RFSuite™ Brings RF Technology into Radiation Therapy
Product Information
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CIVCO Features RFSuite™, an automated Identification and Verification System for Radiation Oncology
Orange City, Iowa, USA – CIVCO Medical Solutions will be featuring the RFSuite™ of tools at the 2009 AAPM Annual Meeting. The system is a comprehensive tracking and verification system which improves workflow and quality assurance. It utilizes RF technologies giving you the ability to track patients, charts, film folders and positioning devices as well as facilitating accessory verification on the linac table.
The tracking software, known as RFTrak™, gives you the ability to quickly locate specific RF tagged items saving time and money. Patients are easily checked into the system by a customized RF tag which is automatically detected once a patient enters an equipped room. The easy-to-use software provides a snapshot of where items or people are located in your facility in real time. Regardless of which record and verify system is in use, the RFSuite™ system will improve workflow in the treatment process by providing automatic detection and confirmation of all prescribed accessory devices. The software will ensure that the correct positioning, immobilization and beam modifiers (such as compensators) are being used for the correct patient for each treatment.
CIVCO’s RFSeries™ line provides a broad array of products with RF tags including CIVCO’s line of patient positioning and immobilization devices, charts and film jackets. RFSuite is expected to be available during the fourth quarter.
