Plain-English summary

IBA Dosimetry GmbH is recalling 33 units of the iba COMPASS SW Version 3.0, Catalog Number CS10-100. This software is used in medical linear accelerators for radiological purposes.

The recall was initiated after the development partner identified a problem in a software component used when converting Region of Interest (ROI) geometries to dose grid representation. Under certain conditions, this defect generates too large ROI voxel volumes, which results in erroneous dose statistics and Dose-Volume Histograms (DVHs).

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (CT, MA, OH, CA, SC, NY, and OK) and internationally in Poland, Germany, GB, The Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
