General Precautions
Warnings and Cautions alert users to dangerous conditions that can
occur if instructions in the manual are not obeyed. Warnings are
conditions that can cause injury to the operator, while Cautions can
cause damage to the device and internal electronics.
WARNING:
Proper use of this device depends on careful reading
of all instructions and labels.
WARNING:
Electrical shock hazard when connected to 300 V bias
supply. Do not disassemble the QA BeamChecker Plus.
WARNING:
Where applicable, Standard Imaging products are
designed to be used with the versions of common
radiation delivery devices, treatment planning
systems and other products or systems used in the
delivery of ionizing radiation, available at the time
the Standard Imaging product is released. Standard
Imaging does not assume responsibility, liability and/
or warrant against, problems with the use, reliability,
safety or effectiveness that arise due to the evolution,
updates or changes to these products or systems in
the future. It is the responsibility of the customer or
user to determine if the Standard Imaging product
can be properly used with these products or systems.
CAUTION:
This device should never be submerged in any liquid,
scrubbed with an abrasive cleaner, or be stored or
placed where liquids could be spilled or splashed
onto it.
CAUTION:
Do not drop, mishandle, or disassemble this device.
Refer all servicing to qualified individuals.
CAUTION:
Do not irradiate this device past the 20 x 20 cm field
label edge.
CAUTION:
Always use the QA BeamChecker Plus in the same
orientation during Baseline Setup, Wire-Free, or
Real-Time Operation Modes. Improper comparative
measurements and/or out of tolerance fault messages
will occur if used in a different orientation.
CAUTION:
To help ensure measurement reproducibility over time
and minimize possible backscatter effects from the
treatment couch, especially for low energy photons,
position the device in the same location on the treatment couch for every measurement.

CAUTION:
When using the Bluetooth® Adapter Kit, be careful
lifting the unit when it is laying 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.
CAUTION:
When using TomoTherapy® or Dynamic 5 Channel
modes, only the photon side of the QA BeamChecker
Plus should be used.
CAUTION:
When performing Baseline or Real-Time Operation
measurements, ensure the proper room is selected
to avoid overwriting or adding new data to the wrong
room.
CAUTION:
In Physics Mode, no measurement data is stored
within the database file. Data can only be saved by
utilizing the Export .csv function.
CAUTION:
It is recommended to avoid screwing the serial cable
into the unit and instead relying on the inherent pressure fit of the connection. If the cable catches on an
obstruction during gantry rotation, damage can occur
if the connector cannot pull free.
CAUTION:
Before upgrading to a new version of QA BeamChecker
Plus software, download any Wire-Free data to the
database.
CAUTION:
Use provided power supply or equivalent as identified
by Standard Imaging. Contact Standard Imaging for
additional information.
CAUTION:
To ensure long-term performance of the internal
battery, it is recommended to fully recharge the
QA BeamChecker Plus monthly.
