SIGNA Explorer, with affected software versions: SV25.5, SV25.6, SV29.2, MR30.0, MR30.1; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging System
GE Medical Systems
GE HealthCare has become aware that for certain MR systems, the system predicted B1+RMS value can exceed the B1+RMS user prescribed limit when scanning in Low SAR Mode and the following two conditions are met: 1. 2D FSE T2 FLAIR OR T2 FLAIR Propeller imaging sequence is selected, AND 2. the Optimized T2 FLAIR sequence option is turned off OR not included in the MR configuration. If this occurs, it can result in overheating of an MR conditional implant.
Fractures and breakages in packaging trays and Tyvek covers, which may result in a sterility breach

Philips lntelliVue Patient Monitors MX400/450/500/550 Shipped or Upgraded with Incorrect Software Options. Changes were made to reflect some options becoming standard capabilities for software-version N.x. In the process, the entitlements of software options MOS, M06, and M20 were removed for software versions L.x and M.x. As a result of these changes Patient Monitors manufactured with or updated to the latest versions of software L.x or M.x will not offer the capabilities> Mmonitors with software version K.x may experience this issue too, due to software version K being out of support and the devices being provided with L.x entitlements offered by software options MOS, M06, and M20.
