QA BEAMCHECKER™ PLUS 79
What are the differences between Wire-Free and Real-Time Operation modes?
See the Routine Measurements section of this manual for more information.
Can I measure Baselines and use Real-Time Operation and Physics modes wirelessly?
Yes. While a serial cable will still need to be run from the PC into the treatment vault, the
optional Bluetooth Adapter Kit (REF 70504) can supply a wireless connection within the vault
only, between this cable and the QA BeamChecker Plus. Contact Standard Imaging for pricing
and purchasing information.
How much data can be stored on the QA BeamChecker Plus before I need to transfer to the PC?
The internal memory within the QA BeamChecker Plus can store up 512 measurement points
before a transfer is necessary. The number of energies and rooms used will dictate how much
time this equals. We recommend transferring this data once per week, or as often as is
convenient, because once measurements are transferred to the PC, they can be easily backed
up.
I know my linear accelerator is providing a bit “over” or “under” the intended dose. Can I assign offsets to my
baseline to account for this difference in my daily measurements?
No. The QA BeamChecker Plus is designed to perform daily measurements relative to a raw
measurement baseline. It is not designed for absolute dosimetry. If a known, consistent offset
has developed, creating a new baseline to account for this difference is recommended. The QA
BeamChecker Plus will only determine deviations from measured baselines, not a predefined
zero point.
Does the QA BeamChecker Plus support 4 or 5 MeV electron beams?
No. Due to the low signal strength of 4 and 5 MeV, and the amount of buildup material above
the chambers, these energies are not supported by the QA BeamChecker Plus.
17 Maintenance
Exterior cleaning of the device can be done with a soft brush and a cloth. Gently brush all
surfaces to remove dirt and dust. Be especially careful that this is an external cleaning only and
do not permit any liquid to seep into the QA BeamChecker Plus in any manner during
cleaning.
There are no user serviceable parts on the QA BeamChecker Plus. The warranty will become
void if the QA BeamChecker Plus is disassembled.
If assistance is desired in the proper disposal of this product (including accessories and
components), after its useful life, please return to Standard Imaging.
