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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (MRI scanner) where the defect could lead to delayed diagnosis or patient anxiety, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America LLC is recalling seven units of the MR 7700 diagnostic MRI scanner. The recall is due to a defect where screws in the Integrated Radio Frequency (IRF) Carrier assembly may come loose and protrude beyond the surface. These protruding screws can interfere with other moving parts, potentially blocking the horizontal tabletop.
The malfunction may lead to a delay in diagnosis or cause patient anxiety if a patient is left on the tabletop inside the bore for a longer duration than anticipated. The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous other countries.
Healthcare facilities should contact Philips North America LLC for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The recall number is Z-3202-2024.
