What the classes mean

The FDA sorts every recall into one of three classes. The class is the whole story. It is also the part people skip.

ClassWhat the FDA is saying
Class IThere is a reasonable probability that using this will cause serious harm or death.
Class IIIt may cause temporary or reversible harm. Serious harm is unlikely.
Class IIIIt breaks a rule but is unlikely to hurt anyone. Often a labelling fault.

Class II is the bulk of every list here. That matters. A long list of Class II says something different from one Class I.

Checking whether it affects you

The lot or code number is what matters. Not the product name. A recall covers specific lots. Yours may not be one of them.

Check the code on your package against the report. The FDA keeps the current list at fda.gov/safety/recalls.

IBA Proton Therapy System - PROTEUS 235

Z-1497-2026  ·  Class II  ·  reported 2026-03-18  ·  Ongoing

Why it was recalled
It was identified that eh Universal Beam Triggering Interface (UBTI) is disabled in the Therapy Safety System (TSS) configuration. In this condition, the TSS does not interrupt the beam delivery if the Healthy Signal from an external gating device is lost. This may lead to a risk of mistreatment when external gating devices are used.

Z-0747-2022  ·  Class II  ·  reported 2022-03-16  ·  Ongoing

Why it was recalled
When resuming from a beam pause, the Proton Therapy System does not verify whether the beam range has not been manually modified during the pause and is still the prescribed one. Therefore, if an operator manually modified the range during a pause, there is a risk that a portion of the treatment beam after the resume is delivered with an error in range

Proteus 235; Version: PTS-8 versions before PTS-8.7.2

Z-0466-2022  ·  Class II  ·  reported 2022-01-19  ·  Terminated

Why it was recalled
Proton Therapy System (PTS) software can be started in the clinical environment (clinical user) while some processes are still running in the test environment (tcs user). Initiating the startup of the clinical processes in the environment is not prevented even if some processes of the test environment (tcs) are still running. It may lead to situations where the system is using test processes without notifying the clinical user. If the versions of the processes are different between both environments, this could have an impact on patient treatments.

Z-2773-2020  ·  Class II  ·  reported 2020-08-19  ·  Terminated

Why it was recalled
Signature from the user is necessary to proceed with specific actions in the Proton Therapy System (PTS). IBA became aware that the PTS does not accept user names with more than ten characters. It is an issue when the user has no other choice than resuming an aborted treatment field based on the overall delivered dose displayed on the Dose Counter Electronic Unit (DCEU). User s signature is required to perform this action. If the signature contains more than ten characters, the user will not be able to complete the aborted treatment field. An additional issue applies to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) centric sites and may increase the probability of not being able to complete an aborted treatment field. It is not possible, in a new session, to resume from a local partial archive if the Patient Positioning System (PPS) position has changed. If the user captures the PPS position at every session in the Oncology Information System (OIS) just after the setup process, the prescribed PPS position is changed for the next session in the OIS. This includes the partial continuation session. Therefore, when comparing the prescribed PPS position between OIS and local database, the PTS sees a...

Z-1477-2018  ·  Class II  ·  reported 2018-05-02  ·  Terminated

Why it was recalled
When switching from Pencil Beam Scanning treatment mode to Uniform Scanning treatment mode, the tuning setpoints of the scanning magnets are not always taken into account when the proton beam is requested. The mismatch between the setpoint and feedback leads to an error message. Depending on user action, two scenarios are possible: 1. The user resumes the treatment field without analyzing the cause for the error message. This may lead to under-irradiation. 2. The user reboots the Scanning Magnets Power Supply Electronic Unit. This may lead to delay in patient treatment and the patient may need to be re-aligned, which leads to an additional X-ray dose.

Read these counts with three things in mind

A firm with more recalls usually makes more products. A contract packer runs hundreds of lines. It will out-recall a company with one product whatever either does. This is not a safety ranking.

Most recalls here are voluntary. A firm found its own fault and pulled the stock. That is the system working. It lands in this database looking the same as a recall the FDA had to push for.

Terminated means the FDA considers the recall finished. It is not a verdict. It does not mean anyone was harmed.
