Philips recalls Ingenia Ambition X MRI systems where manual mode may cause tabletop movement delays, risking patient evacuation delays during emergencies. Affected units have specific serial numbers and model identifiers.
When using manual mode, the tabletop may not completely move in or out and result in potential delay in patient evacuation from the bore, which could result in a delay of treatment
Philips is recalling its Ingenia Ambition X MRI systems because the tabletop may not move fully in manual mode, potentially delaying patient evacuation from the MRI bore. This could lead to treatment delays in emergencies.
When the MRI system is in manual mode, the tabletop might not move completely in or out. This could delay patient evacuation from the MRI bore, which is critical during emergencies when quick treatment is needed.
Healthcare facilities using the Ingenia Ambition X MRI systems are most at risk. Patients undergoing scans with these systems could face treatment delays if the tabletop doesn't move properly.
Check for model number 781356 and serial numbers listed in the UDI# (e.g., 47077, 47194, etc.) on the device. These units were sold with specific serial numbers between 2019 and 2023.
