1. INTRODUCTION
Description
The Node-O-ScopeTM system is designed to detect and quantify Technetium-99m
radiotracer in radio-guided localization medical procedures. A numeric display and
audible signal convey the amount of radiation detected, allowing the user to localize
radiolabeled tissue.
The system is battery-powered, wireless, and portable. It consists of the Node-OScopeTM S10 Gamma Probe and the Node-O-ScopeTM T10 User Feedback Unit.
Intended Use
For the detection and quantification of gamma radiation from Tc-99m radionuclide
in the body or tissues.
Indications for Use
Use in non-imaging procedures to measure relative amounts of Tc-99m radionuclide
absorbed by a particular organ or body region. For transcutaneous, open surgical,
and laparoscopic use.
Manufacture and Distribution
The system is manufactured by Cokiya Incorporated. Please direct all inquiries
about the Node-O-ScopeTM system to Cokiya Incorporated. The following are
trademarks of Cokiya Incorporated: Node-O-ScopeTM system and Node-O-ScopeTM
when used in context with the above.

2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Node-O-ScopeTM T10 User Feedback Unit is used with the Node-O-ScopeTM S10
Probe. A medical-grade battery charger is provided with the system for recharging.
User Feedback Unit
The User Feedback Unit is comprised of a tablet computer running the Cokiya NodeO-ScopeTM application, a loudspeaker, and an IV pole clamp. It includes a medicalgrade Battery Charger for recharging. It communicates bi-directionally with the
Node-O-ScopeTM Probe over a Bluetooth Low Energy (‘BLE’) wireless link.
The User Feedback Unit provides displays, sound feedback, and redundant controls
for operating the probe.

Node-O-Scope System User Manual
The rate of gamma photons entering the Probe is displayed on the User Feedback
Unit in digits and with a log-scale rate-meter. This rate is also represented by the
audio feedback coming from the speaker.
The User Feedback Unit controls are accessed on the touch pad of the display or on
the top of the User Feedback Unit. The ON/OFF control is located on the top left of
the User Feedback Unit.
Node-O-ScopeTM Probe
The wireless Node-O-ScopeTM Probe is battery-powered (4.5V). It is completely
sealed and supplied sterile for a single-patient use in a TyvekTM peel-pouch. The
pouch is designed for sterile handoff. The Probe can also be used in the pouch
without breaking the seal prior to setting up the sterile field.
The Probe detects and quantifies gamma rays (‘counts’) from Tc-99m isotope and
communicates this information to the User Feedback Unit over the wireless link for
user feedback. The Probe keypad provides the user with control of:
activation status,
detection energy window mode*,
audio feedback volume,
count-rate range scaling,
voiced reporting of instantaneous count rate feedback, and
voiced reporting of integrated count rate feedback*.
*see ‘Using the Controls’, Section 4.
3. PRECAUTIONS
General
Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale and use by, or on the order of,
a physician.
