# Major Recall Alert: MOSAIQ Recalled Due to Baseline Shift Plan Transfer Issue in Combination with Anatomical Position Monitoring (APM)
Medical professionals and healthcare facilities using MOSAIQ software should take note of an urgent recall involving its use during Anatomical Position Monitoring (APM) in conjunction with Comprehensive Motion Management (CMM) unity treatment delivery. The issue arises when a baseline shift (BLS) plan fails to load correctly in certain situations, potentially leading to the original beams being delivered without the new BLS applied. This poses significant risks and warrants immediate action.
In this blog, we’ll outline the key details of this recall, why it matters, and steps you (or your organization) should take to ensure safety.
## Why This Recall is Important
Recalls like this one have critical implications for healthcare professionals and the patients they serve. The MOSAIQ software error could result in treatments being delivered incorrectly, which compromises the overall safety and effectiveness of care. Here's why this recall must be addressed immediately:
- **Patient Safety at Risk**: Delivering the original beams without the updated baseline shift plan could lead to unintended treatment inaccuracies.
- **Precision is Critical**: In CMM unity treatment delivery, real-time positioning data is essential to ensure accurate targeting. Incorrect plan loading undermines this precision.
- **Reputation and Compliance**: Hospitals and clinics relying on MOSAIQ for treatment planning and delivery must act swiftly to maintain safe practices and adhere to regulatory standards.
This recall emphasizes the importance of resolving software errors in critical healthcare operations.
## Details of the Recall
Here’s a summary of the key points regarding the MOSAIQ recall:
