- | |||
- | The Astroid Planning App is an interactive end user application that leverages the existing .decimal Astroid Dosimetry App library [FDA 510(k) K150547] of functions (accessed through the Thinknode® cloud services framework) for device creation, dose calculation, | ||

==== System Availability and Data Integrity ==== | ==== System Availability and Data Integrity ==== | ||
- | As with any cloud based application there is always concern with system availability | + | The decimal3D App is installed on a standard Apple iPad and uses the Structure Sensor Mark II by Occipital. These off-the-shelf hardware components are covered by manufacture warranties, which can be extended |
- | Since data integrity is such a critical feature for application such as this, the Astroid Planning App automatically saves both the state of the application | + | It should be noted however, that decimal3D nor its host iPad should be used as the sole location to store critical patient treatment record information. As a mobile device, iPads can be prone to potential loss or damage. Once an order has been placed however, .decimal securely stores |

- | ==== Data Validation and Limits ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Users are responsible for inputting a lot of data into the Astroid Planning App to develop clinical treatment plans. In the course of entering such data, there are opportunities for users to enter incorrect information. Although users are responsible for checking for such errors before clinical treatment, Astroid does provide some assistance in ensuring data limitations are met by a plan. Machine energy (range) limits, gantry angles, patient support (couch) angles, snout extensions, as well as shifter and aperture sizes and availability are all explicitly limited to user configured levels within the Astroid Planning App controls. Additionally, | + | |

- | ==== Known Limitations ==== | + | The decimal3D application provides multiple ways to export patient data for other systems. Ordered treatment devices may be exported to R&V as well as other external software using the DICOM share functionality on a selected scan. This functionality requires a hostname and port to be provided in the Advanced Settings screen of the application. |

+ | - User passwords cannot be changed within the decimal3D App (please log in to direct.dotdecimal.com to change your password or contact .decimal customer service to request a password reset) | ||
+ | - Patient Databases are stored locally on each iPad, so facilities with more than one iPad will not be able to access all patient records from each iPad (note: once an Order is place however, the order information is available via direct.dotdecimal.com, | ||
+ | - Scans are able to be deleted even if they contain contours and beams, so care should be exercised whenever deleting scans as all data associated with that scan will also be deleted | ||
+ | - Very bright indoor lighting can interfere with scanning, especially on dark or shiny surfaces; if you experience difficulty with the scanner recognizing a surface, try scanning in a lower light condition | ||
