MRI Zone IV cleaning Indiana
Owned and run by Adhir Patel, RT(R)(MR), a registered MRI technologist who knows Zone IV firsthand.
Standard cleaning equipment is not allowed in the MRI magnet room. We clean it with MR-safe tools, on a schedule that works for your facility, and document every visit.
01Credential
For an MRI technologist, screening everything before it goes into Zone IV is an everyday habit. It is how every Bore & Bristle visit is done.
02The problem
An MRI scanner’s magnetic field stays on around the clock, even when the room is empty. Anything ferromagnetic that gets too close can be pulled in with dangerous force.
That is why standard cleaning carts, mop buckets, and vacuums are not allowed in Zone IV, the magnet room. Environmental services teams are trained to stop at that line, and they should.
Quick wipe-downs between patients still happen. But the deep clean needs equipment that is safe in the room: inside the bore, the coils and pads, the patient table, the vent covers, drawers and handles, and the entire magnet housing. Without it, those surfaces often go without one.
03Why book us
A deep clean of the magnet room is easy to put off. Here is what each visit gives you.
Every visit ends with a signed service report: the checklist, the products used, and what we found.
Including after hours, so the patient schedule stays the same.
Torn pads and damaged covers are noted on the report, so you can decide what to repair or replace.
Inside the bore, the entire magnet, the coils and pads: the slow, detailed work that does not fit between patients.
Regular, careful cleaning keeps your scanner looking the way equipment this valuable should.
04Services
Every job is quoted after a walkthrough, based on your rooms and your schedule.
01 Zone IV
The full Zone IV clean, done with MR Safe and MR Conditional tools.
02 One-time / Monthly / Quarterly

The gantry exterior, the patient table, and the room’s surfaces, scheduled around your scanning.
05How we work / MR safety
Zone IV has strict rules for good reason. Our tools and methods are built around them.
Every tool we bring into Zone IV is MR Safe, or MR Conditional and used within its conditions. Nothing ferromagnetic goes in.
Motors contain magnets, so the motor never comes in. Our MR-safe vacuum runs on a long non-metallic hose, and the canister stays outside Zone IV.
We choose disinfectants to match the scanner manufacturer’s cleaning guidance for your equipment.
Visits are booked in advance for whenever works best for you, including evenings and weekends, so patient schedules stay as they are.

09FAQ
A visit to see your rooms before we quote. We look at the magnet room (and your CT room, if you want it included) and talk through your scanning schedule. Then we send you a written quote.
Every job is quoted after a walkthrough. The price depends on how many rooms you have, their size and equipment, and whether you want a one-time deep clean or a recurring schedule. You get the quote in writing before any work is scheduled.

No. The magnet stays at field the whole time. Everything we bring into Zone IV is MR Safe or MR Conditional and used within its conditions, so there is no reason to ramp down.
Whenever works best for your facility. Visits are scheduled in advance around your scanning, and evenings and weekends are available.
It depends on the room: its size, the equipment in it, and how many coils and positioning aids there are. We will give you a time estimate after the walkthrough.
Disinfectants chosen to match the scanner manufacturer’s cleaning guidance, applied with MR Safe and MR Conditional tools. Every product and tool we use is listed on your visit report.
Yes. General liability insurance. Certificate of insurance on request.
Yes. A certificate of insurance is available on request, and we will work through your facility’s vendor credentialing process before the first visit.
It is unlikely: we use only MR Safe and MR Conditional tools and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidance. If anything is damaged during a visit, we tell you right away, note it on the signed service report, and work with you on next steps.
