#### Description

6 2007

The Sun Nuclear Model 1133 rf-IVD (In-Vivo Dosimetry) is a system that measures the radiation output of a linear accelerator or a radioactive substance such as a Co-60 source, during the treatment of a patient. It has 3 detector inputs per detector pod, with only one detector pod usable at a time.

The radiation therapist connects the radiation detectors (diodes) to the Detector Module and then positions them on the patient in order to measure the radiation from the accelerator. The Detector Module communicates with the Base Station by radio frequency communication. The measurement data is then sent through a line to an optically isolated interface, then to the PC. The Detector Module and Base Station are battery powered.

The therapist leaves the treatment room. Dose measurement is then remotely started on the rf-IVD from the control room using the PC Software and then the radiation beam is turned on. When the beam turns off, the rf-IVD is stopped and the dose value is displayed. The rf-IVD display value is recorded or printed on an accessory printer. The therapist then enters the room and removes the detector from the patient.

#### Intended Use:

The recorded rf-IVD measurement is a QA test that verifies the dose output during treatment from the radiation machine. The actual treatment plan is calculated in the Treatment Planning Computer (TPC - not part of the rf-IVD) which uses dosimetry data acquired from a NIST traceable calibrated ion chamber and 3D-water phantom. The plan output should also include the "expected" dose at the point of the rf-IVD detector placement. Then the measured rf-IVD dose and the expected TPC dose can be compared for verification. If the expected dose is not verified, the measured dose should not be used to adjust future treatments. Instead, an investigation should be conducted as to why the error occurred. Therefore, the rf-IVD offers a closed loop QA test of the implementation of the plan.

### 510(k) Premarket Notification Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

#### EFFECTIVENESS:

The model 1133 IVD is an effective tool in the radiation oncology department. It offers the ability to perform closed loop quality assurance test of the radiation dose delivery to the patient without a significant burden to the therapist. The IVD can use diode detectors that are already present in the department's inventory; it only requires a calibration with these diodes. Because they are so small, the placement of the diode detector is easy for the therapist; and because there is no voltage on the diode detector, there is no electrical shock hazard. The dose measurement result is available instantly, allowing the therapist to compare with the physicist's expected dose and, while the patient is still setup for treatment, notifies physics for help in verification if there is an error noted. Since the IVD is not part of the treatment calculation or the treatment delivery system, it is totally independent and offers an effective method of testing the implementation of the desired treatment. With the operational features of the IVD, there is little effort on the part of the therapist except to: 1) place the detector, 2) click on a single "button" to start the measurement, 3) press the Stop"button" to get the final answer. 4) compare the measurement to the expected dose, 5) (optionally) print the results of the measurement for their records, and 6) remove the detector from the patient.
