Siemens recalls specific MAGNETOM Prisma MRI models (10849582) due to potential ice blockage in magnet venting system, which could cause helium pressure buildup and leak into scanning room.
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 Prisma MRI machines that may have ice blockages in the magnet venting system. This could lead to helium pressure buildup and potential leaks into the scanning room during a quench event.
Ice blockages in the magnet venting system could prevent helium from escaping during a quench event. This might cause pressure buildup in the helium containment system, potentially rupturing it and leaking helium into the scanning room.
Medical facilities using the recalled MAGNETOM Prisma MRI models (10849582) are affected. Patients and staff in these facilities face the risk of helium leaks during equipment malfunctions.
Check if your MAGNETOM Prisma MRI has model number 10849582. Look for UDI numbers starting with (01)04056869006727 followed by specific 21-digit sequences listed in the record. Serial numbers match the listed numbers.
Verify your MRI's model number is 10849582 to determine if it's affected.
