Intended Use
The RPM Respiratory Gating System is used to obtain tracking of the subject respiratory pattern for respiratory synchronized image acquisition and radiation therapy treatment. It can also be used to monitor the patient position during image acquisition, simulation and treatment.
Device Story
RPM Respiratory Gating System is an external attachment for radiation therapy and imaging systems (linear accelerators, proton therapy, simulators). It tracks patient respiratory motion to synchronize imaging or beam delivery; limits radiation beam-on time to specific respiratory cycle phases where target volume is within motion limits. Input: video camera captures position of a light plastic block with retro-reflective markers placed on patient's chest or abdomen. System processes marker position (vertical, lateral, longitudinal) to generate respiratory signal. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncology staff. Output: respiratory signal used by external devices for gating/triggering or patient position monitoring. Benefits: enables motion-managed radiation therapy, reducing dose to healthy tissue by ensuring beam delivery only when target is in position.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance established via bench testing and verification/validation of system functionality, including signal tracking accuracy, measurement resolution, and compatibility with radiation therapy and imaging systems.
Technological Characteristics
System consists of a video camera and a plastic block with retro-reflective markers. Measures vertical, lateral, and longitudinal position of markers. Supports phase-based and amplitude-based gating. Compatible with Varian linear accelerators and proton therapy systems. Connectivity via general interface for triggered/gated image acquisition. Operates at distances up to 15 ft. No wire connections to patient.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing radiation therapy or diagnostic imaging requiring respiratory synchronization or position monitoring. Used for tracking respiratory patterns and monitoring patient position during simulation, image acquisition, and treatment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.

| Device Description: | The Varian RPM Respiratory Gating is an attachment to radiation<br>therapy treatment systems such as conventional linear<br>accelerators, proton therapy systems, radiation therapy simulators<br>and image acquisition devices used for diagnostics and radiation<br>therapy. The RPM device is to be used to characterize the patient's<br>respiratory motion information to synchronize their operation with<br>the respiratory motion. The imaging devices either trigger the<br>image acquisition based on the signal received from RPM, or they<br>use respiratory motion signal to trigger beam-hold and limit the<br>beam-on time to those points in the respiratory cycle where the<br>target volume is within acceptable motion limits. The RPM device<br>can also be used to monitor the patient's position during the image<br>acquisition and treatment therapy process. |
| Statement of Intended Use | The RPM Respiratory Gating System is used to obtain tracking of the<br>subject respiratory pattern for respiratory synchronized image<br>acquisition and radiation therapy treatment. It can also be used to<br>monitor the patient position during image acquisition, simulation and<br>treatment. |
