Safety Measures Specific to the Use of the
Remote Positioning Controls
Make sure you read and understand the following warning messages before using
the remote positioning controls.
Use of the remote positioning controls from the Treatment Control Room (TCR)
means that the Radiation Therapy Technologist (RTT) is not in the near vicinity of the
patient and therefore may have less visibility on the exact position of the patient and
potential collisions. Therefore, two cameras in the Treatment Room capture images
that are displayed on two video screens in the Treatment Control Room.
WARNING When motion is performed from the Treatment Control Room (TCR)
during the treatment session, visually check to see on the video screens
in the TCR that no collision with the patient is imminent before
initiating motion. Also, continuously check the absence of collision
during motion.
Interrupt motion immediately in case of patient movement or
insufficient visibility on the video screens during motion.
WARNING Be careful to avoid collisions of the Patient Positioning System.
Collisions may damage the PPS. It may also deteriorate the robot
accuracy and performance.
In case of a collision, the robot must be calibrated.
CAUTION When performing actions from the Treatment Control Room, as a
Radiation Therapy Technologist, make sure that the means for audio
and video communication with the patient are available during
treatment positioning and delivery.
