OAR 333-123-0075
Timer


An irradiation control device timer shall be provided to terminate the irradiation after a pre-set time interval or integrated charge on a dosimeter-based monitor.

(1)

A timer shall be provided at the treatment control panel. The timer shall indicate planned setting and the time elapsed or remaining;

(2)

A timer shall not permit an exposure if set at zero;

(3)

A timer shall be a cumulative device that activates with an indication of “BEAM-ON” and retains its reading after irradiation is interrupted or terminated. After irradiation is terminated and before irradiation can be reinitiated, it shall be necessary to reset the elapsed time indicator;

(4)

A timer shall terminate irradiation when a pre-selected time has elapsed, if any dose monitoring system has not previously terminated irradiation;

(5)

A timer shall permit setting of exposure times as short as 0.1 second;

(6)

A timer shall be accurate to within one percent of the selected value or 0.1 second, whichever is greater; and

(7)

A redundant treatment monitoring system (backup timer) shall be present at the treatment console to use as the treatment stop criterion in case the primary treatment control device timer malfunctions.
