The reported event may occur at healthcare facilities using at least 2 tomotherapy treatment delivery systems, when transferring a patient from one tomotherapy system machine to another under specific circumstances (patient transferred afteran error occurred during fraction loading and user shuts down the machine before the treatment is initiated).There has been nopatient death or serious injury.The root cause is an anomaly in software design: the unload fraction processed by the software did not require that unload shouldonly be permitted from the treatment machine where the fraction was originally downloaded.The following action is being implemented: software patch installation to correct the anomaly.During the investigation, it was initially determined that the root cause was the tomotherapy treatment delivery system with idms, however further investigation determined that the issue is with the precision treatment delivery system.
