Philips recalls Intera 1.5T Master/Nova MRI systems (model 781106) due to risk of ceiling speakers falling and being pulled by magnetic fields. Affected units may need repair or replacement.
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 certain Intera 1.5T MRI systems because ceiling speakers could fall and be pulled toward the MRI machine by its magnetic field. This hazard could cause injury if the speaker falls onto a person during use.
The MRI machine's strong magnetic field can attract metal objects, including ceiling speakers. If the speaker falls, it could be pulled toward the machine and potentially cause injury to anyone nearby.
