The Xray source with beam shaping Morpheus provides radiation emission in the low energy therapy ranges of 50, 60, and 70 kV (a total of 3 kV modes) and is held and moved in place by an IEC 60601 medical certified robotic-arm. The robotic-arm uses a 7-axis motion system and is designed for human-robot collaboration for optimized treatment delivery and dosimetry. The robotic-arm and its control cabinet mounted in the base of the Sensus IORT System contains multiple sensory capabilities for safety and simple operator control that allows it to act as an assistant to the doctor. The robot's joint torque sensors allow it to touch the patient with enough sensitivity to move with respiratory tracking (dubbed Cybernetic Respiratory Motion Tracking, or CRMT) and allow hand-guided movement by the doctor to control and place the xray source into position to deliver therapy. The X-ray source held by the robotic arm consists of a drift tube and electron acceleration stage. In general, kilovoltage x-ray sources produce x-rays by accelerating electrons onto a tungsten target, which is a high-Z material. The electrons decelerate in the target, and their energy is converted to x-ray radiation (referred to as Bremsstrahlung, literally "braking" radiation), which is emitted in a roughly isotropic radiation pattern. The Morpheus x-ray gun enables the Sensus IORT System to deliver an optimal and effective therapy beam to the targeted tissue bed that requires localized treatment. The Morpheus x-ray gun is operated by the system's control circuits and software and it is being fed by the high voltage power supply (HVPS), which provides the high voltage through the HV Feedthrough to {5}------------------------------------------------ the Morpheus x-ray gun and the integrated cooling module, which circulates the cooling fluid in order to maintain the Morpheus x-ray gun at a stable and optimal thermodynamic condition. The currently available kV modes of the Morpheus x-ray gun are 50kV, 60kV, and 70kV (Gen 1.0). The high voltage potential from the HVPS is fed to the Cathode by the HV Feedthrough onto the Cathode Assy. Once the electron beam hits the Diamond-Tungsten-Molybdenum (CW-Mo) target, x-ray photons are generated in an isospheric pattern that is emitted towards the front and back of the target. The x-ray photons have no attenuating barrier in the front of the target (the attached Cooling Jacket is x-ray translucent) and the x-ray photons that are emitted from the back side of the target are emitted out with no significant attenuation through the SiC Window Sleeve. This allows the x-ray photons to be effectively generated and emitted from both sides of the target, thus rendering an optimal geometric distribution and coverage of the generating x-ray beam to deliver therapy. The system base unit is self-propelled with full battery backup, which allow the operators to move it between surgical suites and hospital facilities. It also features a 3KW back up UPS, which allows the operators to complete a full treatment, even if the hospital power grid goes off line. The Sensus IORT System is a stand-alone system that incorporates its own cooling module, power supplies, and networking. It consists of five separate core components: - Computer Control Console . - . Beam Shaping Morpheus / X-Ray Source (to delivery X-ray radiation) - Cybernetic Respiratory Motion Tracking (using the Robotic Arm) . #### 510(k) Summary (Sensus Healthcare Sensus IORT System) {6}------------------------------------------------ - Base Unit with Drive/Propulsion System (device cabinet with motor) . - . Red-Diode laser for positioning The Sensus IORT System X-ray source interacts with a sterile tissue volume management (TVM) Balloon Catheter to act as a barrier between the X-ray source and the patient. ## Indications for Use: The Sensus IORT System is indicated for radiation therapy treatments. The Sensus IORT System is an electron linear accelerator with a beam-forming x-ray target used for low energy radiation therapy to treat lesions, tumors, and conditions in or on the body where radiation is indicated. Only Sensus TVM Balloon Applicators can be used with the Sensus IORT System. ## Prescriptive Statement The Sensus IORT System is intended for use by a physician and other specially-qualified individuals properly trained in the system's use and application. Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## Technological Characteristics/Principles of Operation The Sensus IORT System produces and emits filtered, low energy (50, 60, and 70 kV) xray radiation, which is electrically generated using the onboard Kimball Power Supply and HV Generator (also referred to as HV Power Supply). The X-ray source consists of a drift tube and electron acceleration stage. In general, kilovoltage x-ray sources produce x-rays by accelerating electrons onto a tungsten target, which is a high-Z material. The electrons decelerate in the target, and their energy is converted to x-ray radiation (referred to as Bremsstrahlung, literally "braking" radiation), which is emitted in a roughly isotropic radiation pattern. For the Sensus IORT System IORT, the x-ray target is located inside the drift tube at the tip, which is placed inside the patient enabling direct exposure of the tissue under treatment. It is generally desirable to irradiate the tissue bed under treatment while sparing other anatomical structures that are not under treatment. To hold the x-ray source in place, the Sensus IORT System utilizes a medical robot which was designed for human collaboration and incorporates numerous safety features built-in. This robot has been tested to and passed the ISO 13849 standard of safety for machinery, and IEC 60601-1 safety tests for medical devices. Torque settings of the 7-axis arm will allow for tracking of patient respiration and will vield if it encounters excessive force utilizing a collision detection mechanism. The robot also allows for extreme accuracy with a position repeatability of + 0.15 mm (ISO 9283). Once the robot is activated for "hold position", the robot will return to this position within this tolerance. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing The Sensus Healthcare Sensus IORT System, as configured, has been engineered and tested to meet Sensus Healthcare product requirements, required electrical and mechanical safety standards, and meet clinical expectations. All testing of the Sensus IORT System was performed in accordance with defined test cases with clearly delineated acceptance criteria. Additionally, FDA consensus standards and recognized ISO and IEC standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1 3rd edition) were employed for the bench testing, functional testing, and overall system performance testing of the Sensus IORT System. Furthermore, all testing was commissioned to qualified and accredited independent laboratories. ## Non-clinical Safety Tests The Sensus Healthcare IORT System has been designed and constructed to meet the following electrical and mechanical safety standards: - o IEC 60601-1:2005 Ed.3+A1; C1: 2014 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance - AAMI ES60601-1:2005 +A1:2012 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General o Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance - CSA C22.2#60601-1:2014 Ed.3 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General o Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance - IEC 60601-1-2:2007 Part 1: General requirements for safety.

In addition to helping the physician manipulate and positioning the x-ray source, the robotic manipulator arm offers a respiratory motion tracking functionality to follow the patient's respiratory motion during the procedure, thus optimizing the therapy delivery. #### Conclusion Statement All the Sensus IORT System's intended use can be found in the intended use of the predicate device and reference device. Any technological changes to the device are minor. primarily as it pertains to industrial design, and do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The primary difference between the Sensus IORT System and its predicate is the use of the robotic manipulator arm to control and provide a stable delivery of the radiation therapy. 0Safe use and approval of a similar robotic manipulator with a radiation delivery system are found in the reference device which utilizes a 6-axis robotic manipulator developed by the same robotics manufacturer as utilized by Sensus Healthcare. Performance testing, along with verification and validation activities demonstrate that Sensus IORT System is as safe and effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. Therefore, Sensus IORT System can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/RA/subpart-f%E2%80%94therapeutic-devices/JAD/K182641](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/RA/subpart-f%E2%80%94therapeutic-devices/JAD/K182641) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
