SIGNA Premier MR Scanner Magnet Fittings
GE Healthcare is recalling SIGNA Premier MR scanners due to ferrous magnet fittings that could cause personnel injury during service.
Contact GE Healthcare immediately if you operate a SIGNA Premier system. Do not perform service on the magnet while it is ramped. GE Healthcare will provide instructions for inspection and replacement of affected fittings.
Why it was recalled
GE Healthcare is recalling SIGNA Premier whole-body MR scanner systems worldwide due to the potential use of ferrous (steel) fittings instead of non-ferrous (brass) fittings on the magnet rear. If the system is accessed for service while the magnet is ramped, the magnetic field could attract the ferrous fittings, potentially resulting in personnel injury.
