Zap Surgical Systems, Inc. · The self-shielded ZAP-X® Radiosurgery System is a computer-controlled system for planning and delivering non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery for tumors, lesions and conditions in the brain, head, and neck when radiation treatment is indicated. The system is self-shielded for ionizing radiation, allowing it to be installed in a non-bunker environment. A linear accelerator mounted on a dual-gantry provides a therapeutic radiation source, and a kV imaging system is used to locate and track the treatment target throughout the treatment. · Class 2

    If the radiosurgery system triggers a proximity error message during a long gantry move (greater-than180 degrees), and a subsequent proximity error message occurs after the automatic reduction of speed, a software defect could potentially lead the collimator to collide with patient shoulders or the patient table.

  2. Jul 5, 2022Class IIOpen, Classified

    Software issue identified in cases of initial patient setup with large (greater-than-or-equal-to 1.5 degrees) rotational deviations, between digitally reconstructed radiographs, and pre-delivery X-ray images. In these cases the transitional alignment algorithm may incorrectly calculate the new treatment table offset values, leading to an incorrect position for the subsequent treatment isocenter.
