Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

When using multiple isocenters (radiation treatment targets) within a single plan, in certain workflow conditions ExacTrac v.6.0.4 might move the patient to an unintended isocenter position, despite displaying the green "OK" icon. If this anomaly occurs and is not detected by the user, the radiation treatment dose at the linear accelerator may be delivered to the unintended target position.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
