… And again. ⚠️😳
How many accidents? How many ramp-downs or damaged magnets? How many injured patients or healthcare workers before we minimally demand the established best practices that prevent them?

Statement from @aboutKP regarding recent #MRI accident at their Redwood City (California) hospital.
Presumably the statement pertains to the recent photo of an MRI accident (photo not part of the KP statement).

OK, we get that hiring experts in MRI suite design and construction may sometimes seem like a hassle on the front-end, but consider the value of patient care services and equipment damage on the back-end! 💰

The FGI has just released an errata which incorporates the recent IEC change to their MRI static magnetic field safety threshold from 5 Gauss (0.5 mT) to 9 Gauss (0.9 mT) for MRI physical environment safety.

RAD-Planning has just recently learned of an "Urgent Medical Device Correction" issued by @GEHealthcare in Dec of 2021.
"GEHC Magnetic Resonance systems could potentially have a cryogen ventilation system that does not meet the venting requirements.

and (b) that these sites conduct annual quench pipe inspections (see prior RAD-Planning quench pipe inspection guidance if you haven't faithfully maintained a quench pipe inspection regime).

For sites with GE Healthcare superconducting MRI systems with quench pipes, we urge you to obtain a copy of the "urgent medical device correction" notice from December 2021 and make sure that reviews / inspections are conducted according to the GE guidance.
