United StatesVANTAGE GALAN 3T (Model MRT-3020/MEXL-3020, UDI-DI 04987670102615) and VANTAGE TITAN 3T (Model MRT-3010/MEXL-3010) magnetic resonance imaging systems are affected and can be recognized by those model numbers. They were recalled because ice can form in the superconducting magnet venting system that may block helium venting during a quench, potentially causing pressure build-up, rupture of the helium vessel, and release of helium gas into the MR scanning room.

The hazard
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.
What to do
Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. For other products, stop using them and ask the pharmacist, seller or maker what to do.
