ProBeam Proton Therapy System Recalled for Treatment History Data Loss
Varian Medical Systems is recalling ProBeam Proton Therapy Systems because the Treatment Control and Monitoring application may fail to send treatment history records to the ARIA database.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a data transmission failure (documentation issue) rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling/documentation errors or low-risk issues.
Plain-English summary
Varian Medical Systems Particle Therapy GmbH is recalling the ProBeam Proton Therapy System (HGA and HFB) in the United States. The recall is limited to units in California with serial codes HFB0031, HGA0032, HGA0033, HGA0034, and HFB0035.
The recall is due to an anomaly where the Treatment Control and Monitoring application could fail to send treatment history records to the ARIA database under certain conditions. This issue affects the documentation of treatment history rather than the delivery of radiation itself.
Healthcare facilities using these specific units should contact Varian Medical Systems for further instructions on how to address the data transmission issue.
