PortalVision: aS1000

aS1000 for 4D Integrated Treatment Console

    
          PortalVision aS1000 uses amorphous silicon imaging technology to offer ultra performance, high resolution, high contrast images with the MV treatment beam using less dose to the patient. This aids in immediate and confident setup verification for both simple and complex treatments including IMRT. High-resolution images with better definition of small structures allow the treatment field edges and included anatomy and surrogate targets to be more easily viewed. Systematic errors may be calculated and later eliminated or reduced, which in turn helps to speed the delivery and improve the accuracy of conformal and IMRT treatment delivery. PortalVision may also be used for pre-treatment QA of IMRT plans using optional software. The aS1000 imaging system, used for IMRT integrated imaging, can be used at higher dose rates with greater resistance to saturation than the aS500 imaging system.     
          PortalVision aS1000 for 4D Integrated Treatment Console Description PortalVision is a hardware and software package designed to provide the linear accelerator with Electronic Portal Imaging capabilities. The package includes the image acquisition hardware and robotic arm to position imager, Image Acquisition and Vision review applications software including Match and Review capabilities.

Laserguard

LaserGuard provides an additional level of safety to automated Clinac iX operation. This is accomplished by monitoring the proximity of the patient or couch and the collimator face during remote movements, stopping or inhibiting Clinac IX motions prior to a potential collision. LaserGuard provides an additional “set of eyes” to monitor the sequence of events during remote motion by minimizing risk.

    
         LaserGuard monitors the area around the Clinac iX collimator cover equipped with an MLC with a plane of infrared sensing light that emanates from a device located within the gantry. Any object that intrudes into this area called the protection zone will result in gantry motion being halted per IEC specifications.     
        

Additional features Include:

1.      Protection zone plane inclined at three degrees to maximize clearance and system usability.

2.      The protection zone plane includes a conformal notch contour.

3.      LaserGuard set to override state when the treatment door is open for ease of setup.

4.      Self-clearing manual override button(s) for uses with accessories other than upper wedges.

5.      Indicators at both Console and Gantry to alert operator if the system detects an intrusion into the protection zone or the protection zone is overridden.

6.      Diagnostic panel for error analysis located behind stand door.

    
         NOTE: LaserGuard is a secondary collision detection system. It does not replace existing safety systems or the vigilance of the clinician. The clinician is expected to verify all patient and equipment clearances before executing any remote motion sequence.

The Software Schedule, if applicable, shall govern all Varian Software other than firmware and operating system software loaded on Varian Hardware. The Support Schedule, if applicable, shall govern all Services. While Varian may acknowledge receipt of a purchase order issued by Customer by signing and returning it, any Customer terms and conditions in any specific order documentation, preprinted or otherwise, shall be inapplicable and shall not modify this Agreement.

 

2. Quotations and Prices

 

(a) A Quotation shall expire at the end of the period identified in the Quotation, or if none is stated in the Quotation, the Quotation shall expire sixty (60) days from the date of issuance. A Quotation to a non-U.S. customer shall be considered a solicitation for an offer to purchase, (b) Varian’s prices exclude, and Customer shall be responsible for, all ordinary and necessary charges incidental to the sale incurred by Varian and billed by Varian to Customer, including but not limited to charges for all taxes or levies of whatever nature arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the sale, delivery, ownership, or use of the Products or performance of the Services, but excluding taxes based on Varian’s net income. Customer shall reimburse Varian in full for any such taxes or levies that are paid in advance by Varian for Customer. If Customer asserts that any transaction under this Agreement is tax exempt, Customer shall provide to Varian a tax or levy exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing or levying authority. The total price to Customer shall be adjusted to include costs of transportation, special packing, and insurance incurred by Varian in accordance with agreed shipping and risk terms, (c) Varian’s acceptance of any order and Varian’s performance are expressly conditioned upon Customer’s compliance with all applicable codes, regulations, and recommendations of competent health or radiation-protection authorities affecting Products or installation and use of the Products, and Varian’s approval of Customer’s credit, (d) Customer shall disclose the dollar value of any discounts or reductions in price for the Products and Services furnished by Varian in Customer’s costs claimed or charges made to Medicare, Medicaid, and any other federal, state, or local program providing reimbursement to Customer.

 

3. Payment

 

The payment schedule and payment terms arc set forth in the Quotation or contract agreed to in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Varian, provided, however, that if installation is not completed until six (6) months after delivery of the Product pursuant to item (4) in Section 8, then all remaining unpaid balances shall become immediately due regardless of the payment schedule in such Quotation or contract. Varian may charge interest for past due balances up to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. For partial shipments, Products will be billed when shipped. Varian may cancel or delay delivery of Products when Customer’s payments are late under any orders with Varian. Varian shall retain a purchase money security interest in all Products until Customer has made payment in full to Varian of all sums due, including late fees and collection costs. Customer agrees to execute any financing statements or other documents requested by Varian, which may be reasonably necessary to perfect such security interest. All down payments, if any, are non-refundable, and Varian shall retain them as damages for unauthorized termination or cancellation.

 

4. Transportation and Risk of loss

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or in accordance with expressly agreed Incoterms 2000, all shipments are Ex Works (Incoterms 2000) Varian’s plant with Varian selecting the transportation company. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, transportation to Customer’s site will be in “air ride” vans, and Varian may insure to full value of Products shipped at Customer’s expense or declare full value to the transportation company at time of shipment.

 

5. Architecture

 

Varian will have no approval or other responsibility for any matter affecting or related to the adequacy of Customer’s operating permit, architectural design, the radiation protection walls and barriers, patient viewing devices, compliance with all facility personnel safety devices and related inspections, utility service design and location, and other details pertaining to Customer’s site.

 

6. Installation

 

This Section applies only if Customer is purchasing linear accelerator or simulator products. Except as otherwise agreed, Customer will provide labor and rigging services to unload the subbase frame and the Product from the transport vehicle and move them to their final positions. Customer will be responsible for the setting and grouting of the subbase frame and the connection of the Product to the utilities, and Varian will notify Customer approximately ninety (90) days prior to scheduled Product shipment to allow Customer to provide for and coordinate rigging services, unloading, and final positioning. A Varian representative will monitor the movement, final positioning, and connection of the Product. Customer will be responsible for having the building, utilities, lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, mounting facilities, all necessary radiation shielding, and access to the room completed on the estimated delivery date and ready for installation of the Product. Where Varian supervises such work, Varian shall act solely as Customer’s agent and shall have no responsibility or liability of any kind for such work. If delays in completion of such work delay installation, Customer will reimburse Varian at Varian’s standard service rates for any extra time and/or travel by Varian made necessary by the delay. Varian shall have no obligation to operate Products to complete installation or testing unless Customer has provided adequate radiation shielding protection and other site preparations for the safety and protection of Customer’s and Varian’s personnel and Products. Upon


completion of installation, Varian’s representatives will demonstrate proper machine operation by performing Varian’s standard test procedures. Customer shall provide a representative who shall be present at all times during installation and be capable of assisting where necessary. When no representative is present or assistance from Customer is not available when required by Varian, Varian may discontinue installation and shall charge Customer for any additional costs incurred including Varian’s standard service rates. Should completion of installation be delayed due to union action or influence, Customer shall, as soon as possible, make such arrangements as may be necessary for Customer to carry out the work at Customer’s expense under the engineering supervision of Varian. Except as otherwise expressly provided by Varian in published Specifications or specific Varian offers, Customer shall be responsible for obtaining all permits and for meeting all requirements relating to applicable state and local codes, registrations, regulations, statutes, and ordinances affecting Products, including their uses and services.

 

7. Calibration and Radiation Surveys

 

For linear accelerator and simulator Products, Customer shall be responsible for all Product calibration. The dose rate and integrated dose measured by the accelerator transmission ionization chamber and dosimetry electronics must be calibrated by a qualified radiological physicist prior to use of the Product for patient treatment. Customer shall be responsible for testing and calibrating the Product on a regular basis. Customer also shall be responsible for any radiation surveys required by applicable law or regulation or necessary to establish that radiation does not exceed safe levels. For simulator Products, Varian’s obligation to calibrate shall be limited to that required by local law. In the United States calibration shall be limited to those certified components that arc required under 21 C.F.R. 1020.30(d) (U.S. Code of Federal Regulations) to be calibrated by the installer where Varian is the installer. Customer shall be responsible for all other calibrations of simulator Products.

 

8. Completion of Installation

 

Within three (3) days of delivery, Customer shall examine fully the Product delivered and make all applicable complaints and claims arising out of such delivery to the carrier in writing, and shall provide a copy to Varian. Where Varian Hardware installation is provided, completion of installation shall occur upon the earlier of (1) completion of Varian’s applicable standard test procedures, (2) Customer’s execution of Varian’s acceptance form, (3) use of any Product by Customer, its agents, employees, or licensees, for any purpose after its receipt, or (4) six (6) months after delivery of the Product. Prior to completion of installation, Varian may repair or, at its option, replace defective or nonconforming parts after receipt of notice of defect or nonconformity. After completion of installation, Customer’s remedies shall be solely as provided in the warranty. After six (6) months after delivery of the Product Varian shall no longer be required to provide installation services.

 

9. Cancellations and Modifications

 

No order accepted by Varian may be terminated, canceled or modified by Customer except by prior mutual agreement in writing. Where Customer breaches this clause, Customer agrees to pay to Varian all damages incurred by Varian, including a charge determined solely by Varian to cover the reasonable costs of processing, order handling, retesting, repackaging, lost profits, and other damages as determined in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement.

 

10. Use Restrictions

 

Customer shall not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any part of Varian Hardware except to the extent such prohibition is void under applicable law.

 

11. Firmware and Operating Systems

 

The Product may contain internal system code that executes below the external user interface and which is integral to the operation of the Product (“Firmware”), as well as operating system software (“Operating Systems”). Varian, or its suppliers, own all Firmware and Operating Systems. Except where such Firmware or Operating System is owned by a third party which licenses it directly to Customer, Varian hereby grants Customer, only for so long as Customer shall own the Product, a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the applicable Firmware and Operating System as part of the normal operation and maintenance of the Product. Customer shall not otherwise copy, print, alter, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, decode, or translate Firmware or Operating System except to the extent such prohibition is void under applicable law. Customer agrees that these provisions shall also apply to any copies of Firmware and Operating Systems in Varian products that Customer acquires from third parties.

 

12. Third Party Products

 

Varian may resell or license third party Products. Where such Products are sold or licensed on a stand-alone basis or provided on a stand-alone basis as replacement parts, they may be delivered to Customer with such third party supplier’s usage guidelines and restrictions, software licenses, and/or warranties. In such situations Customer agrees that its use of such third party Products shall be subject to such guidelines, restrictions, and licenses. Third party supplier warranties shall be governed by Section 14 (Warranty).

 

13. Proprietary Notices and Confidentiality

 

Varian or Varian’s licensors own all right, title, and interest (including without limitation all intellectual property rights) in and to all drawings, designs, specifications, manuals, and software furnished by Varian to the Customer. All such materials and software are furnished in confidence to Customer, except as may be found in the public domain, and shall be held in strict confidence by Customer with the same degree of care with which Customer protects its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Customer shall not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, trade secret, government restricted rights, or other proprietary or confidentiality notices or legends from any copy of such materials and software that are (i) placed or embedded by Varian or its licensors in the software, (ii) are displayed when the software is run, or (iii) are applied to the Products, their packaging, labels, or any other materials provided under this Agreement.

 

14. Warranty

 

Warranty for Varian Hardware: Varian warrants that Varian Hardware and any Firmware and Operating System loaded on such Varian Hardware, except where such Firmware or Operating System is owned by a third party which licenses it directly to Customer, to be free from defects in material and workmanship and in substantial compliance with operational features of Varian’s published specifications for the applicable Product at the time of sale (“Specifications”). This warranty shall begin upon completion of installation and continue for a period of one year from such date, but not to exceed two (2) years from date of shipment from Varian to Customer. In lieu of the foregoing periods, specific components of Varian Hardware may have different warranty periods, prorated replacement credits, and return policies, as stated on the applicable Varian warranty forms supplied by Varian to Customer with this Agreement. Weights and dimensions in the Specifications are approximations. Clerical and typographical errors are subject to correction. Occasionally, Varian may substitute remanufactured parts and components that meet the same quality standards as


other materials and are covered by the same warranty. Parts for which Varian has provided replacements shall, at Varian’s option, become the property of Varian.

 

Warranty Remedies: Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of Varian Hardware or Firmware or Operating System under this Section to perform shall be repair or, at Varian’s option, replacement of such defective Products in whole or in part during Varian’s normal business hours. If in Varian’s sole opinion such repair or replacement is not feasible, or if such remedy fails of its essential purpose, Varian may refund or credit a portion of any sums paid by Customer for the defective Product. In-warranty repair or replacement parts are warranted only for the unexpired portion of the original warranty period.

 

Warranty for Software and Services: Warranties for Varian Software, excluding Firmware and Operating Systems loaded on Varian Hardware, and Services, if any, shall be as set forth in the Software Schedule and Support Schedule, respectively.

 

Exclusions from Coverage: Any warranty or liability is excluded where the warranty claim, in Varian’s reasonable opinion, arises out of (1) accident or neglect, (2) use of the Products in a manner not authorized by Varian, (3) lack of routine care or maintenance as indicated in any Varian operating or maintenance instructions, (4) failure to use or take any proper precautions under the circumstances, or (5) user modification of any Product.

 

Other Supplier Warranties: Warranties given by other suppliers of equipment, accessories, components, or computer software not normally provided by Varian as part of its standard product offerings, which warranties are expressly made available by the supplier to be passed on to the Customer, shall be passed on by Varian as designated by the applicable supplier to Customer, subject to all limitations imposed on Varian by the supplier. In no event shall Varian have any liability with respect to such third party equipment, accessories, components, software, or warranties provided by such other suppliers, nor shall Varian have any liability for failure of such suppliers to perform on their warranties.

 

EXCLUSIONS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

15. Intellectual Property Infringement

 

Varian shall defend, at its expense, any third party claim brought against Customer that the design or manufacture of any Varian Hardware or Varian Software furnished by Varian to Customer under this Agreement infringes any patents or other intellectual property rights of the country where Customer takes delivery of the Product (“Claim”), and shall pay any settlement and any damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Customer arising out of a Claim; the foregoing is conditioned upon Customer notifying Varian immediately in writing of the Claim, giving Varian sole control of the defense, management, and settlement of the Claim, and, upon request, at Varian’s cost, reasonably cooperating with Varian in such defense. If (1) such Product’s use is enjoined as a result of any Claim, or (2) in Varian’s opinion, such Product is likely to become subject to a Claim, Varian shall, at its expense and sole option, (a) modify the Product so that it becomes non-infringing; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the Product; (c) substitute for the infringing Product another product having a functionality equivalent to the Product; or (d) accept return of the Product and refund its purchase price, less reasonable depreciation. Varian EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES from liability and Customer shall indemnify and hold Varian harmless from: (1) settlements and their related costs and expenses where Customer settles Claims without Varian’s prior written consent; and (2) any Claims arising out of (i) use of the Product in a manner not authorized by Varian; (ii) modification of the Product except modifications performed by Varian or pursuant to Varian’s instructions; (iii) combination of the Product with any other equipment, apparatus, software, processes, or materials not furnished by Varian; or (iv) compliance by Varian with Customer’s designs, specifications, or instructions; where such infringement would not have occurred but for such use, modification, combination, or compliance. This Section states Varian’s entire liability for any claim based upon or related to any alleged infringement of any patent or other intellectual property rights.

 

16. Bodily Injury

 

With respect to bodily injury liability to third parties, Varian shall be responsible in such proportion as reflects its relative fault, and Customer shall be responsible for all other liability for damages arising from or in any way related to the use or operation of any Varian Hardware or Varian Software by Customer, its employees, agents, or other non-Varian personnel. Notwithstanding the foregoing and regardless of any fault or neglect attributable to Varian, Varian shall have no responsibility whatsoever for, and Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Varian harmless from, any and all damage or injury which arises from or relates to (1) any use, operation, or service of any Product by anyone other than Varian personnel prior to completion of applicable acceptance tests by Varian and the radiation survey by Customer, or (2) any use, operation, or service of any Product contrary to any written warning or instruction given by Varian with respect to such Product, including but not limited to unauthorized use and/or modification of any equipment, components, software, or accessories by any user, or their use on or with any explosive or incendiary materials, or (3) claims or damages associated with any non-Varian design, manufacture, or installation of any product or any custom design, manufacture, or installation by Varian that is performed pursuant to Customer’s specifications, designs, or plans. This Section states Varian’s entire liability for bodily injury.

 

17. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

 

IN NO EVENT SHALL VARIAN OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR SPECIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO DATA, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT, EVEN IF VARIAN IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. VARIAN AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS’ TOTAL LIABILITY IN DAMAGES OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PAYMENT, IF ANY, RECEIVED BY VARIAN FOR THE UNIT OF PRODUCT OR SERVICE FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED RESULTING IN THE LOSS OR DAMAGE CLAIMED. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE MATERIAL PARTS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THAT PRICES FOR THE PRODUCTS WOULD BE HIGHER WITHOUT THEM. Liability to third parties for bodily injury, including death, resulting from Varian Hardware or Varian Software shall not be affected by the liability limitations stated above in this Section.


18. Export Compliance

 

Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Products and related technology subject to this Agreement are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States, and Customer agrees to comply with such laws and regulations. The obligations of this Section as to these laws shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

19. Force Majeure

 

Neither party shall be liable for any delay in performance which is due to causes beyond its control. Provided any such delay is neither material nor indefinite, performance shall be deemed suspended during the event causing such delay plus a reasonable period of time after such event, and the other party shall accept such delayed performance.

 

20. Disputes, Arbitration, and Applicable Law

 

Any dispute, controversy or claim of any kind arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the jurisdiction of the arbitration panel and claims in tort, shall be settled by final and binding arbitration. For sales to U.S. customers, arbitration shall be in the state of Varian’s corporate domicile under the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). For sales to non-U.S. customers, arbitration shall be in the place of Varian’s corporate domicile under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of this contract, and the appointing authority shall be the AAA. The governing law of the substance of this contract shall be the commercial law of the state or country of Varian’s corporate domicile, and the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. The procedural law shall be the law of the place where arbitration is conducted. Arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitration tribunal shall not award punitive damages. The expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees, expert witness fees, and attorney’s fees, may be apportioned between the parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator; however, in the absence of any formal ruling by the arbitrator each party shall share equally in the payment of the arbitrator’s fees and bear its own costs, expert witness fees, and attorney’s fees. The arbitration award shall be final and binding, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy regarding any and all claims and counterclaims presented, and may not be reviewed by or appealed to any court except for enforcement. Nothing in this contract shall prohibit Varian from seeking to prevent any unauthorized copying, disclosure, use, retention or distribution of its intellectual or other property by injunctive relief or otherwise in a court of law. Varian shall have the exclusive right to bring legal action for failure to pay for Products or Services furnished in the courts of Varian’s corporate domicile or any other place.

 

21. Limitation of Claims

 

No claims, regardless of form, arising out of, or in any way connected with this Agreement or the Products or Services may be brought by Customer more than one year after the cause of action has accrued or performance under this Agreement has been completed or terminated, whichever is earlier.

 

22. Notices

 

Any notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing, delivered (1) in person, (2) by international courier, (3) by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, or its international equivalent, or (4) by facsimile with confirmation of delivery and an extra copy mailed.

Notice shall be deemed to have been given when received.

 

23. Headings

24.Entire Agreement

 

This Agreement contains the complete and exclusive statement of the terms of agreement of the parties with respect to this subject matter, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, representations, and warranties, written and oral. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in a writing signed by both parties. If a court or arbitrator holds any part of this Agreement to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in whole or in part for any reason, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions of them, will not be affected, and such provisions will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such enforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or court decisions.

 

25. Waiver

 

No term or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed waived by other party, and no breach excused by either party, unless the waiver or consent shall be in writing signed by an authorized representative of the party granting such waiver or consent.

 

26. Assignment

 

Customer may not assign its rights nor delegate its duties under this Agreement without the written consent of Varian, and any attempted assignment without such consent will be void. Varian may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to a subsidiary or affiliate, or a purchaser or transferee of substantially all of the assets used by Varian in its business to which this Agreement relates without notice to, or obtaining the consent of, any other party.

PortalVision: aS1000

aS1000 for 4D Integrated Treatment Console

    
          PortalVision aS1000 uses amorphous silicon imaging technology to offer ultra performance, high resolution, high contrast images with the MV treatment beam using less dose to the patient. This aids in immediate and confident setup verification for both simple and complex treatments including IMRT. High-resolution images with better definition of small structures allow the treatment field edges and included anatomy and surrogate targets to be more easily viewed. Systematic errors may be calculated and later eliminated or reduced, which in turn helps to speed the delivery and improve the accuracy of conformal and IMRT treatment delivery. PortalVision may also be used for pre-treatment QA of IMRT plans using optional software. The aS1000 Imaging system, used for IMRT integrated imaging, can be used at higher dose rates with greater resistance to saturation than the aS500 imaging system.     
          PortalVision aS1000 for 4D Integrated Treatment Console Description PortalVision is a hardware and software package designed to provide the linear accelerator with Electronic Portal Imaging capabilities. The package includes the image acquisition hardware and robotic arm to position imager, Image Acquisition and Vision review applications software including Match and Review capabilities.
