Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. is recalling SmartPath to dStream for 1.5T MRI systems, Model Number 782146 (all serial numbers). The Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal adhesive may fail during use, creating sharp edges that could come into contact with patients during scanning.

Three units have been distributed outside the US across numerous countries worldwide, and affected devices are in use across the United States.
Patients or healthcare facility personnel who believe they have been exposed to a loose or damaged QBC seal should contact their device manufacturer or healthcare provider for guidance on inspection and potential remediation of affected units.
