Hazard Information

There is a potential for an ice blockage to form or currently exist within the magnet venting system. In the event of a quench, helium gas may be unable to escape through the designed venting paths, leading to a pressure build-up within the helium containment system. This pressure build-up could ultimately rupture the helium containment system, potentially resulting in a helium leak into the scanning room.

What You Should Do

Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter

About This Product

The MAGNETOM Skyra fit is a magnetic resonance imaging scanner used in hospitals for diagnostic imaging. It is part of Siemens’ line of high-field MRI systems employed in clinical settings.

Why This Is Dangerous

Ice can block magnet vent pathways. A quench then traps helium gas, risking rupture of containment and a helium leak into the scanning area.

Industry Context

This recall is not described as part of a broader industry pattern.
