MRI Diagnostic Device Recalled for Loose Assembly Screws Blocking Equipment
Philips Ingenia Elition S MRI machines (10 units) are recalled because assembly screws may come loose and interfere with the horizontal 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 a Class II medical device recall with a mechanical defect posing risk to proper patient care and diagnosis. No injuries or illnesses have been reported, but the potential for diagnostic delay and patient discomfort is documented in the source material, meeting the criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America LLC is recalling 10 Ingenia Elition S MRI diagnostic devices due to a defect in the Integrated Radio Frequency (IRF) Carrier assembly. The assembly screws may come loose and protrude beyond the surface, where they could interfere with other moving parts and potentially block the horizontal tabletop.
The affected units are identified by serial numbers: 26020, 26023, 26026, 26034, 46240, 46270, 46310, 46315, 46324, and 46352. These devices have worldwide distribution, including across the United States and over 50 additional countries.
If the tabletop becomes blocked due to protruding screws, it may delay patient diagnosis and leave patients in the MRI bore longer than anticipated, which may cause anxiety. Healthcare facilities operating these specific serial-numbered units should contact Philips for inspection and repair guidance.
