In the event that a user action causes isocenter to be lost during the setup workflow, the system will present error messages on the in-room monitor and the tc screen indicating that deltas were not applied during setup or a program move complete (pmc) was not achieved.When the setup field is closed another error message appears on the tc that informs the user of a problem, which they must correct.The user is prevented from proceeding to a treatment field until the setup is corrected and the setup field is closed with a pmc.The auto-field sequencing option as currently implemented, automatically loads the first treatment field after the above error message is acknowledged.The workflow is permitted to proceed to treatment.Additional warnings will appear before each beam can be turned on, but those warnings may be improperly ignored.If the incomplete move and lost isocenter puts the patient a significant distance away from the prescribed position, a misadministration due to a geographic miss is possible.
