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: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: a collimator collision with a patient is a physical hazard, and the record reports no injuries.

Plain-English summary

ZAP-X Radiosurgery Systems, model 300150, are being recalled for a software defect involving proximity error handling.

If the system triggers a proximity error message during a long gantry move of more than 180 degrees, and a further proximity error message occurs after the automatic reduction of speed, a software defect could potentially lead the collimator to collide with the patient's shoulders or the patient table.

The recall covers 17 units carrying UDI-DI 00860183001504, distributed worldwide including in Florida, Colorado, New Jersey and New York, and to countries including Germany and France. The FDA has classified the action as Class II.
