The Protura Software is intended to interface between record and verify systems, linear accelerator (Linac) software systems, and/or image guidance systems and the Protura Couch. The system is intended to support a treatment table and add pitch and roll to normal X, Y, Z and yaw motions to provide 6-degree axis movement. The product includes an interface between the treatment planning system and the treatment table to direct the table motion based on coordinates supplied. These products connect or support a treatment table by use of various mounting plates.

Why the product was recalled

When an error message remains displayed and is not cleared in the Protura software with the Elekta pedestal coordinates, moving the pedestal could cause the Protura software to not update with the pedestal location and buffers the pedestal movement history.
