Ion Beam Applications recalls PROTEUS 235 proton therapy systems due to temporary collision detection deactivation. Affected units may require repair to prevent safety risks during patient treatment.
Temporary deactivation of collision detection for Forte Robotic Patient Positioning System occasionally experiences issues
Ion Beam Applications is recalling its PROTEUS 235 proton therapy systems because the Forte Robotic Patient Positioning System occasionally has issues with collision detection. This could lead to safety risks during patient treatments if not fixed.
The Forte Robotic Patient Positioning System may temporarily deactivate collision detection, which is critical for preventing accidents during patient treatments. This could allow the robot to move into unsafe positions without detecting obstacles.
Healthcare facilities using the PROTEUS 23:5 proton therapy systems are affected. Patients receiving treatments with these systems are at risk if the collision detection fails.
Check for the PROTEUS 235 system with the UDI-DI: (01)05404013801138 and specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice. The system is designed for proton beam treatment of tumors and other conditions.
