When the cosmetic linac cover (the 'nose' cover) is reattached to the linac after removal the rotating latches that secure the cover may not be properly engaged with the connection pins on the linac. if the latches are not fully engaged the linac cover can become loose and may unexpectedly drop off the linac. if a patient treatment is initiated while the cover is loose there is potential for it to contact the patient and lead to injury depending on the position and height of the linac at that time.
