Reason for recall

In TSM (Treatment Session Manager) Motion Monitoring workflows, under certain conditions there can be a mismatch between the contour data overlay with respect to the motion monitoring images of the monitored structure.

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.
