MAGNETOM systems, magnetic resonance diagnostic devices (MRDD).

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

Possible installation error of the quench lines of superconducting magnets, used to vent helium gas in the rare event of a quench. 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.
