Comprehensive Coverage for 4K & 10K Magnet Systems
RSTI delivers tiered MRI cryogenic service programs designed to reduce operational risk, improve uptime reliability, and simplify long-term budgeting for healthcare organizations. Our programs support both 4K (low boil-off) and 10K (high boil-off) MRI magnet systems and provide scalable coverage options to align with your organization’s clinical demands and financial strategy.
Each tier is built to provide increasing levels of protection — from proactive monitoring to full cryogenic risk transfer — while maintaining consistency across system types and fleet sizes.
Helium Consumption Profile (Planning Framework)
RSTI uses standardized planning assumptions to support accurate program alignment and budgeting:
4K Magnet Systems
4K systems are low boil-off designs with relatively modest annual helium consumption. Actual usage varies based on OEM design, magnet age, operating conditions, and service events.
10K Magnet Systems
10K systems are higher boil-off designs with substantially greater annual helium requirements, making cost predictability and risk management especially critical.
Actual helium consumption may vary depending on system configuration, environmental factors, and historical service patterns.
Cryogenic Service Tier Options
Tier 1
Monitoring & Managed Helium
Tier 1 provides essential visibility and proactive system awareness while allowing customers to retain ownership of cryogenic risk.
Included Services
- Continuous RDU remote monitoring
- Proactive alerts and trend analysis
- Access to helium under preferred program pricing
- Customer maintains responsibility for cryogenic components and helium utilization
Best suited for:
Organizations seeking enhanced system awareness and supply cost advantages without transferring cryogenic ownership.
Tier 2
Core Cryogenic Protection
Tier 2 expands coverage to include key cryogenic components, reducing exposure to unplanned repair events and stabilizing operating costs.
Included Services
- All Tier 1 services
- Coverage for major cryogenic components, including coldheads, adsorbers, compressors, and flex lines
- Parts and labor included for covered components
- Helium supplied under enhanced program terms
Best suited for:
Facilities looking to balance cost predictability with meaningful protection against common cryogenic failures.
Tier 3
Full Cryogenic Risk Transfer
Tier 3 delivers complete cryogenic protection with maximum budget certainty by transferring all cryogenic and helium risk to RSTI.
Included Services
- Comprehensive cryogenic parts and labor coverage
- Helium fully included within the program (annual limits apply)
- De-icing services included
- No variable helium cost exposure
- Full lifecycle cryogenic risk management
Best suited for:
Organizations prioritizing uptime assurance, financial stability, and simplified operational management.
Program Benefits
- 24/7 RDU remote monitoring included across all tiers
- Programs designed to support multi-year service agreements and stable lifecycle budgeting
- Tier 3 eliminates helium market volatility and unexpected consumption costs
- Multi-system fleets qualify for commercial flexibility and consolidated billing
- Scalable programs suitable for single-site facilities and large enterprise networks
Additional Planning Considerations
- 4K systems generally experience limited annual helium loss, with most variability tied to service events rather than baseline boil-off
- Final program structure is customized based on magnet type, system age, operating environment, and fleet composition
- RSTI programs emphasize long-term operational reliability over short-term transactional service models
