Appendix B: Warnings and Cautions in <strong>MOSAIQ</strong><br />
Treatment Field Note Before the Verified Treatment dialog box opens, each field note<br />
typed and marked Alert (for any active field) will immediately<br />
appear - one by one. The Treatment Field Note will appear at<br />
the bottom of the screen.<br />
Portal Image Dose<br />
Compensation<br />
You can configure SEQUENCER to automatically change the<br />
treatment field dose on days when you make portal images, to<br />
keep the fractional dose constant. You can easily track portal<br />
image dosages as part of the daily treatment. SEQUENCER can<br />
accomplish this regardless of whether you make portal images<br />
before or after you treat the field.<br />
Capture Settings For emergency patients, or patients who have not been<br />
simulated, you can setup the patient on the linac and then<br />
capture the setup parameters in a Treatment Field Definition<br />
dialog box.<br />

General Warnings<br />
SEQUENCER shows this warning message when you are about<br />
to record a treatment without delivering the monitor units as<br />
they were set to be delivered when the treatment began (beamon).<br />
SEQUENCER shows this message when you have delivered<br />
more monitor units than the number set to be delivered when<br />
the treatment began (beam on). If you receive this message,<br />
contact your supervisor.<br />
If you start Treatment Delivery and treat at least one field, after<br />
you click Exit, this message appears. This is to prevent you<br />
from inadvertently exiting before you treat all of the prescribed<br />
fields.<br />
SEQUENCER gives you the flexibility to return to the<br />
Treatment Delivery Table and select another field for treatment.<br />
In addition to the warning messages appearing on-screen, familiarize yourself with all the<br />
following general warnings before you treat patients.<br />
Capture Settings Before you use the Capture Settings option, make sure that you<br />
selected the correct patient, that the linac geometric parameters<br />
are set up according to plan with the patient in the correct<br />
treatment position, and that the correct console parameters<br />
show on the treatment unit console. <strong>MOSAIQ</strong> receives the<br />
incorrect or missing information from the linac.<br />
