Siemens recalls MAGNETOM Skyra MRI systems with model 10432915 due to potential ice blockage in helium venting system that could cause pressure build-up and helium leaks during quench events.
There is a potential for an ice blockage to form or currently exist within the magnet venting system. In the event of a quench, helium gas may be unable to escape through the designed venting paths, leading to a pressure build-up within the helium containment system. This pressure build-up could ultimately rupture the helium containment system, potentially resulting in a helium leak into the scanning room.
Siemens is recalling specific MAGNETOM Skyra MRI systems with model number 10432915 because ice can form in the helium venting system. If a quench occurs (a sudden loss of superconductivity), this could trap helium pressure, potentially rupturing the system and leaking helium into the scanning room. This is a serious risk to safety in medical facilities.
Ice blockages in the magnet venting system can prevent helium from escaping during a quench event. This leads to pressure buildup in the helium containment system, which may rupture the system and cause helium to leak into the scanning room. Helium leaks pose a risk of asphyxiation and potential equipment damage.
Medical facilities that own or use the recalled MAGNETOM Skyra MRI systems with model number 10432915 are most at risk. The hazard could affect patients and staff during MRI procedures if a quench event occurs.
Check for the model number 10432915 on your MAGNETOM Skyra MRI system. The recall includes specific 510(k) numbers and UDI numbers listed in the official notice. Additional serial numbers were added in November 2025 and January 2026.
Identify your MAGNETOM Skyra MRI system model number (10432915) and verify against the listed 510(k) numbers and UDI numbers.
