The ASTM F2503 STANDARD HAS BEEN UPDATED!
The ASTM F2503 STANDARD HAS BEEN UPDATED! The ASTM F2503 standard, which defines the marking of medical devices for safety in the MR environment, has officially been updated today, moving from ASTM F2503-23e1 to F2503-26. Our team is currently assessing the impact that the update of this standard may have on any labeling that has […]
Numerical modeling: reliability, experience and dedicated tools
(article updated on May, 5th 2026) What is the role of numerical simulation for medical device heating in MRI environments? Introduction In an MRI environment, radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields can induce significant heating of implanted medical devices, posing a risk to patients. This heating is often localized, dependent on numerous parameters (type of implant, configuration, […]

ASTM F2182 – RF Test Method for MRI Implants: Principle, Limitations, and Clinical Relevance
The risk associated with radiofrequency (RF)-induced heating is often the most critical factor when assessing the safety of medical devices in MRI. The ASTM F2182 standard is the reference experimental method for measuring these temperature increases on passive implantable devices (orthopedic prostheses, stents, plates, etc.). Principle of the ASTM F2182 method The method can be […]
The ASTM F2213 standard has been updated!
The ASTM F2213 standard, which relates to the evaluation of torque induced by the MRI magnetic field on medical devices, has officially been updated today, moving from ASTM F2213-17 to F2213-25. This revision does not change the five torque assessment methods, but it introduces corrections and a few clarifications to the text. Are you concerned […]
ASTM F2052 standard : All you need to know
Introduction to ASTM F2052 Standard: Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on Medical Devices in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Environment. When approaching the MRI system, any device containing ferromagnetic materials will be subjected to a displacement force induced by the static magnetic field of the MRI. This field remains active even when no scan […]
