Intended Use

The TomoTherapy HI-ART System® is intended to be used as an integrated system for the planning and delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The HI-ART System provides precise delivery of radiation to tumors or other targeted tissues while minimizing the delivery of radiation to vital healthy tissue. The HI-ART System's planning station or operator station is intended to be used by the physician/oncologist to prescribe a radiation therapy plan for a particular patient. The HI-ART System then calculates the treatment plan which the physician reviews and approves. The HI-ART system's operator station and status console is then intended to be used by the therapist to select and implement the patient's treatment plan. The treatment process will begin by performing a TomoImage™ (MVCT) scan (a CT using the onboard linear accelerator as the radiation source). This TomoImage (MVCT) will confirm that the patient's position is correct for the radiation therapy as well as assist in patient repositioning when necessary. The Tomolmage (MVCT image) is not for diagnostic use. When patient positioning is complete, the HI-ART System is then intended to be used by the therapist to treat the patient using the selected treatment plan. The HI-ART System delivers the radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery treatment in accordance with the physician approved plan delivered in a helical tomographic pattern.

Device Story

Integrated radiation therapy system; combines planning, dose calculation, megavoltage CT (MVCT) imaging, and helical delivery. Inputs: diagnostic CT images (DICOM) or onboard MVCT scans. Operation: 6 MV linear accelerator mounted on rotating gantry; patient couch moves axially through bore. Multi-leaf collimator (MLC) with 64 tungsten leaves modulates beam intensity; helical delivery pattern. Used in clinical settings by physicians/oncologists for prescription/planning and therapists for treatment implementation. MVCT confirms patient positioning prior to therapy. Output: conformal radiation dose to target tissue; minimized dose to healthy tissue. Benefits: precise tumor targeting; reduced healthy tissue exposure; integrated image-guided positioning.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation performed using IMRT phantoms, ion chambers, and other test phantoms to verify system functionality, including planning, imaging, delivery, database management, and DICOM communications.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic radiotherapy, or stereotactic radiosurgery for tumors or targeted tissues.

The HI-ART System's planning station or operator station is used by the physician to prescribe and enter the radiation therapy plan. A diagnostic CT image imported via a DICOM protocol from another diagnostic CT device or a TomoImage (MVCT) scan is used as the basis for the plan. The regions of interest, regions to avoid, and other prescribing information are entered in a manner that is similar to other commercially available planning systems. The HI-ART System utilizes a 6 MV linear accelerator as the radiation source. The linear accelerator along with the primary collimator, multi-leaf collimator (MLC), detector, various control devices and power supplies are mounted on a rotating gantry, much like a CT gantry. During treatment or imaging, the patient is positioned on the couch support, and the couch moves axially through the bore of the gantry, and the radiation is delivered in a helical pattern. The primary collimator and the MLC control the beam dimensions during radiation delivery so that the range of collimated beam size can vary from 0 to 400 mm wide by 5 to 50 mm at the isocenter. The MLC is constructed of 64 tungsten leaves that open and close as determined by the radiation therapy plan. The intensity of the radiation beam is proportional to the length of time that a particular leaf is open. The opening and closing of various leaves as the radiation is delivered in this helical pattern allows for an IMRT plan to be delivered with precise control. The result is a highly conformal dose to the region of interest with low doses to surrounding healthy tissue. Because the HI-ART System is operating in a helical mode similar to CT systems, it inherently has the ability to obtain a CT image. The system utilizes the linear accelerator to obtain a megavoltage (MVCT) scan of the region of interest prior to the delivery of radiation therapy. This MVCT image is then used to ascertain that the patient is correctly positioned prior to treatment. The radiation dose to the patient from an MVCT scan is comparable to diagnostic CT or portal imaging. #### SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS The HI-ART System has several characteristics that promote its safety - no beam blocks are used that can fall off onto the patient; the rotating gantry is covered so that the patient cannot contact moving gantry parts; the linear accelerator operates in photon mode only so inadvertent electron exposure is virtually eliminated; MVCT allows for reliable pattent positioning. Also, the HI-ART System consists of components similar to those already commercially marketed, including the 6 MV linear accelerator, rotating gantry, patient couch and CT imaging devices. 013 {2}------------------------------------------------ ## STANDARDS COMPLIANCE Kobo9112 (page 3/3) The HI-ART System is designed to comply with relevant sections of the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4 safety standards and EN ISO 14971:2000. ## VALIDATION The HI-ART System was extensively validated for system functionality, including planning, imaging, delivery, database management, DICOM communications, etc. Test tools utilized in this testing included IMRT phantoms, ion chambers and other test phantoms. ## CONCLUSION Validation and verification testing of the HI-ART System demonstrates the device is safe and effective for its intended use. The HI-ART System with modifications is substantially equivalent to the HI-ART system. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
