Cardinal Health Obtains 510(k) Clearance for Victoreen® THEBES® II Therapy Beam Evaluation System CLEVELAND, Ohio (April 7, 2003) — The Radiation Management Services business of Cardinal Health announced today that it has received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its new THEBES II Therapy Beam Evaluation System. THEBES II now provides an effective means of dose verification. Uniquely designed, THEBES II incorporates 47 ion chambers in a waterproof test instrument. Ion chambers eliminate the problems associated with older diode designs that are less accurate and subject to failure from radiation damage. E. Ishmael Parsai, Ph.D, DABMP, Associate Professor and Chief of Medical Physics, Medical College of Ohio states: “My experience with the new THEBES II in commissioning the new multi-leaf collimator has been exciting. This new device, either attached to the head of the gantry for dynamic wedge and IMRT dose verification, or on the patient coach for morning QA, is an effective tool for physicists and is proven to be accurate and easy to use.” Companion THEBES II Contour Manager software is also available and provides powerful information management, using Microsoft® Access with an SQL Server compatible database. The Contour Manager includes status bars, dockable toolbars, dockable Windows® to customize user screens, as well as capabilities to profile, compare, overlay, calculate percent depth dose and perform trend analyses.
