Description

TomoTherapy HI-ART Systems with 3.1.2, 3.1.3 or 3.2.1 software. The affected applications include Planning Station, Planned Adaptive, Data Management System, and TomoPortal. The product is intended for use in radiation therapy.

Reason

TomoTherapy Inc. discovered an issue on the Hi-Art system during the course of ongoing testing. It has been identified that treatment plans involving very small structures (volume <2cc), reading in a high dose gradient region, may exhibit inaccuracies with the DVH curve and the Dose Statistics for the small structures. This error can only happen if planning was performed using very small voxels
