Adverse-event reports (MAUDE)

Read this first: 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 shows reporting volume for the average device in the same FDA product code — a reporting baseline, not a risk measure.

No adverse-event reports are linked to this device.

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.Distribution: Nationwide including : DC, PR, Virgin Islands and Bermudain US 3752 unitsclearance family
