scope:

This International Standard applies to the design and manufacture and some installation aspects of a RECORD AND VERIFY SYSTEM (RVS) for use in RADIOTHERAPY in human medical practice that

a) provides, defines, or displays treatment machine set up data; imports data either through input by the OPERATOR or directly from other devices,

b) may control the ability of that equipment to operate;

c) records data of all TREATMENT sessions; and d) is intended to be:

1) for NORMAL USE, under the authority of appropriately licensed or QUALIFIED PERSONS, by OPERATORS having the required skills and training;

2) maintained in accordance with the recommendations given in the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE; and

3) used within the environmental and electrical supply conditions specified in the technical description.

This standard does not address dynamic beam deliveries. NOTE This may be addressed in a future version of this standard.

It does, however, address certain specific aspects of the connection of the RVS to a network or to other radiotherapy equipment, and the communication protocol to be used.
