    CAUTION: When using the Bluetooth® Adapter Kit, be careful lifting the unit when it is lying flat to avoid damage to both the adapter and QA BeamChecker Plus. If necessary, remove the adapter before moving the unit. CAUTION: The Bluetooth Adapter Kit will not communicate through the treatment vault wall, but because their signal is transmitted via RF, the cradle (with attached adapter) can be placed inside a cabinet or closet and still communicate effectively.

    9 Physics Mode The Physics Mode allows use of the QA BeamChecker Plus as a 5 channel chamber and electrometer array for taking real-time measurements. Because data collected is not associated with baselines or saved to the database file, this mode is ideal for experimental or customized measurements.

  • Page 51: About Synchronization And Database Relationship

    10 About Synchronization and Database Relationship 10.1 Introduction When a link is established between a QA BeamChecker Plus and a database file, they are considered to be “synchronized”. The relationship between the two is defined as the database being the master and the QA BeamChecker Plus being the slave.
  • Page 52 The left column shows the room, energy, and plan information that exists within the database, and the right column shows which information is stored within the QA BeamChecker Plus internal memory. By clicking either Yes or Synchronize, the values will be pushed from left to right and the main QA BeamChecker Plus software interface will be displayed.
  • Page 53: Using Other Accessories

    Take Advantage of the Synchronize Function A synchronization operation can be useful if using the QA BeamChecker Plus with more than one database. If using one QA BeamChecker Plus in any situation where more than the allowed 9 treatment rooms are required, multiple databases can be created, each with their own 9 treatment rooms.
  • Page 54 4. Connect the female interface adapter to the QA BeamChecker Plus where a serial cable is normally connected. No external power is required for most QA BeamChecker Plus units. NOTE: The initial manufactured quantities of the QA BeamChecker Plus (serial number Z071551 and below from early 2007) do not provide power to the Bluetooth adapter through the serial port.

    3. If required, connect the serial cable to the QA BeamChecker Plus to facilitate any Communication Software-based operations. Wire-Free mode measurements are recommended for gantry use to help avoid any incidents that could occur due to cable motion during gantry rotation.

Adjust the vertical height using the treatment couch until the horizontal side lasers line up to the fiducial alignment mark on the top end of the QA BeamChecker Plus facing the bore of the TomoTherapy unit. After the couch height is correct, align the lasers to the crosshair on the top surface of the unit.
  • Page 58: Serial To Usb Adapter

    A USB to Serial Cable Adapter (REF 70503) is provided by Standard Imaging for situations where the computer used with the QA BeamChecker Plus does not have a 9-pin Serial Port. In order to use this adapter, the appropriate driver must first be setup. A CD ROM containing the necessary driver software and instructions for setup is included with the adapter.

  • Page 60: Appendix B: Developing Tomotherapy And Dynamic 5 Channel Plans

    After the image is acquired, a treatment plan can be developed which targets the chambers within the QA BeamChecker Plus with a specific dose. Finally, this plan can be delivered to the QA BeamChecker Plus as a baseline and for routine measurement as explained in earlier sections of this user manual.
  • Page 61: Tomotherapy System Planning

    For TomoTherapy, it is advantageous to CT the QA BeamChecker Plus so that the center of the image is aligned with the BBs and allow the device to eventually be setup by initially setting the green lasers to these BBs. In this way, setup can be kept constant for both static and dynamic procedures.
  • Page 62: Dynamic 5 Channel Planning

    For efficiency, it is recommended that the dose is kept at a conventional fraction size to shorten delivery time. NOTE: When planning delivery, limiting dose to the chambers when the gantry is at 90° and 270° (± 10-15°) is recommended. The parallel plate geometry of the chambers may produce inconsistent results when delivery is provided parallel to the chamber surface.
