Reported: January 21, 2026 Initiated: December 19, 2025 #Z-1017-2026

Product Description

VANTAGE GALAN 3T Model MRT-3020/MEXL-3020

Reason for Recall

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.
