Manufacturer Reason for Recall | In certain cases, one of the four collimator locking mechanisms that attach the collimator to the head may work itself free if collimator exchange has not been performed for an extended period of time. This situation, if neglected, could eventually cause the locking mechanism to unlock itself. |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Other |
Action | Customer letter is being sent to all customers who have an affected system. The letter alerts customers of the potential release of the locking mechanism and requires a Weekly Collimator Exchange Procedure to avoid release of the locking latch until the permanent solution is made available. |
