Description

Focal Radiation Treatment Planning System, Focal Release 4.50.00 and above for use in radiation treatment planning using generally accepted contouring methods. The Focal software allows users to access XiO and other RTP systems from a remote PC-based system and provides the user with the ability to edit and modify patient data from a Windows-based PC and transfer the information back to the RTP system.

Reason

Focal: for XiO plans calculated in relative dose mode, the Focal Plan Review application will display the DVH and maximum dose correctly. However, the isodose display is not scaled correctly. If the user evaluated the plan based only on the isodose display, they might misinterpret the actual dose delivered to the patient.

Action

Elekta / Computerized Medical Systems Inc sent an undated Safety Notice to consignees beginning on May 21, 2010. The notice identified the product, the problem, and a workaround.
