Verify the Dose Calculation Accuracy of a Calibration

Verify the Calibration before using!

Read ASTM 51621:2013 for guidance about how to verify your calibration. The calibration “validate” feature in DoseControl is designed as a helpful tool but does not replace the ASTM 51621 guidance.

Easy Calibration Function Verification

The Calibration setup screen features a push-button verification test report using the “Validate” button. This feature helps the Application Admin to verify the dose calculation is correct before activating a calibration in the software.

1 Click “Validate” button to create the Calibration Function Output Verification.

2 Compare the Absorbance (A) and Calculated Dose (kGy) fields on the Calibration Function Output Verification report to the Dose Table from the calibration (the dose table is provided by the calibration laboratory).

3 Confirm the Calibration’s information is correct, such as the coefficients and dose range, and document the results on paper.

4 The Calibration Function Output Verification report is a secure PDF file that can be saved or printed. The report is automatically saved to the configured report storage location.

The System Administrator or global administrator can change the storage location of the Calibration Function Output Verification report. (System → Storage).
