CAUTIONS AND NOTES
CAUTION: Only qualified/trained personnel should operate or service this unit.
CAUTION: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION: Do not store high activity radioactive samples in the CRC
®
-25R
Chamber(s). The Chamber is carefully designed for accurate and precise
measurements of high activity radioactive materials. It was not designed
to function as a long term storage vessel. Prolonged storage of high
activity radioactive samples in the Chamber may cause premature failure
of the unit.
CAUTION: In order to obtain a correct reading for a Test Source (Standard Source)
Vial, the supplied liner and dipper must be used to achieve the correct
geometry. The CRC
®
-25R is not designed to use syringe Test Sources in
any application.
CAUTION: Capintec, Inc. does not provide the calibration number for any type of
Brachytherapy source. The user should have the source calibrated by a
regional Accredited Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory (ADCL) site or
obtain a calibrated source from the manufacturer and perform your own
in-house calibration (All Brachytherapy sources used in IVBT
applications must be calibrated in an ADCL facility).
CAUTION: In order to obtain a correct reading for any Brachytherapy sources
including HDR & LDR, use the appropriate source holder for the source
type being measured to achieve the correct geometry. (e.g. I125 Seed
Holder, Ir192 Ribbon Holder, etc). When making a measurement, use
the same source holder that was used in determining the calibration
number. Verify that the liner has been removed from the chamber before
making the measurement. If additional information is needed, contact
Capintec, Inc. for further assistance.
CAUTION: In order to obtain a correct reading for any Brachytherapy sources used
in IVBT, use the appropriate source holder (Note that IVBT source
holders are individually serialized) for the source type being measured to
achieve the correct geometry. (e.g. Novoste Seed Holder). When making
a measurement, use the same source holder (same serial number) that
was used in determining the calibration number. Verify that the liner has
been removed from the chamber before making the measurement. If
additional information is needed, contact Capintec, Inc. for further
assistance.
CAUTION: IVBT source calibration is only to verify source output and is not to be
used in treatment planning.
