Canon Medical System, USA, INC. has recalled 153 MRI systems across five different models, including Vantage Orian, Elan, Titan, and Galan systems. A terminal block used to secure the power supply cable for the MRI's gradient coil was not properly secured during manufacturing. This defect can cause the cable to disconnect, which may lead to electrical arcing, melting of the cable, and the potential for smoke or fire within the medical facility. Owners of these specific systems should contact the manufacturer immediately to ensure their equipment is inspected and corrected.
If the gradient coil power cable becomes loose or disconnected due to the faulty terminal block, electrical arcing can occur. This creates intense heat that can melt internal components, ignite materials, and cause a fire, posing a serious danger to patients and healthcare staff.
