Canon Medical System, USA, INC.: MRI Systems Recalled for Incorrect Safety Data and Gradient Values

Agency Publication Date: March 4, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Canon Medical System has recalled 159 MRI systems, including the Vantage Orian, Vantage Fortian, Vantage Elan, and Vantage Titan models, because they display incorrect magnetic field gradient values. The safety manuals and the "System Information" window show maximum Spatial Field Gradient (SFG) values that are lower than they actually are. This error could lead healthcare providers to incorrectly scan patients who have "MR conditional" medical implants, assuming the magnetic field is within the implant's safe limits when it is actually higher. While no injuries have been reported, this defect could cause discomfort or unintended interactions with a patient's medical device.

Risk

The incorrect data displays a magnetic field strength that is lower than the actual output. This may cause a patient with an MR conditional device (like a pacemaker or metallic implant) to experience discomfort or device interference during a scan because the actual magnetic environment exceeds the safe operating conditions of their specific implant.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your facility is using an affected MRI system by checking the model and serial numbers. Affected models include Vantage Orian and Vantage Fortian (MRT-1550), Vantage Elan (MRT-2020), and Vantage Titan (MRT-1504).
  2. For the Vantage Orian and Vantage Fortian (MRT-1550), check for serial numbers such as S2A1962005, S6B2312016, S5B2292037, S2B2052011, and others listed in the recall notice (UDI-DI: 04987670103360, 04987670104831).
  3. For the Vantage Elan (MRT-2020), identify the single affected unit with serial number S1F2052753 (UDI-DI: 04987670101632).
  4. For the Vantage Titan (MRT-1504), check for 40 serial numbers including U4B15Y2102, U5B15Z2001, U4B1492080, and U4B1612104 (UDI-DI: 04987670102400).
  5. If you are a patient scheduled for an MRI and have an implanted medical device, discuss the safety parameters of your specific device with your healthcare provider before the scan.
  6. Healthcare facilities should contact Canon Medical System, USA, INC. at 2441 Michelle Dr, Tustin, California, or call their support line to receive the corrected safety manual and software information.
  7. Contact your healthcare provider or the manufacturer for further instructions regarding system updates and safety protocols.
  8. For more information or to report concerns, contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332 or visit www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls.
