Philips recalls specific MRI scanners (model numbers 782120, 782153) due to potential fire risk from gradient coil failures. Affected units may produce smoke or fire if components overheat.
The potential for component failures in the Gradient Coil of the affected MR systems may act as a heat source with a potential to produce smoke and/or fire.
Philips is recalling certain MRI scanners (model numbers 782120 and 782153) because a component in the gradient coil could overheat and cause smoke or fire. This risk affects medical facilities using these machines for imaging.
The gradient coil in the affected MRI systems may fail and act as a heat source, potentially producing smoke or fire. This could happen during normal operation if the component overheats, especially in environments where the scanner is used frequently.
