Elekta recalls specific medical radiation therapy systems (MRT 6001/6011) due to potential uncontrolled detector arm extension if microswitch is incorrectly set up. Affected units have serial numbers listed in the recall.
Elekta has identified that if the microswitch within the middle arm is incorrectly setup, there is a potential for an uncontrolled extension of iViewGT / XVI detector arms. When the detector arm is fully deployed there is no risk of uncontrolled extension.
Elekta is recalling certain medical radiation therapy systems (MRT 6001 and MRT 6011 models) because a microswitch error could cause detector arms to extend uncontrollably. This risk only exists when the arms are not fully deployed, but the system is designed to be safe when fully extended.
The microswitch in the middle arm may be incorrectly configured, which could cause the detector arms (iViewGT/XVI) to extend beyond their intended position. However, the system is designed to prevent uncontrolled extension when the detector arms are fully deployed.
Medical facilities using Elekta's MRT 6001 or MRT 6011 radiation therapy systems with the listed serial numbers are affected. Patients and staff at these facilities are at risk if the system malfunctions during treatment.
Check if your system has serial numbers listed in the recall (e.g., 152320, 105566, 152018, etc.). The product is a medical radiation therapy system sold under Elekta's brand.
Check your system's serial number against the list of affected units provided in the recall notice.
