Philips recalls SmartPath to dStream 3.0T with MR Elastography (MRE) model 782145 due to potential stiffness value errors from image reconstruction settings. Affected units may display incorrect voxel sizes in scans.
The potential for stiffness value errors when a specific range of image reconstruction parameters is used in combination with Resoundant's algorithm, leading to the reconstruction voxel size settings in the default MRE scan protocol displaying too small.
Philips is recalling a specific MRI system model (782145) because certain image settings can cause stiffness measurements to be too small. This could lead to inaccurate medical scans if used without correction.
The system's image reconstruction settings, when combined with Resoundant's algorithm, can cause the software to display voxel sizes that are too small. This may result in inaccurate stiffness measurements during MRI scans, potentially affecting diagnosis.
Medical professionals using Philips SmartPath to dStream 3.0T MRI systems with model number 782145 are most at risk. Patients undergoing scans with this model may also be affected.
Check for model number 782145 on the device. Units sold with UDI (01)00884838108684(21)17385 and serial number 17385 are affected.
Verify the model number on your device; affected units have model number 782145.
The recall addresses potential stiffness value errors in MRI scans, but the risk is low as it does not cause immediate injury or death.
Check for model number 782145, UDI (01)00884838108684(21)17385, and serial number 17385 on your device.
