 +Before commissioning it is required that an initial Acceptance Testing process is completed. This testing will ensure that the decimal eRT application functions properly within the installed clinical environment of the end users. This testing will utilize manufacturer supplied inputs, including beam models, as the goal is only to ensure proper system operation, not assess the accuracy or quality of user commissioning activities. As such, the Acceptance Testing, is a prerequisite to, not a replacement for commissioning and end-to-end testing. Details regarding Acceptance Testing can be found [[electronrt:instructions_for_use:acceptance_testing|here]].

-Since electron therapy generally requires frequent use of patient-specific devices that are often not fabricated in-house, there is a necessity to transmit device manufacturing parameters and information to .decimal servers to all for fabrication of the custom devices. In order to protect patient privacy, .decimal's proprietary order file format contains only the minimal data necessary to manufacture each requested device. .decimal values the privacy of patients and security of our customer's sensitive information and we believe the best safeguard to protect critical data is to ensure it doesn’t leave your facility. As such, no PHI, PII, or any sensitive customer billing/payment information is contained in the order files sent to .decimal.+Since electron therapy generally requires frequent use of patient-specific devices that are often not fabricated in-house, there is a necessity to transmit device manufacturing parameters and information to .decimal servers to all for fabrication of the custom devices.
