Manufacturer:Varian Medical Systems
Device Type:Radiation Therapy, Eclipse Treatment Planning System
Description:Radiation Therapy
Medical Device Identifier:Versions 8.5,8.6,8.9, 10, and 11
Reason of Field Safety Corrective Action:If the dose prescription of a VMAT or RapidArc plan is changed after the initial Dose Volume Optimization, the Monitor Units and dose distribution may not reflect the intended prescription. Affects Eclipse v8.5 to v11.
