Viewray is recalling 24 MRIdian Linac Radiation Therapy Systems because the operator's manual and software lack adequate instructions for transferring treatment plans between systems.

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: The recall involves a high-risk medical device (radiation therapy) where a lack of instructions could lead to improper treatment, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
