Philips Ingenia Elition X MRI Scanner Recall for Image Reconstruction Error

Philips is recalling Ingenia Elition X MRI scanners with MR Elastography due to potential errors in stiffness value measurements when specific image reconstruction parameters are used, which may cause incorrect voxel size display in the default scan protocol.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported hospitalizations or injuries. The source explicitly describes a measurement display error with no statement of illness or harm; therefore, per the rubric, the score is 2 (Moderate).

Plain-English summary

Philips North America is recalling the Ingenia Elition X with MR Elastography (MRE) medical imaging system due to a potential issue with stiffness value errors. The error occurs when a specific range of image reconstruction parameters is used in combination with Resoundant's algorithm, causing the reconstruction voxel size settings in the default MRE scan protocol to display too small.
