Philips recalls Evolution Upgrade 1.5T MRI scanners with MR Elastography (MRE) due to potential stiffness value errors causing inaccurate imaging. Affected models include 782116, 782148, and 782166.
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 their Evolution Upgrade 1.5T MRI scanners with MR Elastography (MRE) because certain image reconstruction settings can cause the scanner to display too small voxel sizes, potentially leading to inaccurate stiffness measurements. This could affect medical imaging results for patients.
The scanner'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 medical imaging, which could affect diagnostic accuracy.
Healthcare facilities using Philips Evolution Upgrade 1.5T MRI scanners with MR Elastography (MRE) models 782116, 782148, or 782166 are most likely affected. Patients undergoing MRI scans with these models may experience inaccurate stiffness measurements.
Check for model numbers 782116, 782148, or 782166 on the scanner. Serial numbers 41527, 70949, 84741 for model 782116; 84560, 41277, 70769, 70983 for model 782148; and 70042 for model 782166.
Identify the model number on your Philips Evolution Upgrade 1.5T MRI scanner to see if it matches 782116, 782148, or 782166.
Reach out to Philips North America for further assistance or to confirm if your scanner is affected.
