Why it was recalled
According to the FDA_DEVICE notice, the identified hazard is: Under certain conditions, photon beams in High Energy Clinacs may experience a gradual change in beam symmetry, potentially reaching an asymmetry of up to about 7% before interlock occurs. At maximum asymmetry, this may result in no more than about 3.5% dose deviation from expected at any point in the beam, and may result in minor injury to the patient or slightly decreased local disease control.
