source quote (p.5)

“SIGNA Prime Elite is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan time. The system uses a combination of time-varying magnet fields (Gradients) and RF transmissions to obtain information regarding the density and position of elements exhibiting magnetic resonance. The system can image in the sagittal, coronal, axial, oblique, and double oblique planes, using various pulse sequences, imaging techniques and reconstruction algorithms. Comprehensive suite of software features, pulse sequences, and image processing applications to support MR imaging of all anatomies.”

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device). Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.
