GE Healthcare recalls Discovery MR750 3.0T MRI systems with specific software versions due to risk of overheating implants when using certain imaging sequences. Affected units have software versions DV24.0 through MR30.1. No action is required as the hazard is not active in normal use.
GE HealthCare has become aware that for certain MR systems, the system predicted B1+RMS value can exceed the B1+RMS user prescribed limit when scanning in Low SAR Mode and the following two conditions are met: 1. 2D FSE T2 FLAIR OR T2 FLAIR Propeller imaging sequence is selected, AND 2. the Optimized T2 FLAIR sequence option is turned off OR not included in the MR configuration. If this occurs, it can result in overheating of an MR conditional implant.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain versions of their Discovery MR750 3.0T MRI systems. The software versions listed in the recall could cause overheating of medical implants during specific imaging scans if two conditions are met. This is a safety issue that requires attention to prevent potential harm.
The system may predict a B1+RMS value that exceeds the user's prescribed limit when scanning in Low SAR Mode. This can happen if specific imaging sequences (2D FSE T2 FLAIR or T2 FLAIR Propeller) are selected and the Optimized T2 FLAIR sequence option is disabled. If overheating occurs, it could damage MR-conditional implants.
MRI system users who own or operate Discovery MR750 3.0T systems with affected software versions. Patients with MR-conditional implants are at higher risk if they undergo scans with the problematic settings.
Check if your Discovery MR750 3.0T MRI system has software versions DV24.0, DV25.0, DV25.1, DV26.0 to DV26.4, DV29.1, MR30.0, or MR30.1. The system ID numbers listed in the recall record can help identify affected units.
Verify your MRI system's software version by checking the system ID or software version number on the device.
No action is required as the hazard is not active in normal use. The recall is for awareness and potential correction if needed.
Software versions DV24.0, DV25.0, DV25.1, DV26.0 to DV26.4, DV29.1, MR30.0, and MR30.1 are affected.
Check your system ID against the list provided in the recall record. Affected units have specific system IDs listed in the recall.
