Recall Z-2659-2025— Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc
Class I · Ongoing
Class I FDA medical device recall by Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc, initiated 2025-08-28. It names 6 FDA 510(k) clearances: K231560, K202014, K173592 and 3 more. Product: MAGNETOM Prisma. Model Number: 10849582.. Reason: 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..

Product description
MAGNETOM Prisma. Model Number: 10849582.
Reason for recall
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.
