RayStation radiation therapy planning software density uncertainty computational defect
RayStation treatment planning software versions 4.5 through 2024B may incorrectly handle density uncertainty in radiation dose calculations for proton and light ion therapy. An inconsistency in three key functions could affect treatment planning accuracy.
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: FDA Class II recall affecting radiation therapy dose calculations. Although no injuries or illnesses are reported, this is a risk-of-harm product where computational errors in density uncertainty handling could affect dose accuracy in cancer treatment.
Plain-English summary
RayStation is a radiation therapy treatment planning system used to calculate doses for patients receiving proton or light ion therapy. The software versions 4.5 through 2024B, including certain service packs, are affected. The recall addresses an inconsistency in how the software handles density uncertainty when using HU-to-mass density CT calibration curves, specifically affecting three functions: Robust optimization, Robust evaluation, and Compute perturbed dose.
When density uncertainty is handled inconsistently in these functions, the calculated radiation dose may not accurately reflect the intended treatment plan. This could result in patients receiving incorrect dose distributions during radiation therapy.
RayStation is distributed worldwide. The affected software versions and specific identifiers are detailed in the FDA recall notice.
