What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall of a medical device with potential for patient harm through incorrect radiation dosing, but no illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported. Per the rubric, when no illnesses/injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3. The risk of dose discrepancy in radiotherapy qualifies as a high-risk condition absent any reported harm.
Plain-English summary
Reflexion Medical, Inc. is recalling three RefleXion X1 Model RXM1000 radiotherapy systems (Serial Numbers X11001, X11002, X11003) that were distributed in California and Texas. The recall was issued because the devices may deliver incorrect radiation doses when treatment plans are delivered to patients positioned in Feet First Supine (FFS) orientation, rather than the intended Head First Supine (HFS) orientation.
The dose discrepancy occurs specifically with FFS patient positioning and could result in incorrect radiation dosing during cancer treatment. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this issue.
Healthcare facilities and medical professionals using these affected radiotherapy systems should contact Reflexion Medical, Inc. immediately for guidance on patient positioning verification and treatment plan review procedures to ensure proper dose delivery.
