 ==== System Availability and Data Integrity ====
 The decimal3D App is installed on a standard Apple iPad and uses the Structure Sensor by Occipital. These off-the-shelf hardware components are covered by manufacture warranties, which can be extended to ensure continuous support and service for all components of the decimal3D system. All system data is stored locally on the iPad using secure encryption technology. As this application stores patient protected health information (PHI), clinics should secure the iPad following their internal Mobile Device protection policies to ensure protection of patient data and maintain HIPAA compliance. Remote tracking and lockout software is highly recommended to ensure the iPad data can be locked, deleted, and recovered in the event an iPad is lost or stolen.
+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 the treatment device information on its servers for the time period required by the US FDA and users may request this information, if necessary, in the event of local data loss. AS such, users should take care to digitize and place orders in a timely fashion and transfer any critical patient notes recorded in decimal3D to the appropriate patient record database on a regular basis.

 decimal3D will contain sensitive patient information that is protected under various governmental regulations, therefore users must ensure they adequately follow all appropriate and applicable rules regarding how, where, and when their staff may access the application and its data. Since all application and data access requires user login credentials, it is important that site administrators implement a strong password policy and that all users understand the importance of maintaining secrecy of their password (i.e. passwords should never be shared among more than one user). It is these user credentials that protect the system and its data from unauthorized access and replication. Please note that in addition to the iPad passcode or biometric access protections, decimal3D requires a separate user-specific login to ensure that all PHI is protected by non-shared access account credentials.
+==== System Calibration ====
-==== Known Limitations ====
+The decimal3D application relies on both the Structure Sensor and built-in iPad color camera. Proper operation of the decimal3D App requires that these two components be properly calibrated to ensure accurate alignment of scanned image colorization. A calibrator app has been provided with your iPad and the system is shipped pre-calibrated. However, part of the regular maintenance of the decimal3D application is for users to verify and adjust the calibration every 6 months OR anytime the Structure Sensor is removed from the iPad OR anytime the system is subjected to an impact (e.g. fall or drop) that may have jarred or shifted the Structure Sensor. The calibration procedure is simple and the provided calibrator app walks users through adjusting and testing the system's calibration.
+===== Known Limitations =====
-Below are listed the known application limitations, defects, or inconsistencies, organized by category.
+Below are listed the known application limitations, defects, or inconsistencies.
-=== General ===
   - Treatment position information (e.g. isocenter, gantry angle, couch angle, collimator angle) is not available at this time as there is no sufficient link between the scanner coordinate and treatment machine coordinate systems
   - Site information including Machine and Address Settings cannot be edited from decimal3D (these can be edited using .decimal's p.d software available on Windows computers)
   - 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, which can be accessed from any device or computer)
+  - Once a scan has been created its name cannot be edited (scan names are for convenience only and are used elsewhere in the application)
+  - Once a beam has been created its name cannot be edited (beam names are used within the cutout engraving, therefore if an appropriate name was used, we recommend that you create a new beam with the desired name, using the same parameters, and then delete the wrongly named beam)
