Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
An imris customer service engineer assessed the device at the customer site and confirmed the pressure sensors were oversensitive.This produced inadequate electrical continuity and a fault condition locking out mri magnet movement.The root cause related to device design, specifically to requirements for serviceability and repeatable collision detection without producing a fault condition or error message.The integrated pressure activated collision detection system design was functioning as intended to prevent mri magnet movement where the system exhibits an underlying fault condition.This event was reported due to the length of procedural delay under anesthesia reported by the end user before magnet movement was enabled.The end user reported no patient injury occurred.The manufacturer has initiated internal corrective action to further address this issue.

Event or Problem Description

The customer reported that during a craniotomy with intra-operative imaging planned, the collision detection system was activated and would not let the user move the mri scanner.Multiple attempts to troubleshoot were made by the user before the mri scanner was functional again.The customer reported a delay to the procedure of over one hour and administration of additional anesthesia to cover the time during the delay.The craniotomy procedure was resumed after imaging was obtained, and the customer reported there was no serious injury or harm to the patient as a result of the issue.
