GE Healthcare recalls 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems due to potential cryogen ventilation system failures. Affected units may not meet venting requirements, but no injuries reported. Consumers should contact GE for details.
The magnetic resonance systems could potentially have a cryogen ventilation system that does not meet the venting requirements.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain MRI systems because their cryogen ventilation systems might not meet safety standards. This could lead to unsafe conditions if the system fails during operation, but no injuries have been reported.
The cryogen ventilation system in these MRI machines might not properly vent refrigerant gases. If the system fails, it could create unsafe conditions inside the MRI room, but this is unlikely to cause serious injury.
Medical facilities using GE 1.5T or 3.0T SIGNA HDx series MRI systems are likely affected. Patients and staff at these facilities are at risk if the system malfunctions.
Check for GE Healthcare MRI systems labeled 1.5T SIGNA HDx, 3.0T SIGNA HDx, or similar models. The recall covers all systems listed in the official notice.
Reach out to GE Healthcare for specific instructions on whether your system is affected and what to do next.
No injuries have been reported as of the recall announcement.
Check the model and serial number against the list of affected systems provided by GE Healthcare.
The recall does not require immediate discontinuation; contact GE Healthcare for specific guidance.
