Reason of Field Safety Corrective Action:Varian has identified an installation anomaly whereby the bolts used to fasten the counterweight to the gantry may not, in some cases, be fully tightened to the required torque specification. In the worst possible scenario this could result in the counterweight detaching from the gantry; and the resulting unbalanced gantry may swing freely, posing a hazard of a collision with a patient, therapist, or service person.
Remedy Action:Immediately investigate ANY unusual noises originating in the Clinac. Report any unusual noise to those responsible for servicing your Clinac. ANNUAL COUNTERWEIGHT MOUNTING BOLTS INSPECTION: 1. Remove the 2 rear Counterweight covers. 2. Inspect each of the four mounting bolts for looseness. Inspect all 4 washer pairs for any cracks. 3. Rotate Gantry to both limits while listening for any noise created from the Counterweight area. 4. If any problems are observed, it may be necessary to replace washers or torque bolts.
