Philips recalls SmartPath to Ingenia Elition X with MR Elastography (MRE) models 782118, 782144, and 782163 due to potential stiffness value errors in image reconstruction, which may lead to inaccurate scan results.
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 specific models of its SmartPath to Ingenia Elition X with MR Elastography (MRE) devices because image reconstruction settings can cause stiffness values to be too small. This could lead to inaccurate medical scans, but the recall does not involve immediate safety risks.
The device's image reconstruction parameters, when combined with Resoundant's algorithm, can cause the voxel size settings in the default MRE scan protocol to display too small. This leads to potential stiffness value errors in the scan results, which may affect the accuracy of medical imaging.
Patients and healthcare providers using the recalled Philips SmartPath to Ingenia Elition X MRE models may experience inaccurate scan results. Those most at risk are medical professionals who rely on these devices for diagnostic imaging.
Check for model numbers 782118, 782144, or 782163 on the device. The serial numbers are 85655, 71087, or 42299 respectively. These models were sold with specific UDI codes.
Identify the model number on your Philips SmartPath to Ingenia Elition X MRE device to see if it matches 782118, 782144, or 782163.
The affected models are 782118, 782144, and 782163.
The recall is due to potential stiffness value errors in image reconstruction settings, which could lead to inaccurate scan results.
No, the recall does not require stopping use; it is a low-risk issue related to scan accuracy.
