Philips is recalling 2,214 MRI Patient Monitoring Systems because the instructions for oxygen sensor calibration are incorrect for specific software versions.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a documentation error (incorrect instructions) rather than a direct physical defect causing injury, fitting the Moderate category for minor labeling or documentation issues.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America, LLC is recalling 2,214 units of the Expression MR400 MRI Patient Monitoring System (Model Number 866185). The recall affects devices running software versions 01.03.00, 01.04.00, 01.05.00, and 01.07.00. These systems are intended for use by healthcare professionals to monitor vital signs of patients undergoing MRI procedures and to provide signals for the synchronization of the MRI scanner.
The recall was initiated because menu selections for users to access the oxygen (O2) sensor calibration were changed but not incorporated into the device's Instructions for Use. As a result, the instructions for performing the O2 sensor calibration are incorrect for customers performing this task with the affected software revisions.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in numerous other countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. Healthcare professionals using these devices should consult the recall notice for specific instructions on how to proceed with calibration or contact the manufacturer for guidance.
