Activities
  1. To define “closed” and “black box” systems in a radiation oncology setting and to provide examples of self-integrated or pre-configured delivery devices, test procedures or data that fall into these categories.
  2. To provide guidance on the critical evaluation and independent validation of these types of systems. This includes but is not limited to independently validating:
    • Pre-configured devices, tools, and test procedures developed by vendors and provided to the customer that are utilized during acceptance, commissioning or routine QA;
    • Data that is acquired by vendors and provided to the customer and utilized during acceptance, commissioning or routine QA;
  3. To provide guidance to the medical physicist on how to approach QA of a system that is selfintegrated or pre-configured and falls outside of the realm of a traditional radiation delivery device to which guidance documents already exist.
  4. To provide guidance to the medical physicist and vendors on a collaborative relationship between the two parties to achieve a mutual and shared responsibility for the performance of equipment and quality of the data in use.
  5. To provide guidance on analyzing the risks associated with implementation of “closed” or “black box” systems.
