Isoloader® Brachytherapy
Physics Workstations
The Isoloader is an all-in-one physics workstation that automates brachytherapy needle loading, radioactive seed assay and reporting.
The ease and versatility of the Isoloader is optimized both for interoperative procedures and for streamlining preoperative preparation, assay, sterilization and loading.
Simply insert a presterilized IsoCartridge® containing all seeds and spacers for a case, and you are ready to begin.

It's About Convenience.
Imagine the convenience of automatically loading needles from your dose plan at the touch of a button. Seeds and spacers can quickly be loaded or stranded into needles prior to surgery or in the operating room to accommodate real time planning changes.
The presterilized IsoCartridge format and integrated solid-state dose calibrator eliminate much of the time currently required to individually assay seeds in a well-ion chamber, sterilize and manually load. Isoloader comes standard with the IsoCheck® system to allow up to a 100% assay to be performed completely unattended.
Isoloader also automatically captures and tracks data to generate comprehensive, easily customizable reports for physics data, patient files, reimbursement reports and discharge instructions.
It's About Safety.
 |
Seeds and spacers arrive sterile in the shielded IsoCartridge and are transferred directly into shielded implant needles or strand carriers, reducing radiation exposure to operating room personnel.
Patient safety is assured through redundant systems in the IsoCartridge. With patient-specific external labeling and an internal coded computer chip, patient information and seed specifications are maintained and displayed. Should you attach an IsoCartridge that differs from the loaded dose plan, the system automatically alerts and prompts you for action.
The entire loading procedure can be performed in a sterile environment by using the provided sterile drape and accessories.

It's About Ease of Use.
The user interface is simple to use and intuitive. It works the way you do and clearly displays color-coded plan data, needle loading progress and real-time seed and spacer availability. Building custom reports is a snap.
All leading Windows-based treatment planning systems are compatible with and directly export needle loading data for use by Isoloader. Treatment planning software may in most cases be directly installed and run on the Isoloader.
The integrated solid-state dose calibrator with the IsoCheck system allows unattended assay without removing seeds from the cartridge or disrupting sterility. Ordered seed strength is automatically time-corrected to the assay time to provide an accurate comparison. A full report is automatically generated for all radiation readings.
