Intended Use
Although intended primarily for use during Radiological Interventional and Special Procedures, the Skin Dose Monitor can be used whenever there is an interest in knowing patient skin dose. . The primary purpose of the product is to monitor beam entry skin dose within the radiation beam, where there may be a risk of skin burns or cancers dur to extremely high doses. In these situations the beam direction is fixed for a major part of the procedure and the sensor siting is obvious. If the Skin Dose Monitor is to be used for other applications such as dose monitoring of a pregnant woman during general radiological procedures or monitoring doses during fluoroscopic guided surgery, the sensor site may be less obvious. Under these circumstances the sensor might be mounted on the X-Ray collimator face. The real time display of dose may be used to indicate the need to take action to avoid excessive dose to one area of skin by changing the beam direction. The rate indicating LED provides a means to take action which will keep dosage per minute during fluoroscopy at the minimum level needed to ensure acceptable images. The Skin Dose Monitor is also an effective tool for use during staff training or when benchmark protocols are being established for new procedures. Contra indications for use are when the radiation energy or doserate being used fall outside the Skin Dose Monitor's specification, or where the small artefact he image (1 sq. mm), due to the sensor, is unacceptable. f attention is drawn to the user for the need to gas sterilize sensors between applications in accordance with local infection control practice.
Device Description
Skin Dose Monitor consists of the model 104–101 The Instrument complete with couch mounting bracket and QA Test Box. The 120 limited re-use sensor is also part of the system. The sensor consists of a scintillating crystal which partially converts absorbed ionizing radiation into visible light. A length of radio translucent optical fiber transports the emitted light to the 104-101 instrument. The light is converted to an electrical current within the instrument and following scaling and integrating, is displayed on an LCD display in Grays or Rads. The instrument is battery powered and the displayed reading is retained when power is switched off.

No
The device description focuses on the physical components (scintillating crystal, optical fiber, electrical conversion) and basic signal processing (scaling, integrating) to display dose. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making. The performance studies are focused on electromagnetic compatibility and adhesive effectiveness, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is a monitor that measures radiation dose to the skin to prevent harm, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device is designed to monitor and measure radiation dose, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases. It provides real-time information about skin dose to inform actions to avoid excessive exposure, but it does not identify the presence or absence of a disease.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Skin Dose Monitor consists of a physical instrument (model 104-101), a couch mounting bracket, a QA Test Box, and a physical sensor (scintillating crystal and optical fiber). This indicates the device is a hardware-based system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Skin Dose Monitor measures the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by the patient's skin during a radiological procedure. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor radiation dose to the skin in real-time during radiological procedures to help prevent skin burns or cancers. This is a direct measurement of a physical parameter (radiation dose) applied to the body, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the Skin Dose Monitor falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring during a medical procedure, but it does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the Skin Dose Monitor

Skin Dose Monitor consists of the model 104–101 The Instrument complete with couch mounting bracket and QA Test Box. The 120 limited re-use sensor is also part of the system.

The sensor consists of a scintillating crystal which partially converts absorbed ionizing radiation into visible light. A length of radio translucent optical fiber transports the emitted light to the 104-101 instrument. The light is converted to an electrical current within the instrument and following scaling and integrating, is displayed on an LCD display in Grays or Rads. The instrument is battery powered and the displayed reading is retained when power is switched off.

Intended use of the Skin Dose Monitor

The Skin Dose Monitor is designed to measure skin dose during X-Ray diagnostic and interventional procedures.

Comparison of technical features with those of the predicate device.

The differences between the Skin Dose Monitor (SDM) and the In Vivo Dosimeter (IVD) are due to the former being used during X-Ray diagnosis and the latter product being used during Radiation Therapy. Hoth have a skin mounted sensor, in the case of the SDM this is a crystal where the IVD uses a diode. Both are optimized for the radiation energy being measured. In the case of SDM the manufacturer provides a means of fixation of the sensor to the patients skin where the IVD manufacturer leaves this matter to user innovation.

Coupling to the processing and display instrument is by optical fiber for the Skin Dose Monitor and by cable for the IVD. The optical fiber was selected for its radio translucent qualities but provides an incidental advantage of total electrical isolation of the patient from the main instrument.

The SOM, which is designed for couch mounting is small, compact and robust. It is powered by batteries and has the minimum of intrusive user controls. The IVD which is intended for mounting remote from the patient includes a number of software based functions to aid data logging, etc., and is mains powered raising added safety issues.

None Clinical Performance assessment.

Extensive measurements have been carried out to ensure the SDM neither generates Electromagnetic Radiation, or is affected by levels of electromagnetic radiation t ound in the typical radiological examination room. Comparisons have been made with industry standard Ion chamber and diode dose measuring systems to confirm the skin dose monitor precision and stability are sufficient for its intended These include energy and dose rate response, and long term use. stability with expected changes in ambient temperature. Although as is the case with the IVD precision of 1% could be achieved with careful local physics calibration 10% is considered acceptable for skin dose monitoring and attempts to achieve further improvements at the cost of user convenience are not seen as justified.

Conclusions drawn from clinical and non-clinical tests.

1

The tests carried out were designed to confirm that differences between the Skin Dose Monitor and the predicate device, The In Vivo Dosimeter, would not compromise safety or effectiveness.

The main differences are explained by the intended use being for diagnostic rather than therapy dose monitoring. They were shown to enhance the effectiveness for the intended application and provide added user convenience.

The SOM design was also shown to have significant safety advantages.
