Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 During ExacTrac Robotics installation on the Varian Exact Couch, the couch height position indication is re-calibrated to read out the correct positions. This re-calibration could cause the eventual failure of the vertical lift mechanism of the couch, which might result in patient injury or death.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Other
Action BrainLab issued a Product Notification Letter to the hospitals on 6/2/06 to advise the users not to lower the couch below 50 cm, and sent a second letter to the users on 6/7/06, informing them that BrainLab would remove the ExacTrac Robotics from the Exact Couch and re-calibrate the couch to restore the software limit switch. The Robotics will be re-installed once a permanent solution is available.
