Why these products were recalled

Potential for data loss when using the contouring or patient marking workflow when editing a structure set after saving and reopening a study, resulting in an incomplete structure set sent to the treatment planning system (TPS).

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
