The new reality in helium-free MR operations

Philips BlueSeal magnet is the industry's first and only 1.5T fully sealed magnet, relieving you from helium-related complications and unpredictability. BlueSeal magnet requires only 0.5% of helium compared to a conventional Philips MR system.

BlueSeal Magnet

The world's first helium-free MR mobile solution

Delivering patient centric MRI services where and when needed in a more sustainable way with helium-free operations.

The world's first helium-free MR mobile solution

At Philips, we are committed to making radiology more sustainable. In MR, we have been leading in helium-free operations since 2018. Now we are taking this on the road with the introduction of our BlueSeal Mobile 1.5T* systems portfolio. Delivering patient centric MRI services where and when needed in a more sustainable way with helium-free operations.

Forget about helium

Philips BlueSeal uses a new, highly efficient micro-cooling technology which requires just 7 liters of liquid helium for cooling, instead of the 1,500 liters that conventional magnets use. This tiny amount of liquid helium is placed in the magnet and fully sealed during manufacturing, enclosing the precious gas for the rest of its life. No liquid helium can escape.1 This reduces potential long interruptions to MR services due to helium issues and eliminates helium refill costs during the magnet’s lifetime

Easy sitting, lower costs

On a classic magnet, long vent pipes must be installed to meet safety requirements and direct helium to an outside vent in case of a magnet quench. Because no liquid helium can escape1, the Philips BlueSeal magnet does not need a vent pipe, significantly reducing construction costs of new installations. With a minimum siting requirement of 3,700 kg, the BlueSeal system is around 900 kg lighter than its predecessor.2 This can potentially facilitate easier siting, reduce floor adaptations and further lower construction costs.
