Recalling firm: Philips North America LLC
Product: Intera Achieva 1.5T Pulsar. Model (REF) Number 781171.
Product code: LNI System, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic
Reason for recall: The Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal adhesive may fail, creating sharp edges that may come in contact with patients.

Root cause tag: manufacturing process
FDA root cause: Process control
Action: On January 4, 2024, the firm began notification of affected customers via URGENT Medical Device Correction letters. Customers were provided with precautions to take when using the device, including inspection of the QBC seal for separation. If the QBC seal is found to be loose, or becomes loose during a patient scan, customers should immediately stop use and contact their local Philips service representative. Customers should also ensure that all users of the device are aware of the issue and retain the letter with affected systems until a solution is installed. Philips will contact customers to schedule a time for a Field Service Engineer (FSE) to visit your site and replace your system's QBC Seal. Philips plans to start implementing corrections in Q3 2024. If you need any further information or support concerning this issue, please contact your local Philips representative: For North America, contact the Customer Care Solutions Center (1-800-722-9377). Revision B of the URGENT Medical Device Correction letter was distributed to the additional US consignees on 24-Mar-2025. It was later identified that UMDC Rev B contained three MR systems with a 70cm bore (Ingenia 1.5T: 781341, Ingenia 3.0T: 781377, Ingenia Ambition X: 782109) which were incorrectly included, as the scope of this field action is MR systems with 60cm bore. The URGENT Medical Device Correction letter was updated to Rev C to remove these systems. Revision C of the UMDC was distributed to the additional US consignees on 09-Apr-2025.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
