Reflexion has investigated the issue and determined the cause to be a code implementation defect in the treatment planning software.When reflexion's treatment planning system calculates dose, an accurate orientation for image, dose, primary beam, and scatter orientation (dose angles) is necessary.The scatter orientation in the dose calculation algorithm is incorrect for any patient orientation other than head first supine (hfs).The other patient orientations are head first prone (hfp), feet first prone (ffp), and feet first supine (ffs).Treatment plans for hfs are not affected.

Patient (b)(6) received 22 out of 25 planned fractions for prostate bed + lymph node on the reflexion x1 system, and 3 additional fractions on another system.During the course of his treatment, the patient received an overdose to the ptv of 7.8%, exceeding clinical treatment goals.There were associated overdoses to organs at risk (oars).The additional dose to these organs may raise the risk of short-term or long-term injury beyond known baseline risks of prostate bed radiotherapy.
