The investigation was completed by conducting a thorough evaluation of the product and the reported information.The issue was determined to be a defect in the product.It was ascertained that in the localisation trend review, it is possible to end up with two different "current" shift values for the same site.If the user were to randomly pick the incorrect shift, there could be a larger than accounted for discrepancy between the planned and delivered dose.This could be associated with a non-negligible degradation of plan quality.If the error was not detected it could result in non-serious injury.For the problem to occur, the localisation trend review (ltr) window would have to be opened concurrently for the same patient by two separate users.In addition the users would have to perform localisation edits for the same prescription.Ltr is not connected to cma (couch move assist) and therefore would not be used to alter current treatment, but could influence upcoming treatments.However, the patient would be imaged before any subsequent treatments and any discrepancies would be detected and investigated.Also, only one "current" shift value should be returned.When two "current" values are returned, this would prompt investigation by the user.The probability of this occurring would be implausible.No patients were mistreated.
