H6 updated: h10 updated: the investigation found that a user/s had performed qa on a patient.The reference ct field was created so that they could obtain more anatomy on the image and the ct reference setup was 8cm inferior to the treatment isocenter.For the full course of treatment (28 fractions) the user/s imaged the daily cone beam ct but did not shift the patient 8cm superior when the actual treatment was delivered.The user/s did not realise this until the patient had completed treatment.For mosaiq for elekta linacs there is no requirement that the isocenter values match between ct and treatment fields or site setup definition/verification and treatment field definition/verification.For elekta machines, fields with different isocenters are allowed to be scheduled and treated in the same session.A warning is not expected if fields have different isocenters at the time of treatment whether this includes a ct field or not.The root cause is determined as use error as the user is expected to align the patient with the iso center to the machine that is delivering treatment through various clinical practises.Mosaiq did not have any malfunction and is working as intended.Due to a use error a geographic miss of 8 cm occurred.Based upon the information available the error affected all fractions and elekta physics have assessed this would be considered serious mistreatment.Considerations and information for users to prevent such use errors are already included within the instructions for use for mosaiq.
