GE SIGNA Architect AIR MRI System Recall: Elevated Acoustic Noise Risk
GE Medical Systems recalls SIGNA Architect AIR MRI systems with specific UDI codes due to potential elevated acoustic noise during scans. Affected units may require correction to prevent hearing damage.
Use caution until it’s fixed
Gradient coils for certain MR systems (see affected product list in this letter), under specific conditions, can produce elevated acoustic noise during scanning.

What happened, in plain English
GE Medical Systems is recalling certain SIGNA Architect AIR MRI systems because gradient coils can produce loud noises during scans under specific conditions. This could potentially cause hearing damage if not addressed. Read more at govinfonow.com/recall/53629-ge-signa-architect-air-mri-system-recall-elevated-acoustic-noise.

“GE SIGNA Architect AIR MRI System Recall: Elevated Acoustic Noise Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated August 18, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/53629-ge-signa-architect-air-mri-system-recall-elevated-acoustic-noise. Based on FDA recall #Z-0519-2025 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-0519-2025%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The gradient coils in these MRI systems can generate elevated acoustic noise during scanning under specific conditions. This noise could potentially cause hearing damage if the patient is not protected with appropriate hearing protection.
Who’s affected
Medical facilities using the recalled SIGNA Architect AIR MRI systems are most at risk. Patients undergoing scans with these systems may experience hearing damage if the noise is not properly managed.
How to tell if you have this one
Check for the UDI/DI codes listed in the recall notice, which include specific system IDs like 82427110161. The affected models were sold between 2023 and 2024.
