The PRO-DOSE System is intended to provide dosimetry or detect in real-time the dose delivered to a patient during therapeutic radiation procedures. The system is intended for the verification of the output of HDR brachytherapy after-loaders involving Iridium-192 sources.
The PRO-DOSE System is intended to provide dosimetry or detect in real-time the dose delivered to a patient during therapeutic radiation procedures. The system is intended for the verification of the output of HDR brachytherapy after-loaders involving Iridium-192 sources.
It is designed to measure the total dose and dose rate administered to patients during radiation therapy treatments. It enables real-time, in vivo monitoring throughout the treatment and generates a Dosimetry Report upon completion.
The Reading Device allows simultaneous dosimetry measurements in up to three independent positions by using three probes.
The System can be operated via an Software Graphical User Interface (GUI) that runs on the MiniPC, which functions in kiosk mode to ensure secure and exclusive use. The Software is pivotal in controlling the Reading Device, processing the signal and displaying measurements. As treatment progresses, real-time dose and dose rate measurements are provided. It also allows for the export of a Dosimetry Report as PDF files for documentation and review. The Probes allow instant detection and quantification of radiation dose. These probes are strategically placed at predefined locations by the user to ensure optimal monitoring throughout the treatment. The probes are single-use and pre-calibrated. Due to their small size and water equivalence, these probes can be inserted into the patient body using the same techniques through needles used in the HDR brachytherapy treatments.
The real-time radiation dose data is intended for use by qualified and trained personnel who recognize radiation hazards associated with the use of radiation therapy and radiology equipment. The system does not interact with the radiation source and is solely designed to monitor and report the accuracy of the treatment delivery. It does not deliver, plan, simulate, or control the radiation delivery. The trained and qualified user is responsible for the interpretation of the information.
The current version of PRO-DOSE System is specifically suitable for monitoring High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy treatments involving Iridium-192 sources.

Valid Predicate Discussion
MOSFET System Portable Dosimeter Dose Verification System, Model TD-RD-90 was selected as the valid predicate device and the OARtrac System was selected as the reference device to support the 510(k) submission because they received FDA clearance using well-established methods. Both the predicate and reference device meet the expected predicate performance due to no reports of unexpected injury, deaths, or malfunctions associated with the device. After conducting a search on the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) Database, Medical Device Reporting (MDR), MedSun Reports Database, Medical Device Safety and CBER Safety & Availability (Biologics) and Recall Database websites, it was found that there are no known unmitigated use-related or design safety issues and the predicate device have not been subject to a design-related recall. Design related recalls were identified in the FDA Database for the reference device. The reason for recall was that the device may result in readings outside of the expected accuracy range. All the recalls were terminated on October 26, 2020.

The difference in the indications between the subject and predicate device do not affect the safety and effectiveness. Differences in the two indications are related to the time period in which the dose amount is provided and the radiation source of which the output is being verified. The subject device is able to provide the dose and dose rate during the procedure in real time while the predicate provides information only about total dose after irradiation or updates every 20 seconds. The subject device is also specific to verifying the output of HDR brachytherapy after-loaders involving Iridium-192 sources, which is a subset of the predicate's indication of "radiation producing sources. These differences are due to the device technology or specific testing conducted and test set-up, but the intended use of the device remains the same.
With regards to the technology between the subject and predicate device, there are minor differences, but they do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. The subject device is inserted into standard brachytherapy needles or catheters, while the predicate device can either be inserted in the same manner or adhered to the skin. The subject device probes are single use, while the predicate probes are reusable until their useful life. The subject device uses fiber optic technology, while the predicate uses semiconductor technology. It should be noted that the reference device uses fiber optic technology. In the predicate device, the dosimetry records can be transferred to a computer through a USB connection, while the subject device is connected to software running on a computer through an ethernet cable. The fiber optic technology and connection to software allow for real time dosimetry readings, which is not available with the predicate device. The intended use of both devices is dosimetry readings, and any technological differences do not impact this. None of the technology differences represent new technology.
