Siemens healthcare comes across the letter mr047 / 15 / s to alert its customers in brazil about the possibility that the suppressor lines of some superconducting magnets have not been installed properly.

The field action code MR047 / 15 / S initiated by Siemens addresses the sending of a Risk Letter III to the Customer (situation in which there is a low probability that the use or exposure to a health product may have adverse health consequences ). Recommendation to Users and Patients: Proprietary MRI customers must follow one of the steps below, depending on who performed the MRI suppression facility. The guideline is for customers to have the equipment inspected for installation to assess the existence of the problem. 1) If Siemens has been contracted to install the suppressor line, contact the local Siemens organization for appropriate action. 2) If a third party has been contracted to install the suppressor line, it is recommended that they be contacted and requested to inspect the suppressor line in order to ensure that it has been installed in accordance with the system owner's manual and in accordance with requirements in the design document of the Siemens suppressor line. Notwithstanding, and alternately, Siemens makes itself available to offer users the possibility of requesting an inspection of the installation, after which it will be informed of the result and any identified deficiencies that need to be resolved. Finally, it is important to note that it is important to follow all the guidelines mentioned in the system owner's manual, including ensuring that there is an on-site emergency plan in the event of helium gas dissipation to the magnet room or adjoining rooms.
