Philips recalls Ingenia Elition X MRI systems with specific product numbers due to risk of bypassing smoke detector interlock after power cycling.
The system operator is able to bypass the SmokeDetector Interlock system locking mechanism after a smoke detection by power cycling the system.
Philips is recalling certain Ingenia Elition X MRI systems because users can bypass the smoke detector safety feature by restarting the machine. This could allow smoke to enter the system and cause fire or injury.
The system's smoke detector interlock can be disabled by power cycling the machine. This means smoke alarms may not activate during a fire, potentially allowing fire to spread inside the MRI room.
Medical facilities using the recalled MRI systems are most at risk. Owners of these specific product numbers should check their equipment.
Check for product numbers 781358, 782107, or 782118 on the MRI system. Serial numbers are listed in the detailed recall information provided by Philips.
Verify if your MRI system has the recalled product numbers or serial numbers listed in the official recall notice.
