The hazard
The recall cites three issues: unintended ROI geometries in the Structure Definition module, an interoperability issue with Elekta regarding guard leaf settings, and SSD sometimes providing source-to-skin distance instead of source-to-surface distance. According to the record, these issues have not caused any patient mistreatment or other incidents to the best of the company's knowledge.
