Siemens recalls specific MAGNETOM Prisma MRI models due to potential open port in quench venting system when using optional horizontal outlet. Affected units may require repair to prevent safety issues.
Potential of an open port in the quench venting system when using the optional horizontal outlet on the quench line assembly.
Siemens is recalling certain MAGNETOM Prisma MRI machines because a potential open port in the quench venting system could cause safety risks when using the optional horizontal outlet. This recall affects specific model numbers and serial ranges.
The quench venting system is designed to safely release helium gas from the MRI machine. If an open port exists in this system when the optional horizontal outlet is used, it could lead to unintended gas release or system failure.
Medical facilities using the recalled MAGNETOM Prisma MRI models with specific serial numbers are most at risk. Patients and staff using these machines may face safety concerns if the quench venting system is compromised.
Check for the model number 10849582 and serial numbers in the list: 66109, 66111, 166049, 66047, 166037, 66102, 66027, 66053, 66094, 66028, 66069, 66092, 66046, 66082, 166097, 66044, 166082.
Verify the model number is 10849582 and the serial number matches the list provided in the recall notice.
