Overview

General Information
The ExacTrac system shall only be installed in a bunker for medical radiotherapy accelerators
that has a stable foundation. Keep vibrations to a minimum since they influence the accuracy of
the tracking system.
Exposure to high neutron radiation can lead to recurring malfunction and permanent
damage to computer hardware and electronic components. For sites where patients will be
treated with energies 10 MV or higher, do not place the computer cabinet in the treatment
room as it is not designed for exposure to high neutron radiation.
The system must not be exposed to humid environment. Humidity can destroy the system
and can lead to short circuits.
The ExacTrac system is not designed for use in areas where there is a danger of explosion.
Moreover, the system must not be placed close to flammable materials, such as volatile
anesthetics, detergents or endogenous gases. Observe local regulations to avoid explosive gas
mixtures forming during usage and cleaning.
Ensure that the tracking volume of the ExacTrac infrared camera system is not reduced/modified
by other devices after the ExacTrac system has been accepted.
Do not install the ceiling mount and device mount in the direct airflow of an air conditioning or
heating system.
Do not install any of the electronic components described in this site planning manual
(e.g., monitors, cabinets, warning lights, distribution boxes) in the area of the linac's
primary beam.
