External Beam Quality Assurance Equipment

Implementation of TG 51in the USA, requiring absorbed dose to water calibration factors, presents the need for a new set of water phantoms and ion chamber calibrations. SeeDOS has a variety of calibration systems available for these new applications equally applicable in Europe and the rest of the world.

As new protocols come along, SeeDOS is meeting the challenge of providing the proper tools, at reasonable cost, to make the transition smooth and accurate. We offer a complete TG-51 Water Calibration System or any of the separate components needed to follow the new guidelines.

Water Phantom for TG51 with Depth Positioning Assembly

The Model WP-3840 is a water Phantom with a convenient manual ion chamber depth positioning assembly. The water tank is constructed of 3/8" acrylic and provided with side mounted handles, a drain and a ball valve. The outstanding feature is the depth positioning assembly that is unique in construction and operation. The ion chamber holder Teflon block slides on two stainless steel rods and is driven by a brass lead screw. One turn of the hand crank quickly and accurately moves the chamber holder block 1mm. A mechanical counter with push-button reset capability indicates depth to the nearest 0.1mm.

The horizontal off-centre positioning is achieved by sliding the depth positioning assembly along the edge of the water tank to the desired position as indicated on the horizontal scale mounted on the side of the tank. The depth positioning assembly may be easily retro-fitted with an the Model RMD-100-5 Remote Motor Drive that allows chamber depth positioning from a remote location. The depth is indicated by a digital LCD display with push-button zeroing, adding convenience and significant time saving to your monthly routine.

Model RMD-100-5 Remote Motor Drive

With the Model RMD-100-5 Remote Motor Drive it is now possible to convert the manual crank mechanism of the WP-3840 depth positioning assembly to allow ion chamber positioning from outside of the treatment room, adding convenience and significant time saving to your monthly routine.

Installation is easy, since it makes use of existing threaded holes for mounting the motor drive assembly to the depth positioning assembly. Although the installation includes adding two drive sprockets, the hand crank is reinstalled on the motor shaft, thereby retaining the original manual positioning and mechanical counter readout functions.

The control/display module is connected to the drive motor by a 15-meter cable for complete control of chamber depth from the accelerator console. Its six-digit liquid crystal display indicates the depth position in units of centimetres to 0.001cm. The RUN switch operates the motor drive in a continuous mode, while the JOG switch provides intermittent operation. Both switches control the motor drive in up/down directions, indicated on display as + and – respectively.

Specifications Model RMD-100-5
 
  •  Display: 6-digit liquid crystal display with +/- indicators corresponding to up/down, and decimal point
  •  Accuracy: depth displayed to 0.001cm (depth measured to 0.005cm)
  •  Controls: bi-directional continuous (RUN) and intermittent (JOG), display reset switch to establish reference position, on/off switch
  •  Cable: controller to motor: 15m (50ft), PVC-jacketed, multi-conductor cable
  •  Power: 120/240 VAC, 50/60Hz
  •  Dimensions: 19.7 cm x 15.2 cm x 7m, (7.75 in x 6 in x 2.75 in)
  •  Weight: 3 kg(6.6 kg) including controller, motor & mounting assembly, and cable
  •  Motor: 12VDC, reversible, variable speed, 160 rpm @ 12VDC
