Philips recalls SmartPath to dStream 1.5T-a MRI systems with potential delay in patient evacuation during manual mode use. Affected models include specific serial numbers and UDI codes. No remedy provided in official notice.
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 SmartPath to dStream 1.5T-a MRI systems because the tabletop may not move completely in or out during manual mode, which could delay patient evacuation and treatment. This risk is specific to certain models and serial numbers.
When the tabletop is moved manually, it may not fully extend or retract, creating a risk that patients could be trapped inside the MRI bore. This delay could prevent timely medical intervention during emergencies.
Healthcare facilities using Philips SmartPath to dStream 1.5T-a MRI systems with the specified models and serial numbers are most at risk. Patients undergoing MRI scans during manual mode operation could face delayed evacuation.
Check for the model number 781260 or specific serial numbers listed in the UDI codes (Unique Device Identifier) provided in the recall notice. The affected systems were sold starting in 2021.
