Reason for recall
Firm has identified Drug Library Management defects in the software: 1) DLM software does not allow user to create percentage dose rate or rate change values with certain limits, potentially resulting in over-delivery to patient. 2) An unauthorized user may modify and approve a drug library, potentially leading to incorrect program parameters being used for therapy.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
