Omitting Outlier Readings
In the Average dose reading mode (in the Set Operation Parameters step of both Generic and Patient
Dosimetry), you can omit outlier, or irregular, measurements, while a reading session is in progress.
All acquired readings have their Used check box selected by default. To omit an Outlier Reading, clear
the check box next to that individual reading. The reported dose, which dynamically updates as
readings are acquired, is automatically recomputed whenever any individual reading’s Used status
changes.
Background Correction
Dosimeters may be exposed to a background dose from to natural background radiation during
transportation or storage or exposure to radiation from other sources in the medical environment.
The dose calculation formula on the Reading tab corrects for this additional dose. The dose is
determined using the Dosimeter Verification Pre-Assignment function. To set the value, use the
instructions in Chapter 5.
To turn on this feature, complete the following steps:
STEP 1: Log on to the microSTARii application (all three default profiles have the necessary
permissions).
STEP 2: Navigate to the Configuration tab.
STEP 3: Select the check box next to Use Dosimeter Background Correction.
STEP 4: Click the Save button to commit the changes.
NOTE: Enabling this setting automatically enables the Force Dosimeter Preassignment Verification
compliance check. (See section 4.2.5 System Compliance Checks for more information.)
