Tesla Guard MRI-compatible patient monitor


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.

Tesla M3

Modular and modern design with wireless ECG, SpO₂, and NIBP in standard setup. Expandable with options such as:

Multigas module (O₂, CO₂, N₂O, anesthetic gas auto-detection, respiratory rate)

Up to 2 IBP channels, 2 temperature channels (surface or intracorporeal)

Capnography, anesthetic agents, and remote control room display

Gating interface for Siemens scanners

Display: 15" touchscreen, 6 waveforms + 4 numeric parameters

Size & Weight: 36 kg, 60 × 62 × 140 cm

Battery: ~6.5 hours, with integrated PSU

Tesla DUO

Compact solution focused solely on SpO₂ and NIBP, certified for up to 3T MRI environments

Display: 7" touchscreen, with wireless SpO₂ sensor, rechargeable battery (6.5 hours), USB interface, and IR remote option

Ideal for targeted monitoring when full modular capabilities are not required.

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.
