Magnetic resonance imaging radiofrequency coil developer NeoCoil said it is recalling its 3 tesla 16 channel Flex Speeder large coil due to an increased burn risk.
The company said that the recall was initiated due to “the potential for higher than specified surface temperatures,” which could result in patient warming or burns.
The recall affects a total of 39 units, shipped starting in December 24 with part number NC046200, according to the recall notice.
NeoCoil instructed customers with the device to discontinue use of the devices, and prepare to return the devices for correction.
