On (b)(6) 2014, the hospital representative reported that a pin from the ort200 table block (frequently operated by the customer when installing/removing the ort200 table) became loose and was drawn into the magnet, puncturing the image quality phantom and the headrest extension.The event occurred during testing of the phantom on (b)(6) 2014.No injuries were reported.

There are three pins or bolts that hold the ort200 table block in place on the floor of the or.One of the pins went missing for two weeks before it was actually reported missing on (b)(4) 2014.Or personnel are trained to always account for each of the three pins when installing the table block, since they are made of ferrous material.When the pin went missing, the mr suite should have been shut down until the pin was located; or personnel neglected to account for the missing pin; therefore, user error contributed to this incident.Imris shall perform further investigation to determine if additional mitigations are necessary to avoid the use error of leaving ferrous pins in the suite.Note: the 510(k) # recorded is for the imris system (neuro iii-sv) installed at (b)(6).
