IBP support—though detailed technical specs remain
unavailable from the sources.
If you need
configurability, modern interface, and modular additions, Tesla M3 may be a
more versatile and feature-rich alternative.
For simpler
monitoring needs focused on oxygen saturation and blood pressure, the Tesla DUO
offers portability and ease of use in a compact package.
