Investigation of the issue determined this is a software defect.This issue is caused by the invalidation of only the last control point, instead of invalidating the entire beam, when only the stop angle of valid conformal arcs in the beam spread sheet is edited.A fix for this issue has already been implemented in the current software release.However, the issue would be identified during a review of the plan and secondary quality assurance checks in accordance with standard care prior to initiating treatment.There have only been 2 reported complaints of this issue out of 535 sites that have the involved software versions and no reports of patient harm.One of these 2 complaints was noted to have crashed, which does not generate a completed treatment plan.Therefore, only 1 complaint in 535 number of sites is used to determine the probability of the situation causing harm.It is the belief of the clinicians involved in this assessment that this risk is acceptable.Submission of a report does not constitute an admission that medical personnel, user facility, importer, distributor, manufacturer, or product caused or contributed to the event.
