Machine QA Solutions
DosimetrySunCHECK® Machine integrates all Machine QA — from Daily Output checks to Annual QA tasks, and everything in between — with visibility for all stakeholders.
Standardize Daily, Monthly, Annual QA
Ensure standardization among clinics and machines with shared tolerances. Apply ready-to-use, yet customizable, templates for efficient QA. No more spreadsheets!
Streamline Machine QA with Device Connectivity and Control
Automate data collection with direct device integration to Daily QA™ 3, IC PROFILER™ and IC PROFILER™-MR — no need for additional software and transfer of data. Complete your entire TG-142 and DIN QA easily within SunCHECK.
Browser-Based Access
Access Machine QA and results from any networked computer. One point of access drives efficiency and critical consistency across locations, machines and staff.
Automate Imaging, MLC and VMAT QA
Deliver QA beams and SunCHECK Machine automatically captures, processes and analyzes the images or log files. Results are stored and, if necessary, notifications are sent, based on pass/fail status.
“I can do three times as much work in half the time with SunCHECK Machine. The IC PROFILER integration is amazing. You put on a Quad Wedge and you’ve done four tests in one exposure — output, beam energy, profile constancy and MU.”
Hamilton Medical Center
IC PROFILER & Daily QA 3 Integration
With direct connectivity from IC PROFILER and Daily QA 3 to SunCHECK:
- Efficiently complete daily, monthly and annual QA – no manual data entry required.
- Deliver the test beam, then accept or reject results on your terms and timeframe.
Proactive Machine Analysis
With SunCHECK Machine, get ahead of your team’s asset management and compliance needs. Data trending tracks parameters approaching out-of-tolerance levels.
Report templates demonstrate compliance with accreditation bodies, and centralized storage makes report retrieval easy.
Get more efficient with automated Machine QA.
Centralized dashboard allows users and administrators to check that QA is successfully completed and on-time. Quickly review completed QA, and drill-down into results.
Pre-set templates are provided by modality, and support TG-142, DIN, or other daily, monthly and annual QA protocols.
“Set it and forget it” scheduling allows you to quickly see what tasks are coming due or are overdue, and helps you track all tasks easily.
MV-QA & kV-QA Phantoms
Support and enable image scaling, positioning offset, spatial resolution, contrast, uniformity and noise.
FS-QA Phantom
Perform field size QA and constancy testing with symmetric and asymmetric light field/radiation field coincidence, and jaw positioning, and flatness and symmetry for photon and electron beam profile constancy.
WL-QA Phantom
Perform isocenter QA through Winston-Lutz measurements, imaging and radiation field isocenter coincidence, cone-beam CT (re)positioning, end-to-end IGRT positioning, and 3D isocenter offset results.
Combine SunCHECK Machine with SunCHECK Patient for full automation.
Clatterbridge Cancer Centre
Liverpool England
Validate treatment delivery throughout the treatment process to enable more robust QA for SABR patients and better triage the most at-risk patients. At the same time, improve the workflow for image-based and templated Machine QA.
