FDA Recall Notice

There is a potential for formation of ice occurring in the venting system of the superconducting magnet of the MRI systems. if a quench occurs in this condition, helium gas may not be able to escape via the designed vent paths, and the pressure in the helium vessel may rise. This pressure build-up could eventually rupture the helium vessel, causing helium gas to be released into the MR scanning room.
