Description
Best Theratronics cabinet x-ray systems intended for use in the irradiation of blood and blood products (packaged in transfusion bags) to inactivate T-lymphocytes for the prevention of Graft Versus Host Disease.
Reason
It was discovered that both the new device and the predicate device failed to comply with performance standard.
Action
Best Theratronics ( BTL) planned action to bring into compliance: BTL proposes that the repairs are to be completed during annual routine preventive maintenance visits at the user's site to minimize downtime, which disrupts the user's ability to irradiate blood. A standard repair kit has been developed. For further information, please contact Best Theratronics Customer Service at 1-866-792-8598
