- | 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 |

==== 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 | + | The decimal3D application relies on both the Structure Sensor |

+ | ==== Patient Data Export ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
