Brachytherapy afterloader SagiNova®

The SagiNova® HDR afterloader was designed to address today´s needs for HDR brachytherapy applications regarding safety, seamless workflows and cost efficiency. SagiNova‘s world-class technology is based on our innovative approach to incorporate customer needs into product development. Miniaturized Iridium-192 and Cobalt-60 Source BEBIG Medical provides the choice of two isotopes, Ir-192 and Co-60, according to individual institutional needs and preferences. Both sources are equivalent in size and have been in clinical use for more than 10 years. Due to the considerably longer half-life of five years and a certified 100,000 source transfers, more and more institutes choose the Co-60 source as it requires time to perform QA procedures related to source exchanges only every five years. Exclusive: Integrated Real-Time In-Vivo Dosimetry System The unique In-Vivo Dosimetry System allows direct independent monitoring of doses to rectum and bladder at the control console alongside treatment information. Dose limit values can be defined via the SagiNova® treatment control software and warnings are displayed if bladder or rectum dose limits are exceeded. The complete data is integrated in the treatment report for a convenient documentation. Since the system is operated directly from the SagiNova® treatment control station, In-Vivo Dosimetry is easily integrated into the treatment process with no additional equipment or screens. Exclusive: QAssist – Guidance in Quality Assurance The highly customizable tool QAssist supports physicists by defining and running site specific quality assurance protocols.
