Plain-English summary

Innovative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems Inc. (IMRIS) is recalling the ORT100 (Part Number 110470-000) and ORT200 (Part Number 112216-00) operating room tables. These tables are used in the Neuro II-SE and Neuro III-SV Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems. The recall involves 23 units distributed nationwide, including in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.

The recall was initiated because, if proper procedure is not followed, the foot end of the table may be attracted to the MRI magnet as the magnet approaches the table. This poses a potential risk of injury to both the patient and operators standing near the table.

The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers beyond the initiation of the recall.
