Siemens MRI Recall: 18 MAGNETOM Skyra Fit BioMatrix Systems Recalled Over Helium Vent Blockage Risk
Siemens Medical Solutions USA recalls 18 MAGNETOM Skyra Fit BioMatrix MRI systems worldwide due to ice blockage in the magnet venting system that could trap helium gas during a quench. The risk is a ruptured helium containment and a potential helium leak into the scanning room. Hospitals and clinicians should stop using the affected devices and await manufacturer instructions.
