Philips Ingenia 1.5T MRI Device Recall: Loose Screws May Block Tabletop
Philips recalls certain Ingenia 1.5T MRI devices due to loose assembly screws that may block the patient tabletop, potentially delaying diagnosis and causing patient anxiety.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, hospitalizations, or injuries. The hazard is theoretical—loose screws could interfere with the patient tabletop—but actual patient harm has not been documented, making this a High (3) severity per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America LLC is recalling 48 Ingenia 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices distributed worldwide. The devices are used for diagnostic imaging of the head, body, or extremities.
The Integrated Radio Frequency (IRF) Carrier assembly screws in these devices may become loose and protrude beyond the surface. This could cause the screws to interfere with other moving parts, potentially blocking the horizontal patient tabletop.
If the patient tabletop becomes blocked, patients may remain positioned inside the MRI bore longer than necessary, potentially causing diagnostic delays and patient anxiety.
Healthcare facilities operating affected Ingenia 1.5T MRI devices should contact Philips for information regarding inspection and corrective action.
