Siemens recalls specific MAGNETOM Verio MRI models (serial numbers listed) 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 certain MAGNETOM Verio MRI machines that may have ice blockages in the helium venting system. This could lead to dangerous pressure build-ups and helium leaks if the machine undergoes a quench event, potentially affecting the scanning room.
Ice blockages in the magnet venting system may prevent helium gas from escaping during a quench event. This can cause pressure build-up in the helium containment system, potentially rupturing it and leaking helium into the scanning room.
Medical facilities using the recalled MAGNETOM Verio MRI models (serial numbers listed) are most at risk. Patients and staff in these facilities could be affected if the machine malfunctions during a quench event.
Check if your MAGNETOM Verio MRI has the model number 10276755 and one of the listed serial numbers (40649 through 40879, with additional serial numbers added in 2025-2026).
