RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER
Varian Medical Systems, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, by letter on September 26, 2007.
Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON
Erroneously Resetting: RPM System version 1.7.3, software failure can occur
that affects the gated radiotherapy treatment when phase-based gating is used.
RPM 1.7 erroneously resets the phase-based gating thresholds to system default
during the treatment session, if the user accesses the Session options during
the treatment session. This can lead to difference between the planned and
delivered dose distribution for the treatment fraction accepted.

RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER
Recalling Firm: GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, by letter on November 9, 2007.
Manufacturer: GE Medical Systems, SCS, Buc Cedex, France. Firm initiated recall
is ongoing.
REASON
Frozen Image Problems: During an acquisition (fluoro and/or record), there have
been cases reported where an image became "frozen" on the DL (digital
leader acquisition system) live monitor screen. In such cases, the system continued
to send out X-rays without reporting an error message. The result was that the
live imaging screen displayed an older "frozen" image until the operator
released the pedal. During an intervention, an operator could be misled to believe
that the "frozen" image is instead a live dynamic image. This translates
to an inability to see/control stent, endo-prosthesis placement, glue injection,
or other device placement during an intervention and thus an increased patient
risk of catheter, guidewire, glue an/or device misplacement.
