Description

Panorama 1.0T HFO, Magnetic Resonance (MR) System; Model Numbers 781250 and 781350. Philips Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems are Medical Electrical Systems for use as a diagnostic device.

Reason

Firm was informed of an event in which the structural integrity of the MR system components failed due to unintended excessive pressure buildup of helium gas during a magnet quench. If the system is unable to contain the pressured helium gas due to an unforeseen blockage in the system, risks to patients and/or operators that may lead to injury or death include chemical exposure (i.e. helium gas) that may expand to surrounding rooms, contusion caused by debris, and asphyxia.
