Important Field Safety Notice 200-01-103-081 was released July 8, 2016 for distribution to all customers with Digital Accelerators without XVI. It informs users of the specific product and version numbers affected by the issue. The modification involves an inspection and correction procedure. Should the inspection pass, the corrected in not required. All gantry base wheel bolts should be checked for presence and torque and should be replaced if found to be showing signs of fatigue. Elekta service is actively reaching out to affected customers in order to organize a time to implement the inspection and correction. The notice included an acknowledgment form to be returned.
