Reason for recall

identified an issue where a component failure in the specific Gradient Coil type of affected systems can potentially act as a heat source, with a potential to produce smoke and/or fire. If smoke or a fire occurs, the risk to patients or operators may include inhalation of smoke, burns, and/or asphyxia which may lead to injury or even death. This issue could also lead to property damage.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
