MRI Scanner Loose Screws May Block Tabletop and Delay Diagnosis
The Ingenia Elition X MRI device may have loose screws that interfere with the horizontal tabletop, potentially delaying patient diagnosis and causing anxiety during extended bore exposure.
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 involving a medical imaging device with a mechanical defect that could delay patient diagnosis and cause patient anxiety. Although no injuries or illnesses have been reported, the defect represents a risk of harm in a medical device, fitting the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
Philips North America LLC is recalling 33 Ingenia Elition X MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) devices. The recall is due to a mechanical defect in the Integrated Radio Frequency (IRF) Carrier assembly.
The IRF Carrier assembly screws may become loose and protrude beyond the device surface. This can cause the screws to interfere with other moving parts within the scanner, potentially blocking the horizontal patient tabletop. When the tabletop is blocked, scanning procedures may be delayed and patients already positioned on the tabletop may remain inside the scanner bore longer than anticipated, potentially causing patient anxiety.
The affected units have been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and more than 50 countries. Healthcare facilities with one of the recalled devices should contact Philips for inspection and corrective action instructions. This is a Class II recall. No injuries or illnesses related to this issue have been reported.
