Why it was recalled

Varian has identified an anomaly with the Eclipse Treatment Planning where an outdated assigned Hounsfield Unit [HU] value can be used for dose calculation when the clock on the Eclipse Client Workstation is not synchronized with the Database/System Server. Treatment of the patient using these values can therefore lead to under or over-dose.

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