App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Firm was informed of an event in which the structural integrity of the MR system components failed due to unintended excessive pressure buildup of helium gas during a magnet quench. If the system is unable to contain the pressured helium gas due to an unforeseen blockage in the system, risks to patients and/or operators that may lead to injury or death include chemical exposure (i.e. helium gas) that may expand to surrounding rooms, contusion caused by debris, and asphyxia.
