What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Philips North America is recalling three units of the Intera 1.5T Achieva Nova-Dual MRI system (Product Number 781173; Serial Numbers 13010, 13006, and 21501). One unit is located in the United States; two are located outside the United States.
The recalled systems have a component failure in the Gradient Coil that can act as a heat source, potentially producing smoke and/or fire.

The issue could also lead to property damage.
The affected devices have been distributed worldwide, including to facilities in Arizona, California, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, and South Dakota in the United States, as well as to Australia, Brazil, Ecuador, Germany, Iran, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Libya, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, and Spain internationally.
