  • Notas adicionales en la data
    The AdvantageSim MD program supports loading multiple images from one scan at a time, and the problem cited may lead to incorrect image labeling. According to the holder of the product registration in Brazil, if incorrectly labeled images are used in RTSS (Radio Therapy Structure Set) system, they are most likely to be rejected by the treatment planning system by radiation. If the RTSS system does not do this rejection, such non-phased data used for treatment planning may be confused with each other, causing errors in radiation treatment planning. The registry holder has announced that it has already initiated field action (IMF 80125 - Field Modification Instruction) for the installation of a new version of AdvantageSim MD 7.7 software, in order to correct the problem. The Technovigilance Unit is following up on this case.
  • Causa
    Whenever several non-phased series are simultaneously loaded, there is the possibility of being incorrectly labeled, resulting in incorrect data being presented in the displayed image.
  • Acción
    Recommended actions are as follows: (1) As a precautionary measure, the user must upload the non-phased series, one by one, in AdvantageSim MD; (2) Contact GE Healthcare do Brasil Ltda if it has not yet reported the problem.
