No
The description focuses on basic electronic measurement and display of radiation data from diodes, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like learning, prediction, or complex data analysis beyond simple readout and storage.
No
This device is a dosimeter used for patient dose verification and quality assurance in radiation therapy by measuring ionizing radiation. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device measures ionizing radiation for patient dose verification and quality assurance in radiation therapy. It does not provide any diagnostic information about a patient's health condition or disease. Its output is a measurement of radiation, not a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a keyboard, ON/OFF switch, power input connector, BNC connectors, RS-232 connector, and a parallel printer port connector. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical 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 VeriDose V is used to measure ionizing radiation in the context of radiation therapy. It works by reading the current produced by radiation sensing diodes.
- Lack of Biological Samples: The device does not interact with or analyze biological samples from a patient. Its function is to measure a physical parameter (radiation dose/rate) in the environment or on the patient's body surface, not within the body using biological specimens.
The intended use and device description clearly indicate its purpose is related to radiation measurement for quality assurance and patient dose verification in radiation therapy, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
This device provides integrated dose and dose rate readout capabilities for radiation sensing diodes when used for patient dose verification or quality assurance in radiation therapy. The diodes produce a current directly proportional to the ionizing radiation to which they are exposed. The diodes are connected to this readout device. The purpose of the combination of the diodes and this product are to measure ionizing radiation independently at various points of interest. The VeriDose V is intended for use by persons responsible for the proper interpretation of its readings and observing the appropiate safety procedures in the presence of radiation.

Comparison to predicate device: (Theta Systems PDM model 526)
3
Similarities to predicate device (Theta Systems model 526):
The VeriDose V and the predicate device are technologically the same. Both are based on a multi-channel electrometer designed to measure the charge provided by a variety of diode detectors. Both devices convert this charge to a dose or dose rate value. The VeriDose V and the predicate device allow the results of a measurement to be transmitted to a printer. Both devices are similar in size. Each device allows the user to set an alarm value used to alert the user of a measurement exceeding this limit.
Differences predicate device:
The VeriDose V is a 5 channel device while the PDM (model 526) is a 2 channel device. The VeriDose V provides a RS232 interface allowing the results of a measurement to be transferred to a PC. These differences, while providing additional capability, do not degrade performance of the device.
Possible Customer Use and Misuse:
The customer may use this product as a quality assurance device only. Misuse is when the customer uses this as a calibration device to measure absolute dose or internal dose. This product is not recommended to be used for any absolute or internal dose measurements. The user could select the incorrect detector group, and cause the incorrect calibration factors to be applied. The VeriDose 5 is intended as a readout for detector diodes (user supplied) used for the detection of ionizing radiation, it should only be used by responsible persons who have the proper interpretation of its readings and the appropiate safety procedures to be followed in the presence of radiation.
Fail Safe / Safety:
The failure mode(s) are anticipated to be: cable(s) not connected or power supply not plugged in. This would be immediately observable in the output. There is only low voltage DC present inside the product ( 12 VDC ). The product will perform a self diagnostic on power-up to test internal electronics integrity and notify the user if there are any problems.
Hazard Analysis:
Possible hazards are:
-
- The user could plug the wrong diodes into the inputs and thereby use the wrong correction constants yielding incorrect information. The result would be an incorrect reading.
-
- The user could select the incorrect diode group and thereby use the wrong correction constants. The result would be an incorrect reading.
4
To help prevent mis-use the diodes are color coded and clearly marked. The VeriDose V gives indication of each diode type per channel and provides a print out of the set up for record keeping. It is the user's responsibility to clearly mark the diode and its' connector to prevent connection to the wrong input channel. If the incorrect diode group set was selected it would be noticeable on the printout thus providing a check. The VeriDose V is intended as a readout device for detector diodes (user supplied) used for the detection of inonizing radiation, it should only be used by responsible persons who have proper interpretation of its readings and the appropriate safety procedures to be followed in the presence of radiation.
Risk Assessment:
This product is not a primary delivered dose measurement device, therefore, poses no user or patient risk. Since this product is an independent quality assurance device used for monitoring delivered dose, it plays no role whatsoever in the administration of radiation to the patient and in no way affects the performance of the radiation therapy system.
Failure Modes:
The diodes or the electrometer inputs may fail electrically. The memory, electronics or microprocessor may fail. Any connectors or the power supply may not be plugged in. These failures would be evident to the user by the either a message on the display indicating the source of the failure, or lack of display, as in the case of a power supply failure.
Labeling, Warnings, Standard Identification:
Product markings will include:
Nuclear Associates, Product Name, Model Number, Serial Number, Indication of Channel number.
Calibration:
Factory calibration of the product is limited to calibration of each of the five channels with a current source to a nominal 2 nC = 1 cGy.
User calibration includes placing the user supplied diodes in a ( star ) phantom. In the calibration mode, the serial numbers, associated channels, detector group number, machine ID, and Energy ID are entered, by the user, via the keyboard or via the RS-232 interface. The diodes are exposed to a known quantity of radiation and the charge acquired. The actual radiation exposure will be entered by the user. The device will calculate the calibration factor in units of cGy / nC. This data is stored in the devices' memory. The calibration requires user entry of a predetermined password preventing
5
unauthorized users from altering calibration factors. The calibration data can be printed or transmitted through the RS-232 port. A calibration ( star ) phantom is included with this product.
Storage Needs / Shelf Life / Disposability:
关
Shelf life is indefinite. The storage temperature is 0 degrees C to 70 degrees C. The relative humidity is 5 to 95% non-condensing. There are no disposability restrictions.
