Mevion recalls S250i and S250 proton radiation treatment systems due to risk of missing treatment beam information during patient therapy, potentially causing harm.
Treatment beam information disappears on Treatment Console screen while beam delivery continues potential for harm to a patient could occur
Mevion is recalling its S250i and S250 proton radiation treatment systems because the treatment console may show disappearing beam information while delivering radiation, which could harm patients. This issue affects specific units with serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
The treatment console screen may lose critical beam information while radiation delivery continues, potentially causing incorrect treatment doses or harm to patients. This happens due to a software or hardware issue that fails to maintain proper display during therapy sessions.
Healthcare facilities using the Mevion S250i or S250 systems with the listed serial numbers are affected. Patients receiving proton radiation treatment with these systems are at risk if the beam information disappears during treatment.
Check for serial numbers starting with MEVION S250-0001 through MEVION S250-0008. The unique device identifiers (UDIs) listed in the recall include specific date codes that match the affected units.
