Philips recalls Ingenia 1.5T MRI patient transport system with magnetic wheels that could be attracted to MRI machines, posing a risk during scans.
Magnetic materials were used for the wheels of trolley. Wheels with magnetic material might be attracted to MRI systems if the wheels are in the magnetic field.
Philips is recalling its Ingenia 1.5T MRI patient transport system (HA FlexTrak II) because its wheels contain magnetic materials that could be pulled by MRI machines during scans. This could cause injury if the trolley moves unexpectedly near the MRI magnet.
The wheels of the trolley contain magnetic materials that could be attracted to the strong magnetic field of an MRI machine. If the trolley moves unexpectedly near the MRI magnet during a scan, it could cause injury to the patient or staff.
Patients and staff using Philips Ingenia 1.5T MRI systems with the HA FlexTrak II trolley are at risk. Those handling the trolley near MRI machines may face injury if the wheels are attracted to the magnetic field.
Check for the product name 'Ingenia 1.5T HA FlexTrak II' with product number 781396 and accessory number 989710008732. The trolley was sold with Philips MRI systems in the U.S. and Canada.
Inspect the wheels for magnetic materials that could be attracted to MRI machines.
The recall states that wheels with magnetic materials might be attracted to MRI systems, so it is not safe to use near MRI machines without checking for the issue.
