Plain-English summary
Elekta Inc. is recalling specific software builds of the Monaco RTP System, a radiation therapy planning system used to calculate treatment doses for cancer patients. The affected software builds are 5.40.00, 5.40.01, 5.40.02, and 5.51.10.
A software defect has been identified in these builds. If a treatment couch (patient support) is removed while a treatment plan is loaded into the system, and the couch is then added back when the plan is unloaded, the system may calculate radiation doses with the couch improperly assigned to the radiation beams. This could result in inaccurate dose calculations.
The Monaco RTP System has been distributed in the United States in Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. International distribution includes Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
