Philips North America is recalling 8,052 units of various Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging systems, including models in the Achieva, Ingenia, and MR 5300 lines. The recall was initiated because components in the Gradient Coil of these systems can fail and act as a heat source. If these components overheat, they have the potential to produce smoke or cause a fire within the imaging environment. Consumers should contact their facility administrator or the manufacturer to arrange for an official system correction.
A component failure in the Gradient Coil can lead to excessive heat buildup during medical scans. This overheating creates a risk of smoke inhalation and fire, which could cause injury to patients or medical staff and damage clinical facilities.
