Discovery MR750 3.0T Product Usage: Intended use: The Discovery MR750 3.0Tsystem is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan times. 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 MR750 3.0T system reflect the spatial distribution or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Action the firm took

Consignees received a written recall notice dated 05/17/2017 notifying them of a correction to all units using an Uninterruptable Power Supply. Consignees were instructed not to unplug the unit and to continue normal use. Units with the Eaton 9130 Uninterruptable Power Supply connected to the MR operator console would receive a correction at no charge. This would involve possibly replacing the power cable. GE Representatives will be contacting consignees to arrange corrections. Any questions can be directed to GE Healthcare Service at 1-800-437-1171 or your local service representative.
