Why it was recalled

Due to physical limitations of the treatment machine, the maximum field opening for Siemens Virtual Wedge fields recommended by the LINAC vendor will be more restricted in the wedged direction than the maximum field opening without a wedge. Delivering a larger field opening with a virtual wedge will not result in a wedged field shape over the entire field. Instead, a high dose plateau region will be the result at the toe side of the field beyond the recommended field size.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
