ARTG Number: 181846
Recall Action Level Hospital
Recall Action Classification Class II
Recall Action Commencement Date 18/08/2016
Responsible Entity Siemens Healthcare Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue Siemens are advising users regarding a bundled update of the syngo RT Oncologist software. The update addresses the following issues:

- Incorrect offset calculation in Adaptive targeting Option. In rare cases, an identical Region of Interest (ROI) label for the planning isocenter and the treatment isocenter may have been randomly generated during image processing. In this case the offset calculation in Adaptive Targeting during image review has been incorrect.

- Problems with structure name in case of using structure operation functionality in Segmentation. In special scenarios within the Structure Operation functionality of the Segmentation tab, the system did not store the selected name from the list of predefined names when creating a new structure. After reloading the data, the system replaced the name of this structure by the name of the former last deleted structure.

There have been no reports of injuries as a result of the reported issues.
