Ingenia 1.5T Patient Trolley Wheels May Attract to MRI Magnetic Field
Philips is recalling Ingenia 1.5T patient transportation trolleys with magnetic wheels that could be attracted to MRI magnetic fields. These wheels pose a potential hazard in MRI-equipped facilities when the trolley operates near the magnetic field.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a risk-of-harm medical device without reported injuries or incidents. The magnetic wheels create a theoretical but significant hazard in MRI environments where unintended magnetic attraction could occur during patient transportation.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America is recalling the Ingenia 1.5T (Product Number 781396) with HA FlexTrak II trolley (Accessory Number 989710008732) patient transportation system. The recall is due to a hazard with the trolley wheels.
The trolley wheels contain magnetic materials that could be attracted to the magnetic field of MRI systems. If the trolley is positioned within an MRI system's magnetic field, the wheels may be attracted to it, potentially creating a hazard during patient transportation procedures.
