# Major Recall Alert: Safety Concerns for Elekta Infinity, Elekta Synergy, Harmony, and Versa HD Devices
Elekta, a renowned provider of advanced radiotherapy and radiosurgery solutions, has issued a recall for select medical devices, including the **Elekta Infinity, Elekta Synergy, Harmony, and Versa HD** systems. The recall stems from a critical safety concern regarding the **modulator discharge rod**, which poses a potential hazard to field service engineers during maintenance or servicing. If you’re affiliated with a facility or organization that uses these systems, it’s crucial to understand the severity of this recall and take immediate action to safeguard all personnel.
## Why This Recall is Important
The safety of healthcare technology, particularly equipment used in life-saving treatments, is paramount. In this instance, Elekta discovered that the **supplier had been incorrectly assembling the crimp within the crimping tool**, installing it in reverse.

Although **not all devices have this reversed crimp issue**, Elekta reported that defective parts were found in their stock. Early identification of this safety flaw underscores the importance of routine inspections and proactive recalls in maintaining safety standards.
