Reason for Recall
When resuming from a beam pause, the Proton Therapy System does not verify whether the beam range has not been manually modified during the pause and is still the prescribed one. Therefore, if an operator manually modified the range during a pause, there is a risk that a portion of the treatment beam after the resume is delivered with an error in range
Firm Action
IBA issued Urgent Medical Device Correction notification on February 15, 2022 directly to customer either by hand or by email. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take:
