Total dose received by the patient during a single session treatment or during onefraction is NOT the factor that determines the maximum level of risk – the maximum dose rate does!

Statistics on incidents

In conclusion, it is estimated that a situation where staff is required to enter the treatment room to undock a patient, other than when treatment is paused or when the treatment ends, occurs approximately 1 time per 25 000 patients treated.
2006 – 2014, 2000 CustomerFeedback Reportsabout LGK
17 reports in total describe incidents requiring manual undocking
12 for Perfexionbut always whensectors were in the home position,

2006 – 2014, a total of 300 000 pts were treated with Perfexion

Who is present at the console during treatment?

ExamplesCanada: (Radiation therapist trained for LGK emergencies)UK: (Physicist and radiographer(s))
Question Nurse Technologist Neurosurgeon Physicist RadiationOncologist
Q1 57 % 51 % 49 % 29 % 9 %
Q2 14 % 37 % 54 % 26 % 26 %
Q1 “At your site, who must be present at the console for the duration of the treatment – and why? (By asking the question “Why?” we want to understand what specific competence each person has that is considered important to have at the console, e.g. in case of emergency.)”
Q2 “What additional personnel must be reasonably close to the console i.e., “in the department” during the procedure, and why? ”
Why?

Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™ ‐ Licensing Guidance
22
The present wording
According to 10 CFR 35.615(f) (3)
…a licensee shall
For gamma stereotactic radiosurgery units, require an authorized user and an authorized medical physicist to be physically present throughout all patient treatments involving the unit.
Where “physically present" is defined as within hearing distance of normal voice.”

A change to the licensing guidance
• Inherent Safety• Anyone of the
existing team can be trained to responddue to the distinctdesign
Data on Safety Comparative SafetyDesign and Design Evolution
Incident frequency1 in 25 000 treatments
LGK safer than other systems but, despite this fact, morestrictly regulated
![Page 25: Per Kjäll Debra Bensen](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012802/61bd191f61276e740b0f546f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A suggestion how the requirement of physical presence of an AU and an AMP can be worded for Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™
25
An authorized user and an authorized medical physicist to be physically present during the initiation of all patient treatments involving the unit.
We will have either an Authorized User or Authorized Medical Physicist physically present in the department during patient treatment and immediately available to come to the treatment room to respond to an emergency.
