MRI COMPATIBLE PASSIVE FIXED AURICULAR ELECTRODE 1000022071

This tender concerns the acquisition of a passive auricular electrode designed for compatibility with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures. The electrode is described as 'fixed' and 'passive', indicating it does not require an external power source and is intended for a specific placement. The 'MRI COMP' designation is critical, ensuring the electrode will not cause artifacts or pose safety risks within the strong magnetic fields of an MRI scanner. Auricular electrodes are typically used for electrophysiological measurements, such as electrocochleography (ECoG) or other auditory evoked potential tests, often performed in conjunction with or prior to imaging. This procurement is likely for a hospital's radiology, audiology, or neurology department that utilizes MRI technology. Suppliers must provide electrodes that meet rigorous safety and performance standards for MRI environments, including non-ferromagnetic materials and precise electrical characteristics. The tender evaluation will focus on MRI compatibility, electrode performance, sterility, material safety, quantity, and cost-effectiveness to ensure the availability of specialized equipment for diagnostic procedures.
