NCMDR Recall
Back
Reference Number:
mdprc 109 06 13 000
Date submitted:
6/23/2013
Manufacturer:
Elekta Limited
Device Type:
Therapeutic Radiation System, Digital Accelerator
Description:
Precise Treatment System
Medical Device Identifier:
All Digital Accelerators with Electrons and Beam Modulator, MLCi/MLCi2, Agility or Asymmetric Heads
Reason of Field Safety Corrective Action:
Some Digital Accelerators have increased electron applicator auto-tracking settings in the field, to values greater than the factory-set defaults. Increasing auto-tracking values from factory-set defaults goes against Elekta recommendations and can result in the system becoming non-compliant with IEC standards, in particular with the safety standard IEC 60601-2-1
Remedy Action:
Please adhere to the instructions and advice given in manuals and system dialogues, which explicitly state that a change to auto-tracking values could compromise compliance with safety standards and can cause increased unwanted radiation dose to the patient ( More details in attached file ).
