Intended Use
The Clinical Reference Dosimetry Phantom WP 1D is used to position various radiation detectors in water or air. It consists of a cubic tank and a precision onedimensional hand crank or motor driven servo. By design it is suitable to act as a phantom according to various dosimetric protocols (e.g. AAPM's TG-51 or IAEA's TRS-398). The device is intended to be used by experienced professionals entrusted with dosimetric functions only.
Device Description
The Clinical Reference Dosimetry Phantom WP 1D comprises a one-dimensional precision servomechanism attached to a Perspex (PMMA) water tank. Various radiation detectors can be positioned along a vertical guide rail in different depths according to the application needs. The "Manual Version" consists of the basic phantom, equipped with a self-locking hand crank to move the detector. That hand crank is coupled to a battery powered, reset-able position indicator that displays the depth. The "SCU Version" consists of the basic phantom, equipped with a motor/potentiometer device to move the detector. An electronic servo control unit (SCU) consisting of a handheld Remote Control and a Motor Control unit is used to position the detector to a user definable or stored depth.

No
The description focuses on mechanical and electronic control of a phantom for radiation dosimetry, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, image processing, or decision support.

No.

The device is a dosimetry phantom used to position radiation detectors for quality assurance and calibration of radiation therapy equipment, not to directly treat patients.

No
The document describes a phantom used for positioning radiation detectors in water or air according to dosimetric protocols. It is a device for calibrating or verifying the accuracy of radiation delivery, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as a cubic tank, hand crank, motor driven servo, Perspex water tank, vertical guide rail, battery powered position indicator, motor/potentiometer device, handheld Remote Control, and Motor Control unit. These are all hardware components, indicating it is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Clinical Reference Dosimetry Phantom WP 1D is used to position radiation detectors in water or air for dosimetric measurements. It is a tool for calibrating and verifying radiation therapy equipment, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for experienced professionals performing dosimetric functions, which relates to measuring radiation doses, not diagnosing medical conditions.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any interaction with or analysis of human biological samples.

Therefore, the device falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. It is a phantom used in the field of medical physics for quality assurance and calibration of radiation therapy equipment.

§ 892.5050 Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system.

(a)
Identification. A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II. When intended for use as a quality control system, the film dosimetry system (film scanning system) included as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

(1) Description of the Device:

The Clinical Reference Dosimetry Phantom WP 1D comprises a one-dimensional precision servomechanism attached to a Perspex (PMMA) water tank. Various radiation detectors can be positioned along a vertical guide rail in different depths according to the application needs.

The "Manual Version" consists of the basic phantom, equipped with a self-locking hand crank to move the detector. That hand crank is coupled to a battery powered, reset-able position indicator that displays the depth.

The "SCU Version" consists of the basic phantom, equipped with a motor/potentiometer device to move the detector. An electronic servo control unit (SCU) consisting of a handheld Remote Control and a Motor Control unit is used to position the detector to a user definable or stored depth.

(2) Intended use:

The Clinical Reference Dosimetry Phantom WP 1D is used to position various radiation detectors in water or air. It consists of a cubic tank and a precision one-dimensional hand crank or motor driven servo. By design it is suitable to act as a phantom according to various dosimetric protocols (e.g. AAPM's TG-51 or IAEA's TRS-398). The device is intended to be used by experienced professionals entrusted with dosimetric functions only.

(3) Technological comparison:

The WP 1D is a clinical Reference Dosimetry System similar to the MEDTEC Inc. Depth Dose Apparatus, K943199, 12/07/1994.

Both devices consist of an acrylic water tank equipped with a one-dimensional scanning mechanic to position various radiation sensors in different water depths.

Both scan mechanics may be driven manually or motor controlled.
