GE Healthcare recalls SIGNA Premier MRI systems that may have steel fittings instead of brass, which could attract during service and cause injury if magnet is ramped.
Whole-Body MR scanners used to produce images of the inside of the human body to aid diagnosis of disease may have been manufactured/serviced with ferrous (steel) fittings instead of non-ferrous (brass) fittings on the magnet rear and if system is accessed to perform service while the magnet is ramped, the magnetic field could attract the ferrous fittings potentially resulting in personnel injury.
GE Healthcare is recalling SIGNA Premier MRI systems that may have been manufactured with steel fittings instead of brass. If a technician accesses the system while the magnet is ramping, the steel could be attracted and cause injury.
The system's magnet uses a magnetic field that can attract ferrous (steel) materials. If the magnet is ramped (activated) and someone accesses the system, the steel fittings could move unexpectedly and cause injury.
Healthcare facilities using SIGNA Premier MRI systems are most at risk. Technicians performing maintenance on these systems during ramping operations could be injured.
Check for the system IDs listed in the recall notice. These include specific model numbers like 415353UMR2, 415723SHMR19, and others provided in the recall documentation.
Review the system ID numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your SIGNA Premier MRI system is affected.
