Editing a static arc beam may unexpectedly set the MU of the beam to its initial default value of 200 MU. If the bug is triggered, the dose is invalidated and needs to be recalculated before the plan can be approved or exported.

Field Safety Notice, Medical Device Correction notification letters dated 11/18/19 were sent to customers. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE USER " Be aware that the MU of static arc beams may change unexpectedly when using the Edit beam dialog or when editing the beam aperture. " Always review the final dose before approving a plan for treatment: WARNING! Plan review and approval. All treatment plan data shall be carefully reviewed and approved by a qualified person before it is used for radiotherapy treatment purposes.
