26 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
• Contraindications, warnings, precautions
• Patient selection considerations
• Pre-implant patient preparation
• Pre-implant equipment preparation
• Implantation process
• Possible adverse reactions
• Frequently asked questions

17. Indications for Use
27 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
LBL0212-000 Rev A 2012-3-30
• The Calypso® System is intended for use as an adjunct in treatment planning
and radiation therapy, to align and/or monitor the patient’s position relative to
the isocenter of a radiation therapy system. The Calypso® System provides
accurate, precise and continuous localization of a treatment isocenter by
using two or more Beacon® transponders.
• The Dynamic Edge Gating® component may signal a radiation therapy
system to impose a beam-hold when the treatment target position has moved
outside the defined tracking limits and to signal the radiation therapy system
to remove the beam-hold upon the target’s return to a position inside the
defined tracking limits. The Dynamic Edge Gating® feature has been shown
to be compatible with Varian and Siemens radiation therapy systems and
external gating interfaces.

18. Indications for Use
28 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
LBL0212-000 Rev A 2012-3-30
• Implanted Beacon transponders are indicated for use to radiographically and
electromagnetically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures.
• Permanent Beacon transponders are indicated for implantation in the
prostate and the peri-prostatic tissue, to align and monitor the treatment
isocenter in real time during radiation therapy.
• Surface Beacon transponders are indicated for temporary external placement
on the skin, to monitor respiratory motion and other patient motion in real
time during radiation therapy.

19. Implant Contraindications
29 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
LBL0212-000 Rev A 2012-3-30
• Hip prosthesis
• Anti-coagulant or anti-platelet drug therapy
• Low dose aspirin is not contraindicated

20. Warnings, per FDA Guidelines
30 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
LBL0212-000 Rev A 2012-3-30
• Effect of the electromagnetic fields generated by the Calypso® 4D
Localization System in the presence of other active medical device
implants, such as pacemakers and defibrillators or other medical
devices, is unknown and may impact operation
• Beacon® electromagnetic transponders and introducers are gamma
sterilized and pyrogen free
• Use standard operating proceduresto maintain the sterility of the devices
• Do not use packages which have been previously opened ordamaged
• Beacon Transponders and introducers are designed for single use
only
• Do not re-sterilize or reuse
• Each Beacon transponder is tuned to a specific frequency and is to be
implanted in a designated region of the prostate
• Labeling indicates the intendedregion

21. Warnings, per FDA Guidelines
31 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
LBL0212-000 Rev A 2012-3-30
• Use transrectal ultrasound imaging for guidance in
implantation
• During procedure preparation, if a Beacon®
electromagnetic transponder drops onto sterile field and
sterility is uncompromised:
• Do not use metal tweezers to retrieve the Beacon transponder
• Retrieve the Beacon transponder with a gloved hand
• Place it directly into the hub end of the introducer
• Do not use non-sterile or damaged introducers or
Beacon transponders

22. Precautions, per FDA Guidelines
• Non-clinical testing has demonstrated that Beacon
transponders are MR conditional. Apatient implanted with
Beacon transponders can be safely scanned under the
following conditions:
• Static magnetic field of 1.5T or 3T;
• Static magnetic field gradient of 2.5 T/m; maximum
whole-body-averaged
• Specific absorption rate of 2.0 W/kg for 20 minutes, in
the normal operating mode of MR scanning.
• A local MR image artifact may extend up to approximately2
cm from the transponder.

23. Precautions, per FDA Guidelines
33 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
LBL0212-000 Rev A 2012-3-30
• No specific evaluations have been made with transponders in the
presence of the following procedures
• LDR or HDR brachytherapy
• Electrosurgical procedures
• Harmonic scalpel, transurethral needle ablation, radiofrequency
ablation, cryoablation or lithotripsy
• The Calypso Beacon® transponder implantation training program
must be completed prior to implanting transponders in the prostate

24. Patient Selection Criteria
1 Place patient supine lying on a flat, hard
surface in the treatment position.
2 Measure from the table top to the maximum
anterior skin surface distance (A).
3 Record this distance in centimeters.
4 Estimate center position of patient’s prostate
by palpating the greater trochanter notch on
the lateral side of the femur.
5 Measure the distance from the table top to the
approximate prostate center (B).
6 Record this distance in centimeters.
7 Subtract A – B and use result to determineif
the patient is a candidate.
An optional CT image confirms implant
feasibility
Formula
A: Maximum anterior/posterior distance
B: Anticipated prostate isocenter
34 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
LBL0212-000 Rev A 2012-3-30
A – B < 19 cm = Localize and Track
A – B = 17 cm to 25 cm = Localize Only
A – B > 25 cm = Ineligible for implant

25. Beacon® Transponder ImplantationInstructions
35 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
Prior to Implantation Procedure
• Prepare patient according to institutional guidelines
• Administer antibiotic prophylaxis
• Bowel preparation for transrectal ultrasound
Day of Implantation
• Pre-load Beacon transponders into introducers and place on a sterile drape
• Prepare the patient for transrectal ultrasound examination
• Attach a sterile 14 gauge needle guide to the transrectal ultrasound
transducer

26. The Implant Procedure
 Three Beacon® transponders are implanted in the prostate
 Implant uses the same technique and equipment as a prostate biopsy
procedure
Implantation of Beacon transponders uses the same
technique as the implantation of other radiopaque markers

29. Implant Recommendations
• To ensure optimal localization accuracy:
• Implant Beacon® electromagnetic transponders
equidistant to prostate midpoint
• Avoid implanting the Beacon transponders adjacent to
urethra
• Attempt to place >1 centimeter apart from each other
• If 1 cm separation is not feasible, position Beacon
transponders as far apart from each other as possible
45 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS

30. Implant Recommendations
• In the event order of implant is altered
• The Calypso System software may be modified to correct the
incorrect positions
• If a correction is required, inform radiation oncology departmentprior
to treatment planning
• For highest localization accuracy
• Implant the three Beacon® electromagnetic transponders in a
triangular pattern
• Spread Beacon transponders apart from each other, ideally>1cm
• Avoid placement near the urethra
• In the event a Beacon transponder is voided post-implant,the
Calypso System can recognize two Beacon transponders
• Accuracy with < three Beacon transponders is reduced
• Implant Beacon transponders within the prostate
capsule
• Avoid seminal vesicles or any areas outside theprostate
46 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS

31. Most Common Implant “Issues”
48 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
• Beacons placed too close to one another.
• Beacons placed in/near rectal wall.
• Beacons are too coplanar.
• Beacons placed outside of prostate.

32. After Implantation Procedure
58 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
• Review post-operative care orders
• Review potential complications
• Refer patient to radiation therapy for
treatment planning
• A waiting period of 4 - 14 days recovery is recommended prior to
treatment planning CT to stabilize the Beacon® electromagnetic
transponder and reduce prostate swelling

33. Adverse Reactions
60 | VARIAN ONCOLOGY SYSTEMS
• Potential adverse events may include
• Bleeding (e.g., hematuria, hematospermia, hematochezia)
• Pain (e.g., procedural, perineal, bowel movements, unspecified)
• Infection (e.g., urinary tract infection)
• Fever
• Less common adverse events may include
• Urinary retention
• Urinary obstructive symptoms (e.g., urinary frequency, weak stream,etc.)
• Dysuria
• Migration of Beacon® electromagnetic transponder from implant site or
out of the body
