Product Description
VANTAGE TITAN 3T Model MRT-3010/MEXL-3010
Reason for Recall
There is a potential for formation of ice occurring in the venting system of the superconducting magnet of the MRI systems. if a quench occurs in this condition, helium gas may not be able to escape via the designed vent paths, and the pressure in the helium vessel may rise. This pressure build-up could eventually rupture the helium vessel, causing helium gas to be released into the MR scanning room.
Distribution Pattern
U.S. Nationwide distribution in the states of CA, CO, FL, IA, IL, IN, KS, MD, MO, MT, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, PR, TX, VA, and WI.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic, removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency, Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.
Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch.
