Ocean 2014 User's Manual

Intended Use of the Ocean 2014 Software
Together with instruments from RTI Electronics AB it is to be used for independent service and
quality control, as well as measurements of kerma, kerma rate, kVp, tube current, exposure time,
luminance, and illuminance within limitations stated below.
If installed according to accompanying documents, the product is intended to be used together
with all diagnostic X-ray equipment except for:
- therapeutical X-ray sources.
- X-ray equipment with tube potential below 20 kV.
- X-ray equipment on which the instrument cannot be mounted properly, e.g. equipment where the
beam field size is narrower than the active part of the detector.
- specific types of X-ray equipment listed in the instructions for use or in additional information
from the manufacturer.
With the X-ray installation in stand-by conditions without patients present, the product is intended
to be used:
- to provide the operator with information on radiation beam parameters that might influence
further steps in an examination but not an ongoing exposure.
- for assessing the performance of the X-ray equipment.
- for evaluation of examination techniques and procedures.
- for service and maintenance measurements.
- for quality control measurements.
- for educational purposes, authority supervision etc.
The product is intended to be used by hospital physicists, X-ray engineers, manufacturer's
service teams, and other professionals with similar tasks and competencies. The operator needs
a short training to be able to use the product as intended. This training can be achieved either by
careful study of the manual, studies of the built-in help function in measurement software or, on
request, in a short course ordered from the manufacturer.
The product is intended to be used inside X-ray rooms ready for clinical use and can safely be left
switched on and in any measuring mode in the vicinity of patients.
The product is NOT intended to be used:
- for direct control of diagnostic X-ray equipment performance during irradiation of a patient.
- so that patients or other unqualified persons can change settings of operating parameters during
and immediately before and after measurements.

There are two different levels for Ocean 2014: Connect and Professional.
Connect
With Connect you can design you own measuring templates that includes displays for easy read-out. You
can save your templates and measurements. You can connect your templates with Excel and easily
transfer your measured data for further analysis. You can design your own spreadsheet and Ocean 2014,
in this mode, automatically fills out your spreadsheet with the measured values from the meter.
Professional
This mode offers everything that Connect does, plus the possibility to set up templates that perform a
complete job for you, including measuring data with the meter, checklists and analyze the data according
to the pass/fail criteria you have set up. The data is stored and a report is generated.
Quick Check
Quick Check is available for both Connect and Professional. Quick Check is optimized for ease of use and
suitable when you just need to do some quick measurements. Quick Check is suitable when using a
touch screen (tablet). It simply adapts to the meter you use and the detectors you connect (plug-and-
play). Data can be stored and printed from Quick Check. Quick Check offers pre-defined setup and is
easier to use instead of Real-time display as soon as you don't need to build specific templates. By
default, Quick Check is launched when Ocean 2014 starts if your meter is available (connected via USB or
Bluetooth). You can turn off Quick Check if you mostly use Ocean 2014 to run full QA sessions with
reports. To turn off Quick Check, go to Options. You can also, if you only use Quick Check, hide Ocean
2014's main window if you only use this mode.
If you have purchased a Piranha before December 2013 and have the Display license
level
License level Display will not exist for Ocean 2014, this means a Piranha that has been delivered before
December 2013 and has Display; will be automatically updated free of charge to Connect when it is used
with Ocean 2014 the first time.
