Reason for recall
A report and investigation determined that the set screws, which were part of the retrofit of a previous recall were incorrectly engaged which allowed rotation and subsequent descent of the assembly.

The letter identified the affected product and the description of the potential problem. Customers were asked to inspect their Synchrony System by following the instructions provided. If the lower extension feels loose, customers should contact Accuray Customer Support immediately to schedule service of the system. The letter also states that all affected systems will be inspected and corrected, if necessary by Accuray to prevent the potential problem.
