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: FDA Class II recall for a fire and smoke hazard in medical equipment where no injuries or property damage have been reported. This represents a risk-of-harm scenario with electrical fire potential, but lacks documented harm to justify a higher severity score.
Plain-English summary
Philips has recalled the Ingenia 3.0T CX MRI scanner (model numbers 782105 and 781271) due to a potential electrical hazard in the global Mains Distribution Unit (g-MDU). The L3 terminal connection in this component may become loose over time.
A loose terminal connection creates a hotspot that could cause smoke or fire to develop in the hospital's technical room where the MRI equipment is housed. This poses a fire hazard to the facility and its occupants.
The recall affects approximately 350 units that have been distributed worldwide, including locations in the United States and 26 other countries including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and others.
Hospitals and medical facilities with affected Ingenia 3.0T CX MRI scanners should contact Philips North America LLC for instructions on how to address this issue. Do not operate the equipment if you suspect a loose terminal connection.
