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 medical device with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard represents a risk of treatment delay rather than confirmed harm, fitting the rubric criterion for High severity: 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
Philips North America LLC is recalling 64 units of the Ingenia Elition S-a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system, a diagnostic medical device used to produce detailed cross-sectional and spectroscopic images of the body.
The recall addresses a functionality hazard: in manual mode, the patient tabletop may not completely move in or out of the scanner bore. This malfunction could result in a delay in patient evacuation from the bore, which in turn could delay medical treatment.
The affected devices have been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and to over 70 countries internationally. Healthcare facilities with affected serial numbers should review the detailed identifier list and determine if their equipment is included.
Facilities should contact Philips for instructions on device inspection, repair, or mitigation measures.
