GE Medical Systems recalls Discovery MR750w 3.0T MRI systems with specific software versions (DV24.0 to MR30.1) that may overheat implants during Low SAR Mode scans if certain imaging sequences are used.
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 Medical Systems is recalling Discovery MR750w 3.0T MRI systems with specific software versions (DV24.0 through MR30.1) because they can overheat medical implants when scanning in Low SAR Mode with certain imaging sequences. This risk affects patients with MR-conditional implants.
The system can overheat an MR-conditional implant when scanning in Low SAR Mode with 2D FSE T2 FLAIR or T2 FLAIR Propeller imaging sequences, and the Optimized T2 FLAIR sequence option is disabled or not included in the MR configuration. This overheating could cause injury.
Patients using the Discovery MR750w 3.0T MRI systems with software versions DV24.0 through MR30.1 are at risk of implant overheating during specific scans. Those with MR-conditional implants are most vulnerable.
Check if your Discovery MR750w 3.0T MRI has software versions DV24.0, DV25.0, DV25.1, DV26.0 to DV26.5, DV29.1, MR30.0, or MR30.1. The system ID numbers listed in the recall record can help identify affected units.
Verify your MRI's software version by checking the system ID or software version listed in the recall record.
Reach out to GE Medical Systems for guidance on whether your system is affected and what steps to take next.
Software versions DV24.0, DV25.0, DV25.1, DV26.0 to DV26.5, DV29.1, MR30.0, and MR30.1 are affected.
No, but you should check your software version and contact GE Medical Systems to determine if your system is affected.
If your MRI is affected, it may overheat MR-conditional implants during specific scans, so you should contact GE Medical Systems for further instructions.
