Siemens recalls Biograph mMR MRI machines with model 10433372 due to potential ice blockage in magnet venting, which could cause helium pressure buildup and system rupture.
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 models of Biograph mMR MRI machines because ice can block the magnet venting system. If a quench occurs, helium gas might not escape properly, risking a pressure buildup that could rupture the helium containment system and leak helium into the scanning room.
Ice blockages in the magnet venting system can prevent helium gas from escaping during a quench event. This may cause pressure to build up inside the helium containment system, potentially rupturing it and leaking helium into the scanning room.
Medical facilities that own or use the recalled Biograph mMR MRI machines with model number 10433372 are most at risk. Patients and staff in these facilities could be affected if the machine malfunctions.
Check for model number 10433372 on the machine. The UDI numbers listed in the recall include specific combinations like (01)04056869006741(21)151032. Serial numbers starting with 151032 or 51057 are also affected.
Verify the model number on the machine is 10433372.
