Siemens recalls MAGNETOM Verio Dot MRI scanners with model 10684333 due to potential ice blockage causing helium leaks if a quench occurs. Affected units have specific UDI and serial numbers listed.
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 Dot MRI scanners because ice can block the helium venting system. If a quench happens, helium might trap inside and cause a leak into the scanning room. This could pose a risk during MRI procedures.
Ice blockages in the magnet venting system can prevent helium gas from escaping during a quench event. This leads to pressure buildup that might rupture the helium containment system, causing helium to leak into the scanning room.
MRI facility staff and patients using the recalled MAGNETOM Verio Dot scanners with model number 10684333. Those with the listed UDI or serial numbers are most at risk.
Check for model number 10684333 on the scanner. Affected units have specific UDI numbers starting with (01)04056869006673 and serial numbers listed in the record.
Identify the model number on your MAGNETOM Verio Dot scanner to see if it matches 10684333.
