The supplied Field Safety Notice serves to reiterate the importance of a procedure to check for the error already present in the IFU, previously communicated to customers (TGA Ref: RC-2014-RN-00927-1). Users should continue to follow the recommended daily QA checks detailed in the IFU, also present in the previous Field Safety Notice, until the software upgrade is released.

Please return the form to Elekta even if you no longer have the affected units at your site. Elekta will release Integrity™ R4.0.0, which will identify positional errors over 5 mm if a sensor has failed. Upgrades in the field are expected to start in the first half of 2018. Elekta will contact users to plan and schedule this upgrade.
