Philips recalls Intera 1.5T Achieva CV Nova MRI systems (model 781174) due to risk of ceiling speakers falling into the MRI machine's magnetic field.
There is a potential for the ceiling speaker(s) to fall from their position and be pulled to the MR system by the magnetic field.
Philips is recalling its Intera 1.5T Achieva CV Nova MRI systems (model 781174) because ceiling speakers could fall and be pulled into the MRI machine's magnetic field. This poses a risk of injury if the speaker falls and contacts the patient or equipment.
The MRI machine's strong magnetic field can attract metal objects, including ceiling speakers. If a speaker falls, it could be pulled into the machine and cause injury to patients or staff.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled MRI systems are most at risk. Patients and staff during MRI scans could be affected if the speaker falls.
Check for the model number 781174 on the Intera 1.5T Achieva CV Nova MRI system. The recall applies to all systems sold by Philips Medical Systems Nederlands.
Look for the model number 781174 on the MRI system's label or documentation.
