ViewRay MRIdian Radiation Therapy System Software Recall

ViewRay is recalling 5 MRIdian Radiation Therapy Systems due to a software defect that may fail to prompt users to shift the couch to a new isocenter during re-optimization.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this recall as Class II, and the defect involves a radiation therapy system where a failure to shift the couch could result in dose delivery to the wrong location, posing a significant risk of injury.

Plain-English summary

ViewRay Incorporated is recalling 5 units of the MRIdian ViewRay Radiation Therapy System. The affected systems are identified by Model Number 10000 and Serial Numbers 100, 101, 102, 104, and 105. These units were distributed in the United States (including California, Florida, Missouri, and Wisconsin) and internationally to the Republic of Korea and The Netherlands.

The recall is due to a software defect in the treatment planning and delivery system. When a user edits the isocenter or couch position in the treatment workflow and re-optimizes the plan, the software does not prompt the user to shift the couch to the new isocenter. This failure creates a potential risk that radiation dose may be delivered to the initial isocenter rather than the intended new location.

The FDA has classified this recall as Class II. Users of the affected systems should contact ViewRay Incorporated for further instructions on how to address the software issue.
