-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.+The decimal3D App is installed on a standard Apple iPad and uses the Structure Sensor Mark II by Occipital.

 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. 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.

 ==== System Calibration ==== ==== System Calibration ====
  
-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.+The decimal3D application relies on both the Structure Sensor Mark II and built-in iPad color camera.

 ===== Known Limitations ===== ===== Known Limitations =====
  
 Below are listed the known application limitations, defects, or inconsistencies. Below are listed the known application limitations, defects, or inconsistencies.
  
-  - 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)   - 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)   - 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)   - 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) +  - 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 
-  - Once a beam has been created its name cannot be edited (beam names are used within the cutout engravingtherefore if an appropriate name was used, we recommend that you create a new beam with the desired nameusing the same parameters, and then delete the wrongly named beam)+  - Very bright indoor lighting can interfere with scanningespecially on dark or shiny surfaces; if you experience difficulty with the scanner recognizing a surfacetry scanning in a lower light condition
