    Sending consecutive ExactTrac signals to the 4D Intgrated Treatment Console may cause unexpected deletion of both the ExactTrac interlocks and the BCCV from the equipment. In the occurrence of the described problem, it is possible to irradiate the patient using a cone different from that specified by the treatment planning, since the BCCV check has not been completed.
