Timeline

9 May 2016	Recall initiated by company
8 Jun 2016	Classified by FDA	+30 days
15 Jun 2016	Published in enforcement report	+7 days

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

The gas venting may not occur properly. A site reported a magnet quenching with subsequent venting of the cryogen gas into the magnet room. Cryogen gas that vents into the magnet room could cause critical deprivation of oxygen to users and patients.

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.
