Optima 1.5T MR430s MR Scanner, a diagnostic imaging device
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
GE Healthcare is recalling 101 Optima 1.5T MR430s MR Scanner diagnostic imaging devices distributed in the United States and multiple countries internationally. The recall was initiated because the gas venting system may not function properly. One facility reported an incident where the magnet quenched and cryogen gas vented into the magnet room instead of being properly expelled, creating a hazard of oxygen deprivation to users and patients in that space.
The recalled devices are identified by specific lot and serial numbers listed in the recall record and were distributed across numerous U.S. states and countries including Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, and others. The recall record does not specify what actions affected consumers should take in response to this recall.
