GE Healthcare SIGNA Premier MRI Recall

SIGNA Premier systems

Updated February 27, 2026

GE Healthcare SIGNA Premier MRI systems may have steel fittings instead of brass in the magnet assembly. If a technician accesses the system while the magnet is powered on, the magnetic field could attract the steel fittings and cause serious injury.

Is the GE Healthcare LLC recalled? Yes. This product was recalled by FDA on February 27, 2026. Details below.

What is recalled

GE Healthcare SIGNA Premier whole-body MRI scanner systems that may have ferrous (steel) fittings on the magnet rear instead of non-ferrous (brass) fittings.

Am I affected

You are affected if you operate or service a SIGNA Premier MRI system. Contact your GE Healthcare service representative or facility engineering to determine whether your specific system was manufactured or serviced with the incorrect ferrous fittings.

What to do right now

Contact GE Healthcare immediately to verify whether your SIGNA Premier system has the incorrect ferrous fittings and to receive repair or replacement instructions. Do not access the magnet assembly for service while the system is powered on until you confirm the fittings have been corrected.

The hazard

Whole-Body MR scanners used to produce images of the inside of the human body to aid diagnosis of disease may have been manufactured/serviced with ferrous (steel) fittings instead of non-ferrous (brass) fittings on the magnet rear and if system is accessed to perform service while the magnet is ramped, the magnetic field could attract the ferrous fittings potentially resulting in personnel injury.
