Magnetom prisma, vida, skyra, verio systems

Official notice

18 Nov 2025

MediumHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Magnetom prisma, vida, skyra, verio systems. This field safety corrective action addresses a potential safety issue associated with the magnet venting paths of some 3 Tesla MRI systems, which will require on-site inspection. An ice blockage may have built up within the magnet venting system. In the event of a quench, helium gas may be unable to escape through the designed vent paths, leading to a pressure build-up in the helium containment system. This pressure build-up could ultimately rupture the helium containment system, potentially resulting in a helium leak into the scanning room. Recall start date: August 14, 2025 Published 2025-11-18.
