MRI Cooling Cabinet Has Incorrect Electrical Warning Label
Cooling cabinets in Philips MRI systems have defective electrical warning labels with incorrect colors and a missing high voltage warning symbol, creating electrical shock risk for service personnel.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This FDA Class III recall involves a labeling defect with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard—electrical shock for service personnel—is theoretical and based on an incorrect warning label, not a product malfunction. Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America is recalling SmartPath to dStream MRI systems (Model No. 781260 and 782112) due to defective electrical safety warning labels on the Liquid Cooling Cabinet (LCC) component.
The warning label on the LCC has a caution symbol with a white background instead of the required yellow background. The label is also missing the high voltage warning symbol. These defects prevent service personnel from clearly recognizing electrical shock hazards when performing maintenance and service work.
The recalled units have been distributed in the United States (to facilities in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Texas) and internationally (to Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Greece, India, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia).
Affected healthcare facilities and service providers should contact Philips North America to obtain corrected warning labels for the cooling cabinet.
