What the company is doing

Elekta sent an "IMPORTANT FIELD SAFETY NOTICE" dated December 2012 to all affected customers. The letter identifies the product, problem, and the actions to be taken by the customers. The IFSN informs the user in the TPS, to give the different volumes different structure names. After importing the patient data set from the TPS, make sure that the structure contours are correct. Users are requested to return the signed acknowledgement. Contact your local Elekta office for questions regarding this notice.
