Why it was recalled

GE Medical Systems has discovered a small area on the bore surface of the Discovery MR750w Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging System, normally accessible to the patient, can get warm enough to cause a serious burn in the event the patient touches the bore and proper padding is not used.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.

It is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal and oblique images, spectroscopic images, parametric maps, and/or spectra, dynamic images of the structures and/or functions of the entire body, including, but not limited to, head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions of the body. Depending on the region of interest being imaged, contrast agents may be used. The images produced by the Discovery MR750w 3.0T system reflect the spatial distribution or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance..
