Model 1103 High Energy Probe

1. Introduction Intended use Indications

Electronic device for detecting and quantifying gamma radiation up to 600 keV. Used intraoperatively to detect and quantify radioactive emissions from body tissues or organs where radiopharmaceuticals are administered

This manual: Purpose

Operating the following devices: Model 1103 High Energy Probe Model 2060 Probe Cable Software Version 5.02 or higher Users Physicians and operating room staff Scope Supplementary information for users of high energy probes This manual does not provide: System repair and technical documentation Procedures for performing surgery Procedures related to nuclear medicine ® Neoprobe devices are not intended for use in/on the ‘central circulatory system’; not intended specifically to control, diagnose, monitor or correct a defect of the heart, or the central circulatory system through direct contact with these parts of the body regarding 1.7 of the 2007/47/EC Amendment. 

Neoprobe® devices are not intended to record X-ray diagnostic images.



Neoprobe® devices are not intended for use in disinfecting medical devices.



Neoprobe® devices are not intended to administer medications, medicines, drugs or other substances to the human body.



The GDS is not intended to be used as ‘personal protective equipment’ as described in 89/686/EEC. The GDS is not ‘machinery’ as described in 2006/42/EC. Any questions regarding these statements should be directed to Devicor Medical Products, Inc.’s RA/QA Department.

The console is not a portable instrument and relies on a commercial alternating current power source for operation.

2. Equipment Assembly The Model 1103 probe is an extremely delicate surgical instrument. Do not drop the probe. The probe is completely sealed and cannot be repaired or serviced. Damage from mechanical shock voids the warranty. ®

The probe must be connected to the Model 2200 or Model 2300 control unit of the neoprobe Gamma Detection System (GDS) and software version 5.02 or later. This probe MUST NOT be used with the Model 2000 or Model 2100 control unit. See complete instructions on setup and operation in the GDS operation manual.

Model 1103 High Energy Probe

The probe and accessories are sold nonsterile. Clean and sterilize the probe before and between each patient if not used with a sterile sheath. The probe and cable may be sterilized by the STERRAD® System, or EO methods. Do not autoclave. High heat may damage components.

For intraoperative use, the Model 1103 high energy probe and Model 2060 probe cable may be placed in a sterile surgical drape, such as the Microtek Probe Drape or Civco Transducer Cover. Using aseptic technique, install probe in a sterile sheath. Fold and secure sterile sheath around the probe to create a complete sterile barrier. Follow established hospital procedures to maintain a sterile environment. Sterile probes do not require a sterile sheath.

3. System Operation: The Model 1103 High Energy Probe is intended for use with radionuclides with energy levels up to 600 keV. The Model 1103 probe connects to the Model 2200 or 2300 GDS control unit with software version 5.02 or later and the Model 2060 cable.

4. Configuring Binary Pitch Mode: Devicor recommends that the Model 1103 high energy probe be used in Binary Pitch mode. The target to background ratio is used for target identification. See the Control Unit Operation Manual. Binary Pitch Mode indicates by sound when radioactivity is significantly above Background Count in nonradioactive area. To……

DESCRIPTION

Count Rate

A continuous rate of gamma radiation measured in counts per second and updated every one-half second. Count Rate appears on same line of LED screen as Target Count data and Target Check data when these functions are inactive.

Background Count

In Dynamic Pitch Mode: a baseline value in counts per second stored in console and used as threshold to activate sound In Binary Pitch Mode: baseline value in counts per second stored in console for comparison to Target Count determines if difference in radioactivity between Background Tissue and Target Tissue is statistically significant.

Dynamic Pitch

Default mode of operation of the GDS control unit: baseline value measured in counts per second stored in console, and used as threshold at which sound is activated.

Binary Pitch

Recommended mode of operation for Model 1103 probe: baseline value measured in counts per second stored in console for comparison to Target Count determines if difference in radioactivity between Background Tissue and Target Tissue is statistically significant. Binary Pitch Mode Only: quick check of level of radioactivity measured in counts per second detected by a probe held stationary for 2 seconds over target tissue; more accurate than Count Rate. Target Check function does not display a calculated Ratio Readout.

Target Check

Target Count

Number indicating level of radioactivity detected by probe when held stationary for 6 seconds over Target Tissue; more accurate than Target Check. Target Count activates and displays a calculated Ratio Readout; 6 seconds in Binary Pitch mode; 1 to 6 seconds in Dynamic Pitch mode. Caution: see accompanying documents ISO Symbol: indicates product is nonsterile until properly cleaned, disinfected and sterilized. +60°C

9. Warnings, Cautions and Notes This information supplements the control unit operation manual. Warning: 

Only properly trained and qualified personnel use the system.



Execute universal precautions when handling components exposed to blood or blood components. Before using or storing, clean all components used during intraoperative applications.



Use the probe only where the target tissue can be adequately viewed and accessed.



Do not use an electrocautery or other electrosurgical devices in the patient when the probe is in the patient. Doing so may increase the risk of patient injury if the electrosurgical devices contact the probe.
