Philips recalls SmartPath to dStream 1.5T MRI systems with MR Elastography (MRE) due to potential stiffness value errors from image reconstruction settings. Affected units have specific model numbers and serial numbers.
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 certain SmartPath to dStream 1.5T MRI systems with MR Elastography (MRE) because image reconstruction settings can cause stiffness value errors. This may lead to inaccurate medical imaging results.
The system's image reconstruction parameters can interact with Resoundant's algorithm to produce too small voxel sizes in the default MRE scan protocol. This causes stiffness value errors that may lead to inaccurate medical imaging results.
Medical facilities using Philips SmartPath to dStream 1.5T MRI systems with MR Elastography (MRE) that have the specific model numbers and serial numbers listed. Patients undergoing MRI scans with these systems may receive inaccurate imaging results.
Check for model numbers 781260 or 782112. Serial numbers 21554, 13018, 12033 for model 781260, and 30143, 22051, 32156 for model 782112.
Identify if your system has model numbers 781260 or 782112 with the listed serial numbers.
