Intended Use

Dosimetry Check quality control software uses the radiation fields that are measured with media such as x-ray film, electronic portal imaging devices (EPID), diode or ion chamber arrays, or in the case of TomoTherapy, a fan line detector array, and provides a theoretical calculation. Dosimetry Check computes the dose distribution using the patient specific CT or other image set or alternately a phantom that is likewise scanned, to calculate the reconstructed dose that is then compared to the plan dose. The results reported can include the computed percent difference at specific points as compared to the patient specific radiation treatment plan. Dosimetry Check does not provide any conclusions regarding the comparisons and does not provide any criteria to be used for interpreting the results. The experienced radiological physicist can reevaluate his patient specific radiation treatment plan in accordance with his clinical judgment. This product is not a treatment planning system and is not to be used as one. This product only checks the applied dose based on the measurement of each x-ray field applied to the patient and provided in an exported file, and a theoretical calculation. The product can only be used with photons (high energy x-rays) and cannot be used with electron or proton therapy. This product does not provide any quality assurance that the fields are in fact correctly aligned with the patient anatomy as planned. In addition, the product may be used to display the above dose on other fused image sets which could provide additional supportive quality information to the user regarding the correctness of treatment.

Dosimetry Check is a standalone software product intended to be used by an experienced radiological physicist for quality control purposes only. Dosimetry Check is intended to check the correctness of x-ray treatment plans delivered from high energy charged-particle radiation therapy treatment machines by using a measurement of the applied radiation fields that are planned to be or have been applied to a patient, and computing the calculated dose to the patient from the measured radiation fields that is intended to be used as a quality control tool tothen be compared to the intended planned dose. This product is to be used as a quality control check for the treatment planning system and delivery system. Dosimetry Check is not a treatment planning system. It does not design or transmit instructions to a delivery device, nor does it control any other medical device. Being a software only quality control tool, Dosimetry Check never comes into contact with patients or persons. Dosimetry {5}------------------------------------------------ Check is an analysis tool meant solely for quality assurance purposes when used by trained medical professionals. {6}------------------------------------------------ ### 510(k) Summary continued #### ● Dosimetry Check version 4 release 1, K132605 (Predicate Device) System 2100 for which 510(k) K993530 was cleared by the FDA on December 15, 1999 that is a medical image display system serves as a foundation that provides basic image display functionality for Dosimetry Check. Dosimetry Check is a software program that will compute the dose and dose distribution to the patient from a measurement of the radiation fields that are applied to the patient. The dose so computed serves as a means to verify the correctness of the radiation treatment and to serve as a final sanity check. The radiation fields are measured with media such as x-ray film or electronic devices that will measure over the area of the field, such as electronic portal imaging devices (EPID), or diode or ion chamber arrays. To extend Dosmetry Check to support the TomoTherapy machine, the device uses the data measured by the fan beam radiation detector that is part of the TomoTherapy machine. The detectors capture the radiation intensity periodically at predetermined gantry angles and couch positions, known as control points, from the treatment plan. The detector only measures the intensity across the center of the radiation beam in the transverse plane. A prior measured profile in the perpendicular longitudinal direction is then applied to complete the radiation field map. The radiation field map is then applied as a stationary beam at the center gantry angle and couch position for the integration period (between two control points), from which the dose to the patient is computed. The patient dose is then summed up from all such radiation field maps #### ● Mobius3D, K140660 (Predicate Device) Mobius3D is a software product used within a radiation therapy clinic for quality assurance and treatment plan verification. It is important to note that while Mobius3D operates in the field of radiation therapy, it is neither a radiation delivery device (e.g. a linear accelerator), nor is it a treatment planning system (TPS). Mobius3D cannot design or transmit instructions to a delivery device, nor does it control any other medical device. Mobius3D is an analysis tool meant solely for quality assurance (QA) purposes when used by trained medical professionals. Being a software-only OA tool, Mobius3D never comes into contact with patients Mobius3D performs dose calculation verifications for radiation treatment plans by doing an independent calculation of radiation dose is initially calculated by a treatment planning system (TPS), which is a software tool that develops a detailed set of instructions (i.e. a plan) for another system (e.g. a linear accelerator) to deliver radiation to a patient: The dose calculation performed by Mobius3D uses a proprietary collapsed cone convolution superposition (COS) algorithm. Mobius3D also performs dose delivery quality assurance for radiation treatment plans by using the measured data recorded in a linear accelerator's delivery log files to calculate a delivered dose. This is presented to the end user in a software component of Mobius3D called MobiusFX. The MobiusFX component is available to users through licensing as an add-on to the core Mobius3D software features. {7}------------------------------------------------ # Device Comparison Table | Features | Predicate<br>Dosimetry Check<br>Version 4 Release 1<br>K132605 | Predicate<br>Mobius3D<br>K140660 | Modified Device<br>Dosimetry Check<br>Version 5<br>Release 1 | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Pre-treatment images | Yes | No | Yes | | Exit images | Yes | No | Yes | | Pencil beam dose algorithm | Yes | No | Yes | | Convolution/superposition "collapsed cone"<br>algorithm (CC).
