Approximately 8,631 Philips Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems, including Achieva, Ingenia, Intera, and Panorama models, are being recalled because an electrical connection can become loose. This defect can create a hotspot that leads to overheating, smoke, or fire in the hospital's technical room. If you are using one of these systems, please contact your healthcare provider or Philips North America for further instructions.
A loose terminal connection in the global Mains Distribution Unit (g-MDU) can cause electrical resistance and overheating. This creates a high fire risk that could trigger smoke alarms or lead to a fire in the hospital's technical facility.
