Event Description

Philips received a medwatch report (mw5115933) about an incident where an 11 year old girl had sustained a large (3cm) 2nd degree burn on the right calf of her leg during a double mr examination that was performed under general anesthesia.

Manufacturer Narrative

Philips requested and received additional information from the reporter.She stated that the patient was positioned in such a way that the left heel was touching the right calf; the left leg was in a "fixed" frog leg position.Padding was used initially to keep the legs from touching, however, the left heel slid up against the right calf after scooting the patient up to get her into a better position.As the patient was under general anesthesia, she was not able to inform the users of any burning sensation that could have prevented the burn level from increasing.The user reported that there were no other issues with the equipment or external materials used.They have added an additional safety step to double check contact positioning prior to scanning.Conclusion: this burn was the result of an rf loop resulting from skin to skin contact.H3 other text : cause already identified by user.
