Description

Coherence Dosimetrist, version 2.2. Intended use: Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system

Reason

A problem in the software has the potential to be associated with the dose; when a template is created the user has the possibility to predefine organs. For the Target the user defines the max. dose and the min dose, for the OAR (Organs at Risk) the user only defines the max. dose. The firms engineering team determined that the software defect was repeatable.

Action

Affected consignees will be notified by the Customer Service Engineer to schedule a software update beginning November 2009.

Distribution

Worldwide distribution: USA including: CA, KY, MI, NJ and TN; and countries of: Canada and Mexico.
