After our investigation and analysis, it was concluded that the mr system and coil used in this case were working correctly.There is no indication of a malfunction of the mr system or coil used that could have contributed to the incident.The reported injury, skin reddening and blistering on the right side of the left thumb most likely caused by the excessive local sar due to skin-skin contact.From the provided patient heating questionnaire, it was stated by the customer that padding used to prevent skin-skin contact, but customer also indicates skin-skin contact was possible (customer indicates: hand tight contact separated by philips accessories (padding), but patient could have moved his hand during the scan).
