    The following issues have been identified with this product:1. the current system design of software version 4.0.0.Xx379 does not prevent the system from scanning if the dose level exceeds a set upper dose limit for ct brain perfusion scanning, which previous versions did. however, the current version does have the dose check (nema xr-25) feature, which provides dose notifications and alerts, but it is possible for the user to disable dose check after entering their credentials and password 2. when service providers gain a remote connection to the scanner, the scanner does not notify the user that remote access of the system is in effect3. when the interventional biopsy protocol is used, the manual button is enabled on the ct control, but when the user presser the "go" button on the gantry, it may produce multiple scans4. the table and the gantry could get close enough to each other (<25mm apart) which poses the risk of 'pinching' a patient's or technologist's finger.

  • Causa
    Varian is notifying customers of an anomaly identified with the clinac, trilogy, novalis tx and unique jaw carriers. some jaw carriers were manufactured with the incorrect metal alloy, which can potentially cause the jaw carrier to crack. if both jaw carriers on the same x-jaw were to crack, the jaw would be able to move freely in the closed direction. in this case, the deviation of the jaw position will not be detected by the position readout interlock circuitry. treatment after such a failure occurs may lead to an under-dose of the intended target volume.
  • Acción
    Onsite inspection and replacement of jaw carriers. This action has been closed-out on 18/02/2016.
