ViewRay MRIdian Radiation Therapy System Recalled for Treatment Interruption Error

ViewRay is recalling five MRIdian Radiation Therapy Systems because they loaded a completion fraction in the incorrect order after a treatment interruption.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 medical device with a functional defect that could impact treatment accuracy, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or fatalities, nor does it explicitly state that no injuries have occurred, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
