in Standalone Mode Pausing and Stopping an Irradiation
|
When the beam is paused, you may:
Re-enter the TR and attend to the patient if necessary.
Resume the treatment.
End the treatment.
The Accelerator Operator located in the Main Control Room (MCR) can also pause
the beam.
The Accelerator Operator cannot resume beam delivery. Resuming the treatment
can only be initiated from the TCR.
The PTS can also invoke a beam pause if the beam characteristics move outside
specified tolerances or if Patient Positioning Devices (Patient Positioning System,
gantry ) motion is detected.
Resuming Irradiation After a Pause
The Radiation Therapy Technologist (RTT) can resume treatment by clicking Start
from the Actions panel of the T
REATMENT SCREEN. Beam line tuning that may be
required is embedded in the Start functionality.
Treatment is resumed without automatically tuning the beam line if:
The Treatment Room (TR) has not been entered.
The Treatment Control Room (TCR) master switch is in the ON position.
The Service switch is in the OFF position.
An emergency stop button has not been pressed.
As mentioned before, when needed, beam line tuning automatically occurs when
you click Start.
WARNING Emergency stop buttons shut off energy to most components in the
Proton Therapy System (PTS). However, the electrical power to some
components will not be interrupted, so be aware that electrical hazards
and faults (faulty parts made live or induced fire) may still be present.
