Philips recalls Ingenia Elition S-a 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 certain Ingenia Elition S-a MRI systems because the tabletop might not move completely in or out during manual mode, potentially delaying patient evacuation and treatment. This could lead to serious harm if a patient needs urgent care.
When the MRI system is in manual mode, the tabletop may not fully move in or out of the patient's position. This can delay emergency evacuation from the MRI bore, which might be critical if a patient requires immediate medical attention.
Medical facilities using the affected MRI systems are most at risk, particularly during emergencies when rapid patient evacuation is needed. Patients undergoing scans with these systems could face delayed treatment.
Check for model number 781357 on the system's label or documentation. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice, including combinations like 46029 (01)00884838088108(21)46029.
Look for model number 781357 on the system's label or documentation to confirm if it's affected.
