## Indications for Use

The RS 3000 Shielded Cabinet X-ray Radiation Source is intended for the irradiation of blood or blood products packaged in transfusion bags in accordance with "Recommendations Regarding License Amendments and Procedures for Gamma Irradiation of Blood Products" (22 July 1993 memorandum from Acting Director, Office of Blood Research and Review, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, FDA to all registered blood establishments) when irradiation to reduce the risk of Graft Versus Host Disease is indicated.

## Device Story

RS 3000 is a shielded cabinet X-ray system for blood irradiation. Device consists of a shielded enclosure, two vertically opposed X-ray tubes, a sample holder (canister), power supply, and controller. It functions by exposing blood products to X-ray radiation to prevent graft-versus-host disease. Unlike isotope-based irradiators, this system uses an X-ray source. It is intended for use in clinical or blood bank settings. Operators place blood bags into the fixed sample holder; the system delivers a controlled dose of radiation. The output is a treated blood product suitable for transfusion. The device provides a non-radioactive alternative to traditional gamma-ray sources, eliminating the need for NRC licensing and specialized radioactive material handling.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technical performance comparisons and intended use.

## Technological Characteristics

Shielded cabinet X-ray system; 160 kVdc X-ray source; 0.38 mm Cu filter; dose rate 3 Gy/min; max/min dose ratio < 1.3; fixed sample holder; lead (Pb) shielding; safety interlocks; complies with 21 CFR 1020.40.

The word "RAD" is on the left, and the word "SOURCE" is on the right. There are two black triangles, one above and one below the text, pointing towards the center. There are also horizontal lines above and below the text, creating a visual effect of radiation.

Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device:

The RS 3000 Shielded Cabinet X-ray Radiation Source is substantially equivalent to the IBL 437C Blood Irradiator (K865027). Both are indicated for the irradiation of blood and blood products to reduce the risk of transfusionassociated graft-versus-host disease in recipients at risk of this complication. The significant clinical characteristics of the two devices are compared below.
