Hitachi Oasis MRI system Product Usage: Hitachi MR system is an imaging device and is intended to provide the physician with physiological and clinical information, obtained non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation. The Oasis system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved crosssectional images that display the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by the MR systems reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.

Class I - Dangerous

Arietta 850 software version 4.0.0., 4.0.1, and 4.0.2 has an error in the focus point and transducer aperture settings in the SWE function. When the affected software with SWE function is used in conjunction with the C252 probe, this error can result in out of specification MI/TI acoustic output. The MI/TI acoustic output is higher than regulatory limits.
