Reason for recall
QFix has advised Mevion Medical Systems that they are identifying unauthorized combinations of QFix Couch Tops with non-QFix devices in clinical use. The kVue Oen Touch latch consists of a precision latch mechanism that can be damaged when used with incompatible (third-party) accessories. This can create unsafe conditions for use and may compromise the subsequent use of any kVue inserts, whether authorized or not. Use of unauthorized or unvalidated inserts may lead to an incorrect patient treatment or physical injury.
