Recall record

Recall number: Z-1375-2011
Status: Terminated
Initiated: 2010-11-18
Posted: 2011-02-18
Terminated: 2012-02-04
Recalling firm: GE Healthcare
Product: GE Healthcare Discovery MR750 3.0T The GE Signa MR750 System is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan times. The GE Signa MR750 System is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images, spectroscopic images, parametric maps, and/or spectra, dynamic images of the structures and organs of the entire body, including, but not limited to, head, neck, TMVJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions of the body. The images produced by the GE Signa MR750 System reflect the spatial distribution or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. These images when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis. The indications for use for the 3.0T GE Signa MR750 System are similar to those for the Signa HDx Magnetic Resonance System and the Siemens MAGNETOM Verio MR System.
Product code: LNH System, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Reason for recall: GE Healthcare has become aware that during certain service procedures, there is a potential for electric shock associated with the gradient cooling manifold hoses of your MR750, MR450, and MR450w MR systems that may impact service or maintenance personnels safety. The gradient cooling manifolds used on the affected systems may contain electrically conductive hoses, which become live when the g

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.
