Gradient Coil may act as a heat source with a potential to produce smoke and/or fire.
Philips is recalling MRI systems with model numbers 781357, 782106, and 782137 because the gradient coil could act as a heat source and cause smoke or fire. This hazard requires immediate attention to prevent potential fire risks.
The gradient coil in the MRI system can overheat and produce smoke or fire under certain conditions. This risk is particularly concerning in environments where the system is used regularly, such as hospitals.
Medical facilities using the recalled MRI systems are most at risk. Patients and staff could be exposed to fire or smoke if the system malfunctions.
Check for model numbers 781357, 782106, or 782137 on the MRI system. Serial numbers for model 781357 include 46002 to 46109, and for model 782106 include 46224 to 46311.
