Responsible Entity Siemens Healthcare Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue syngo RT Therapist is specified in a way that it will always use the plan unique identifier (UID provided by OIS MOSAIQ. If a plan has changed many times and one of the previous changes is reverted, MOSAIQ will apply the UID of the previous plan, before the change has been made in the past. In this case, from a treatment point of view MOSAIQ sends a previously used plan UID that may cause the RT Therapist to choose an out-dated treatment plan according to the plan UID provided by MOSAIQ. As a consequence all performed changes on RT Therapist, for example setup changes like added pauses or gating flags, will not be active. This behaviour might lead to a collision or a mistreatment.
Recall Action Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions Siemens has notified users that from a syngo RT Therapist software point of view, it is not possible to distinguish between correct and incorrect UID provided by MOSAIQ. Therefore no technical solution for this issue can be provided by Siemens. The “RT Therapist Release Notes for MOSAIQ” have been updated with the according information in chapter 10.1. This action has been closed out on 16 June 2017.
