ACCELERATOR QA
The QA BeamChecker™ is a reliable and uncomplicated device for daily QA testing of a linac. With wire-free technology, integrated build-up and automatic determination of energy, technicians can quickly and easily complete daily QA procedures.
WIRE-FREE TECHNOLOGY
Simplifies set-up and allows technicians to quickly complete daily QA procedures. No cables means less clutter in the accelerator room, no cable replacement costs and a safer work environment ... no accidental tripping or pulling the instrument off of the couch.
AUTOMATIC ENERGY DETECTION AND RESET
The QA BeamChecker automatically detects the energy type and simultaneously determines beam constancy, flatness and symmetry. It then re-arms itself for the next treatment within 10 seconds.
INTEGRATED BUILD-UP
Build-up for all energies is integrated into the device, eliminating the need to enter the vault between measurements.
Features and Benefits
Data Storage
- Approximately one month’s worth of data can be stored on the QA BeamChecker before downloading is required, although this may be done at any time.
Unique Flip Ability
- Switch between photons and electrons quickly and easily with the push of a button and a flip of the device. Because build-up is integral to the QA BeamChecker, external buildup is not required.
Convenient Storage Cradle
- Cradle provides battery charging and data transfer while the QA BeamChecker is not in use. The QA BeamChecker can also be connected directly with standard cables.
Large-High Contrast Display
- Large brightly lit display characters, easily visible from the patient monitor, rotate depending on which side of the QA BeamChecker is chosen
Communication Software
- Stored data has a time and date stamp
- Data can be viewed as a graph or table, exported to a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft® Excel and easily printed for archiving or validation purposes
- Real-time operation is available for added versatility. In this mode the QA BeamChecker is controlled via the software for immediate comparison of current measurements to baseline. Connection to a computer is required for this application.
