1.1 Scope
This International Standard applies to the design and manufacture and some installation aspects of a record and verify system (rvs) for use in radiotherapy in human medical practice that
-
a) provides, defines, or displays treatment machine set up data; imports data either through input by the operator or directly from other devices,
-
b) may control the ability of that equipment to operate;
-
c) records data of all treatment sessions; and
-
d) is intended to be:
-
1) for normal use, under the authority of appropriately licensed or qualified persons, by operators having the required skills and training;
-
2) maintained in accordance with the recommendations given in the instructions for use; and
-
3) used within the environmental and electrical supply conditions specified in the technical description.
-
This standard does not address dynamic beam deliveries.
NOTE This may be addressed in a future version of this standard.
It does, however, address certain specific aspects of the connection of the RVS to a network or to other radiotherapy equipment, and the communication protocol to be used.
