Indications for Use
The Small Field Applicator is an accessory to the PROBEAT-V system that is intended to assist the radiation oncologist in the delivery of proton radiation to defined target volumes while sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation.
Device Story
Small Field Applicator is an accessory for the PROBEAT-V proton beam therapy system; used in clinical radiation oncology settings. Device consists of a cylinder with touch sensors, a 4-legged table, and a plate part. It attaches to the nozzle configuration to shape the proton beam, creating a sharper lateral penumbra compared to standard configurations. By placing a collimator closer to the patient, it reduces radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissue. Includes touch sensors that interface with the system to stop gantry and patient positioning system (PPS) movement upon contact with the patient. Operated by radiation oncology staff to improve precision of dose delivery to target volumes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluations included mechanical testing, control system interface assessment, dose distribution analysis, end-to-end clinical workflow testing, and radiation safety verification. Results demonstrated the device performs as intended and is as safe and effective as the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Accessory to proton beam therapy system; consists of cylinder with touch sensors, 4-legged table, and plate. Features integrated patient collimator and optional range shifter interface. Employs mechanical beam shaping to achieve sharp lateral penumbra. Includes touch sensor safety mechanism for gantry/PPS motion control. Standalone hardware accessory.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring proton radiation therapy, assisting radiation oncologists in delivering radiation to defined target volumes while sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs.

### Device Description
Small Field Applicator is an optional accessory to the proton beam therapy system which can be added to the nozzle configuration of the cleared PROBEAT-V system to make the lateral penumbra sharp, as needed. The Small Field Applicator may be used in place of the optional
{4}------------------------------------------------
removable Applicator having an aperture (collimator) that has been cleared as part of the PROBEAT-V system.
The Small Field Applicator is composed of a cylinder part with touch sensors, a 4-legged table, and a plate part. The Small Field Applicator is inserted at the end of the nozzle to obtain a sharp lateral penumbra in the lateral dose distribution, and it can reduce the dose to the surrounding normal tissue than the case in which the Small Field Applicator is not used.
# Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Small Field Applicator is an accessory to the PROBEAT-V system that is intended to assist the radiation oncologist in the delivery of proton radiation to defined target volumes while sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation.
# Summary of Technological Characteristics and Comparison to the Predicate device
Both the subject and the predicate device's applicator are accessories to a proton beam therapy system to better direct the proton irradiation to the target anatomy. In each case, the accessories focus the beam by placing an object either in the beam line or surrounding the beam in order to shape the beam. The Small Field Applicator has an aperture (patient collimator) inside similar to PROBEAT-V's applicator. The Small Field Applicator can also optionally be equipped with a range shifter on the nozzle side, and its placement is similar to the PROBEAT-V's applicator. The Small Field Applicator achieves a sharp beam by setting the collimator closer to the patient. Both the Small Field Applicator and the PROBEAT-V's applicator include a touch sensor that will stop the gantry and PPS when the applicator touches the patient. The touch sensor function is same between the Small Field Applicator and PROBEAT-V's applicator. In conclusion, the Small Field Applicator's structure is similar to the PROBEAT-V's applicator and does not affect the Indications for Use and safety function of the device as a whole.
## Performance Data
Mechanical testing as well as evaluations to assess the interface with the control system, dose distribution, end-to-end testing to evaluate use in the clinical workflow, and radiation safety have been performed. In all instances, the PROBEAT-V with the Small Field Applicator performed as intended and as safe and effective as the predicate device.
## Conclusions
The Small Field Applicator has the same intended use and indications for use as the predicate device. Both devices are accessories to Proton Beam Therapy System and intended to assist radiation oncologist in the delivery of proton radiation to defined target volumes. Performance testing has demonstrated that the Small Field Applicator performs as intended and raises no new questions of safety and effectives compared to the predicate device. Thus, the device can be found substantially equivalent to the identified predicate.
