2025-08-28Z-2661-2025Class IOpen, ClassifiedThere is a potential for an ice blockage to form or currently exist within the magnet venting system. In the event of a quench, helium gas may be unable to escape through the designed venting paths, leading to a pressure build-up within the helium containment system. This pressure build-up could ultimately rupture the helium containment system, potentially resulting in a helium leak into the scanning room.k number procode

2023-09-01Z-2648-2023Class IIOpen, ClassifiedIn some cases, when lubricating grease is present within the headband of the over-ear headphones, it may cause visible, dot- or lineshaped, fat-isointense artifacts during head examinations only. These potential artifacts depend on the position of the headband, the amount of lubricating grease, as well as the sequence parameters usedcode info di
2015-12-07Z-0467-2016Class IITerminatedPossible installation error of the quench lines of superconducting magnets, used to vent helium gas in the rare event of a quench. Any restriction, obstruction, or improper installation of the quench line may cause the helium gas to be blown directly into the magnet room or other areas. This could lead to displacement of oxygen, cause cold burns, and/or pose a risk to users, patient or others.k number procode

Adverse-event reports — MAUDE (0)

Caveat (required reading): MAUDE report counts cannot be used to compute incidence rates or compare device safety. Reporting is incomplete, duplicated, and spikes with publicity; there is no denominator of devices in use. The peer line is a reporting baseline (average device in the same product code), not a risk measure.
