Flexiplan is a Brachytherapy Treatment Planning System used by medical professionals. Flexiplan is used for the creation of HDR or PDR treatment plans for remote afterloader based brachytherapy. It especially supports the Flexitron Remote Afterloader from Isodose Control. Flexiplan calculates a proposed treatment course based on imported clinical images and other user entered data. Flexiplan supports the evaluation of clinical images in calculating the local and global dose to organs at risk and target volume.
Device Story
Flexiplan is a software-based brachytherapy treatment planning system (TPS) running on a Windows PC. It ingests clinical images and user-entered data to assist medical professionals in planning radiation therapy. The system provides tools for image enhancement, contouring of target volumes (PTV), and organs at risk (OAR). It calculates optimal dwell times and dose distributions for HDR and PDR remote afterloaders, specifically the Flexitron. The software reconstructs applicators and evaluates proposed treatment plans. Output is transferred to the afterloader for patient treatment. Accessories include a film scanner for X-ray input, a printer for documentation, and a pen tablet or touch panel for precise contouring. The device is used in clinical settings to enable precise radiation delivery, sparing healthy tissue while treating tumors.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
PC-based software running on Windows XP Professional/Vista. Includes monitor, keyboard, mouse, film scanner, printer, pen tablet, and touch panel. Connectivity via hospital network for image import. Software performs dose distribution calculations for HDR/PDR brachytherapy.
Indications for Use
Indicated for medical professionals creating HDR or PDR brachytherapy treatment plans for patients requiring remote afterloader-based radiation therapy.
Regulatory Classification

## 5.4. Description of the Device
#### 5.4.1. Flexiplan
Flexiplan is a software package which runs on a Windows - based PC and is used by medical professionals to create a radiation therapy plan based on the input entered by the operator. The isotopes used in the calculations match those which are normally used in High Dose Rate (HDR) and Pulsed Dose Rate (PDR) Remote Afterloaders. The software offers tools to enhance imported images and offers contouring of the planned target volume and organs at risk. The main use of Flexiplan is to calculate the required dwell times at the pre - determined dwell positions in a uniform way so that the Planning Target Volume (PTV) is treated with the prescribed dose while sparing the Organs At Risk (OAR).
Flexiplan can reconstruct one or more applicators. Based on the contoured target volume and the prescription dose, Flexiplan will calculate the optimal dose distribution for the tumor volume. Evaluation tools are available to qualify of the proposed treatment. The therapy planning is then transferred from the Flexiplan to the Afterloader.
The Flexiplan software is intended to be used with the Flexitron Brachytherapy Remote Controlled Afterloading Device.
