RaySearch RayStation Software Recalled for Dose Calculation Errors

RaySearch Laboratories AB is recalling RayStation software versions 2.5 through 4.0 due to dose calculation issues in specific VMAT plans.

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 medical device software defect affecting radiation therapy dose calculations, which poses a risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

RaySearch Laboratories AB is recalling RaySearch RayStation 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 software systems. The recall involves 539 domestic units distributed nationwide in the United States. The affected software versions include specific build numbers such as 2.5.1.89, 3.0.0.251, 3.5.0.16, 3.5.1.6, 4.0.0.14, 4.0.1.4, 4.0.2.9, and 4.0.3.4.

The recall was initiated because the manufacturer became aware of an issue with dose calculation for some imported VMAT plans where control points are defined with wide gantry angle spacing. RayStation is a software system designed for treatment planning and analysis of radiation therapy, providing treatment unit set-up parameters and estimates of dose distributions.

The intended users of this software are clinically qualified radiation therapy staff trained in using the system. The source text does not specify further instructions for consumers or healthcare providers beyond the identification of the affected software versions and the nature of the defect.
