Canon Medical VANTAGE TITAN 3T MRI recalled for potential helium vessel rupture

OTHERNationwide distribution

Contact Canon Medical about your VANTAGE TITAN 3T MRI

Ice can form in the venting system of Canon Medical VANTAGE TITAN 3T MRI machines (models MRT-3010/MEXL-3010). If the system undergoes a quench event while ice is present, helium gas may not escape properly and pressure inside the helium vessel could build up and rupture, releasing helium gas into the scanning room.

Check if your facility has one of the 22 affected MRI systems using the model and serial numbers provided
Contact Canon Medical USA for inspection and remediation instructions
Do not operate the system until you receive guidance from Canon Medical

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.
