  • Action
    IBA Dosimetry sent an Field Safety Notice dated April 21, 2017. The letter informed the consignee of the issue and provided the following instruction: If a Stealth Chamber was used during commissioning of Linear Accelerator and Treatment Planning System, the consignee was asked to consider referenced deviations for larger field sizes (>20 x 20 cm) and higher energies (>60MV). They were also instructed to recheck the influence of the PDD deviation and insufficient clearance for 40 x 40 profile on their beam model and its clinical relevancy.
