Medical Devices

Medical Devices is an ISO registered department within the Medical Engineering Group of the Medical Physics Division.

The department strives to provide the highest standard of service to our clients. This goal is achieved by a commitment to technical excellence and innovation and by fostering an environment in which trust and integrity, individuals' contributions are valued, and intra and inter-departmental teamwork is encouraged.

We are a custom design and manufacturing department specializing in the manufacture of custom clinical and physics testing equipment not commercially available, providing comprehensive service in repair, equipment modification, mechanical design and prototyping of equipment for treatment, quality assurance and research.

While our primary responsibility is to the departments of Radiotherapy, Nuclear Medicine and Division of Medical Physics , we offer our design and manufacturing expertise to outside clients.

Product development is supported by CAD/CAM and 3D software and manufactured in a fully equipped modern machine shop with CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining capabilities.

The workshop is also capable of handling light fabrication and welding projects.

Our ISO certified Medical Devices Department supports our Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine programs by:

• Using a computerized manufacturing process for the manufacture of patient compensators.
• Design and manufacture of custom treatment aids for patients and devices for clinical physics quality assurance program.
• Providing mechanical repair and modification services for treatment equipment such as Linear Accelerators, Gamma cameras and accessories.

Vault Door - This shows a vault door that has been retrofitted with a new drive system and a new computer system.

Mini Scan Tank - This tank is used in the calibration of the linear accelerators. It is modeled from a much larger version. The small size allows quicker scans and easier handling larger version.

• Provide design services for Development and Research
• Build Prototypes

Automated Compensator Exchanger - This device is shown placed in the area of the multileaf collimator on a linear accelerator. It has seven positions for loading compensators.

Beam View Imaging Phantom - This device is used to calibrate the beam views on the linear accelerators.
