Indications for Use
Sentinella 102 is a mobile gamma camera system which is intended for imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the human body by means of photon detection. The images are intended to be interpreted by qualified personnel. Sentinella 102 may be used intraoperatively if a protective sheath is used. Sentinella 102 may be used at the patient's bedside, or in Emergency Room or Intensive Care Unit.
Device Story
Sentinella 102 is a mobile gamma camera system for imaging small organs and structures labeled with gamma-emitting radionuclides. Input consists of gamma-ray photons detected by a continuous scintillation crystal (CsI(Na)) coupled to position-sensitive photomultipliers. The system transforms these inputs into planar images displayed on a 19-inch monitor. The device includes a cart, ergonomic arm, and laser positioning system (635nm, 4mW) to assist in aligning the camera with the area of interest. Operated by physicians in clinical settings (OR, bedside, ER, ICU). The system includes a radioactive pointer (Gd-153) for relative positioning. Output is visualized by surgeons and physicians to guide clinical decision-making during procedures. Benefits include portability and high-resolution imaging of small structures intraoperatively or at the point of care.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated against NEMA NJ 1:2007 standards. Metrics reported include intrinsic spatial resolution (1.8 mm), energy resolution (15.9%), flood field uniformity (5%), and sensitivity for various collimators. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Mobile gamma camera with continuous CsI(Na) scintillation crystal. Includes articulated arm, laser positioning system (Class IIIR, 635nm, 4mW), and 19-inch touch-screen display. Connectivity via DICOM. Electrical safety per EN/UL 60601-1; EMC per EN 60601-1-2. Software-based image processing and database management (PostgreSQL/ADO.net).
Indications for Use
Indicated for imaging radionuclide distribution in the human body via photon detection. Suitable for use in patients of any age/gender requiring gamma imaging. May be used intraoperatively (with protective sheath), at bedside, in Emergency Rooms, or Intensive Care Units. Images must be interpreted by qualified personnel.
Regulatory Classification

Sentinella 102 has the same intended use as the legally marketed predicated
devices LumaGEM™ Scintillation Camera (Gamma Medica Instruments), K993813, and Anzai eZ-Scope AN Portable Gamma Camera (Anzai Medical Company, Ltd.), K022342, and uses the same technology in position sensitive photomultiplier as the former. Instead of pixelated crystals as in all the previously mentioned devices, Sentinella employs continuous scintillation crystals, which give to Sentinella the possibility of mounting not only parallel-hole collimators but also diverging and pinhole.
Sentinella 102 is as safe and effective as the above-mentioned predicated devices. It meets safety requirements, EN 60601-1: Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, UL 60601-1: Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, EN 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2006, Medical electrical equipment. Part 1-2: General requirements for safety. Collateral standard: electromagnetic compatibility bears the CE mark in accordance with the Medical Device Directive 91/42/EEC and meets the requirements of the NEMA NJ 1: 2007: Performance Measurements of Gamma Cameras and for the laser mounted on the equipment it complies with the requirements of the IEC 60825-1: 2001: Safety of Laser Products - Part 1: Equipment classification, requirements and user's guide and the 21 CFR 1040: Performance Standards for light-emitting products.

| Patient database management | Sentinella patient database stores patient information (name, sex, age, address, phone, ID,) and intervention information (date, protocol, comments, acquired images). Each patient can have several interventions. The database relies on standard SQL technology, currently based on well known, reliable and widely used PostgreSQL relational database. The database resides in local hard disk and periodic automatic backups are performed. Database could be located in a server and accessed though LAN, but Sentinella equipments are not delivered configured for LAN usage. The patient database is based on the Microsoft ADO.net engine. Database is managed from Sentinella Suite interface through the different | The patient database management involves both intermediate and historical archiving. The immediate archive database resides on a local or LAN based disk drive and the historical archive resides an a secondary mass storage device. The patient visit entry (patient name, ID, visit date) and each of the data set entries (dataset name, ID and creation date) are avallable from the main database interface. The patient database is based on the Microsoft DAO jet engine. It is a relational database organized in 4 levels: -Patient level: patient name and ID. -Visit level: for each patient, date of the visit, information about the visil -Study level: allows acquisition of protocol data grouping. | | Although the structure of the database of the Sentinella equipment is different, the principle of functioning is similar: - As LumaGEM database, Sentinella database allows to register patients, visits (in this case interventions) and show images obtained at different time.
