The RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System is indicated for treatment planning and precise delivery of image-guided radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, or stereotactic radiosurgery for tumors or other targeted tissues anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated while minimizing the delivery of radiation to vital healthy tissue. The megavoltage X-ray radiation is delivered in a rotational, modulated, image-guided format in accordance with the physician-approved plan.
The RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System is also indicated for FDG-guided treatment which includes modeling, planning and precise delivery of FDG-guided radiation therapy, a type of Biology-guided Radiotherapy (BgRT), in five or fewer fractions for adults. It is indicated for tumor volumes in lung and bone subject to potential motion and positional uncertainty that have each been assessed with on-board PET/CT prior to delivery for adequate localization, sufficient FDG metabolic activity, local contrast and consistent biodistribution to meet the RMRS requirements, while minimizing the delivery of radiation to vital healthy tissue. BgRT involves the detection of signals from F18 during active beam delivery as a guide to deliver megavoltage X-ray radiotherapy in a rotational, modulated format in accordance with a physician approved treatment plan.
For complete fludeoxyglucose F18 prescribing information, refer both to the current medical imaging agent labeling and to this device labeling under "FDG Medical Imaging Agent Information".
The RefleXion X2 System is a hybrid imaging and treatment platform designed to deliver multiple forms of external beam radiation therapy, including Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiation therapy (SBRT), Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), and biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT).
The subject device (X2 System) is based on the same fundamental design as the X1 System (predicate device, DEN220014). Both systems integrate radiation delivery, imaging (CT and PET), and treatment planning capabilities into a single device.
- 6 MV photon radiotherapy delivery
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
- Kilovoltage (kV) X-ray CT imaging
- Treatment planning
The radiation delivery subsystem includes a LINAC mounted within the therapy plane, utilizing a fixed primary collimator, adjustable upper and lower jaws, and a multileaf collimator (MLC) to shape and modulate the treatment beam. PET detector arcs are also mounted within the therapy plane to detect emissions from radiotracers during treatment, enabling biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT). The kVCT imaging subsystem operates in a separate imaging plane and provides anatomical imaging for patient setup and verification prior to treatment delivery.
The X2 System incorporates several design updates relative to the X1 System, including enhancements to the PET subsystem, updates to kVCT components, hardware improvements aimed at manufacturing reliability and serviceability, software infrastructure upgrades, usability enhancements such as intrafraction PET image viewing and multi-target treatment workflows, and cybersecurity improvements. These changes do not alter the device's intended use, fundamental scientific technology, or safety and effectiveness.
No new patient-contacting materials, contamination pathways, or reprocessing requirements have been introduced. Consequently, the risk profile of the device, including the risk of infection or other adverse events, remains unchanged from the predicate device.

Device Description
The RefleXion X2 System is a hybrid imaging and treatment platform designed to deliver multiple forms of external beam radiation therapy, including Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiation therapy (SBRT), Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), and biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT).
The subject device (X2 System) is based on the same fundamental design as the X1 System (predicate device, DEN220014). Both systems integrate radiation delivery, imaging (CT and PET), and treatment planning capabilities into a single device.
- 6 MV photon radiotherapy delivery
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
- Kilovoltage (kV) X-ray CT imaging
- Treatment planning
The radiation delivery subsystem includes a LINAC mounted within the therapy plane, utilizing a fixed primary collimator, adjustable upper and lower jaws, and a multileaf collimator (MLC) to shape and modulate the treatment beam. PET detector arcs are also mounted within the therapy plane to detect emissions from radiotracers during treatment, enabling biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT). The kVCT imaging subsystem operates in a separate imaging plane and provides anatomical imaging for patient setup and verification prior to treatment delivery.
The X2 System incorporates several design updates relative to the X1 System, including enhancements to the PET subsystem, updates to kVCT components, hardware improvements aimed at manufacturing reliability and serviceability, software infrastructure upgrades, usability enhancements such as intrafraction PET image viewing and multi-target treatment workflows, and cybersecurity improvements. These changes do not alter the device's intended use, fundamental scientific technology, or safety and effectiveness.
No new patient-contacting materials, contamination pathways, or reprocessing requirements have been introduced. Consequently, the risk profile of the device, including the risk of infection or other adverse events, remains unchanged from the predicate device.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The RefleXion X2 System shares the same fundamental scientific technology and intended use as the predicate RefleXion X1 System (DEN220014), including the integration of PET imaging with radiation therapy delivery for the treatment of cancer. Both systems use image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) within the same clinical and environmental operating conditions.
The X2 System includes several technological enhancements compared to the predicate device, including an expanded PET subsystem that increases the axial field of view from 5.3 cm to 21.5 cm through the use of four detector rows instead of one, and the integration of onboard GPUs for improved image processing. The kVCT subsystem has also been updated with a new X-ray tube and high voltage

generator to enhance imaging performance and reliability. Additional changes include minor hardware updates for manufacturability and serviceability, usability improvements such as an intra-fraction PET image viewer and workflow tools for multi-target treatment, and software updates including a transition to a Linux-based operating system with improved cybersecurity controls. These modifications do not alter the core radiation delivery technology, intended use, or safety profile of the device. Therefore, the RefleXion X2 System is considered substantially equivalent to the RefleXion X1 System.
Intended use
The RefleXion X2 is a radiation therapy system that offers conventional CT-guided treatments and F18-guided treatments. It combines the functionality of a positron emission computed tomography detection system and a linear accelerator to acquire images of positron-emitting F18 for the purpose of guiding the delivery of megavoltage X-rays for oncologic treatment with radiation therapy.
Indications for Use
The RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System is indicated for treatment planning and precise delivery of image-guided radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, or stereotactic radiosurgery for tumors or other targeted tissues anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated while minimizing the delivery of radiation to vital healthy tissue. The megavoltage X-ray radiation is delivered in a rotational, modulated, image-guided format in accordance with the physician-approved plan.
The RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System is also indicated for FDG-guided treatment which includes modeling, planning and precise delivery of FDG-guided radiation therapy, a type of Biology-guided Radiotherapy (BgRT), in five or fewer fractions for adults. It is indicated for tumor volumes in lung and bone subject to potential motion and positional uncertainty that have each been assessed with on-board PET/CT prior to delivery for adequate localization, sufficient FDG metabolic activity, local contrast and consistent biodistribution to meet the RMRS requirements, while minimizing the delivery of radiation to vital healthy tissue. BgRT involves the detection of signals from F18 during active beam delivery as a guide to deliver megavoltage X-ray radiotherapy in a rotational, modulated format in accordance with a physician approved treatment plan.

All tests passed the pre-defined acceptance criteria.
Verification testing was performed to assess the performance and integration of the following subsystems:
- kVCT
- MV x-ray detectors (MVD)
- Beam generation
- Collimation
- Couch
- Treatment planning
- Treatment delivery
SCINTIX Performance Testing
To support compliance with special controls 4 (iii) and 4 (iv) per 21 CFR 892.5060, an extensive set of bench phantom tests was conducted to evaluate the dosimetric accuracy of SCINTIX treatment delivery.
Treatment plans were generated from CT and PET scans of the experimental setup followed by the treatment delivery workflow with FDG injected targets (both moving and stationary), nearby "organ at risk" (OAR) structures and background materials. Two types of phantoms were used:
- Large Anthropomorphic Phantom (LAP) with independently moving targets and OARs
- ArcCHECK with custom FDG fillable inserts
The dose delivery accuracy was measured using industry standard radiochromic film, ion chambers, the ArcCHECK phantom and post-delivery analysis of the actual machine instructions. Depending on the test conditions, one or more of the following acceptance criteria were used:
Dosimetric Criteria:
- Gamma Index - The acceptance criteria required that 90% of the comparison points (that were above 10% of the prescription dose) were within either 3% in dose or closer than 3mm in 3D space (DTA or distance to agreement) to a point with the same dose.

RefleXion Medical Inc.
Page 6 of 11
-
Dosimetric Coverage – Dose at all points measured on film within the CTV was ≥97% of prescription dose, but ≤ 130% of maximum planned dose.
-
OAR Dose - For nearby OARs, the maximum dose was measured using radiochromic film over all valid dose points and the acceptance criteria was that the dose measured on the film must be a value that is ≤3% higher than the bDVH maximum dose for that OAR as calculated by the plan.
-
Margin Loss - This is the maximum distance (measured in any plane) from the PTV contour to the 97% prescription isodose contour measured in the reference frame of the moving target.
The performance of the PET evaluation step was also evaluated.
The following scenarios were covered with the results indicating which dosimetric criteria were used:
| Test (s) & Objective Description | Results |
|---|---|
| To demonstrate the SCINTIX dose delivery accuracy for: Moving target with 3-D respiratory and 3-D non-respiratory motion; OAR independent motion | Both dosimetric coverage and margin loss criteria as well as OAR dose criteria were met. |
| To demonstrate the SCINTIX dose delivery accuracy to target(s) and measure dose to OARs: • single step shift motion • 3D step shift (3 mm in x,y, and z directions) | Both dosimetric coverage and margin loss criteria as well as OAR dose criteria were met. |
| To demonstrate the SCINTIX dose delivery accuracy for various clinical situations of targets: • increase or decrease in contrast between target and background from planning to delivery; • biodistribution changes in the target; • type of background around the target; • partially avid PET target • special edge cases (stationary) to demonstrate robustness of the SCINTIX technology under challenging situations | Gamma index met the dose accuracy criteria in most cases except as noted below. The PET evaluation did not pass and prevented delivery for cases where there was a significant change in biodistribution in the target, change in biodistribution between planning and delivery, low contrast between the target and background, a situation when an FDG-avid target moves into the BTZ, or a change in the background signal. In cases with significant anisotropic biodistribution changes resulting in a change in peak PET activity location relative to the target, the dose shifted relative to the target, and the dose accuracy criteria were not met.

| Test (s) & Objective Description | Results |
|---|---|
| Manual is required and re-planning is recommended in these cases. | |
| Test of BTZ monitor interlock to ensure treatment is halted with large motion changes (target moves outside BTZ; OAR moves into BTZ) | The BTZ monitor performed as expected, stopping the treatment if the target moved outside the BTZ or a PET-avid OAR moved into the BTZ during delivery. |
| Testing with non-periodic tracking mode to demonstrate the SCINTIX dose delivery accuracy for various clinical situations where the target is stationary or subject to sudden shifts. | For all tests with stationary targets gamma index criterion was met. For cases with sudden target shifts, dosimetric coverage and margin loss criteria were met. |
| Testing with periodic tracking mode to demonstrate the SCINTIX dose delivery accuracy to target(s) with respiratory motion patterns for various clinical situations. | Both dosimetric coverage and margin loss criteria as well as OAR dose criteria were met. |
| Tests evaluating special edge cases (moving targets with low contrast; changes in motion pattern between planning and delivery; variations in tracking mode parameter choices) | For all tests with stationary targets gamma index criterion was met. For all tests with moving targets both dosimetric coverage and margin loss criteria as well as OAR dose criteria were met. |
| Multi-target testing for integrated workflow (combination of one SCINTIX and IGRT targets; out-of-session resumptions to MTT deliveries) | Both dosimetric coverage and margin loss criteria as well as OAR dose criteria were met. |
The results of the BgRT dosimetry testing provided objective evidence that the X2 System can deliver BgRT treatments with the required dosimetric accuracy under a variety of target and environment conditions including certain edges cases.
PET Intrafraction Image Validation:
Intrafraction PET images during SCINTIX delivery are intended to visualize the average position of the target or any nearby hot (i.e., FDG-avid) OARs after each couch pass. These images help the user to consider the need for re-localization or treatment termination prior to encountering a BTZ monitor interlock.
Page 12
510(k) SUMMARY Traditional 510(k)
RMRS, RefleXion X2
RefleXion Medical Inc.
Page 8 of 11
Validation testing demonstrated that intended users can successfully interpret intrafraction PET images during real-time treatment to determine the appropriate user actions for three different clinical scenarios during a treatment fraction based on the image review criteria (alignment of the PET signal with the appropriate contours and nearby PET avid OARs):
- Continue treatment without re-localization
- Continue treatment with re-localization
- Terminate treatment
Additional bench performance testing included:
- Safety/Interlock tests to ensure risk mitigations performed as specified.
- Validation testing, including end-to-end tests, and tests to ensure the system performance checks function as intended.
Usability/Human Factors:
Usability testing of the RefleXion X2 System was conducted following FDA guidance "Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices: Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" (Feb 2016) and IEC 62366-1:2015 +A1:2020. The testing was performed to measure the usability of the RefleXion X2 System treatment planning system, treatment delivery system and medical physics workspace with representative users. The testing also demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the controls implemented for use-related hazards.
Table 2 summarizes the Usability participant demographics:

Critical tasks were identified and tested in a simulated use environment that included both normal operations and imposed scenarios. Testing included new usability features (kVCT image registration, PET intrafraction image viewer, and multi-target workflow tools). Two primary measurements were collected to assess the safety of the RefleXion X2 System: task performance data collected by study observers and participant safety-related feedback. Results of the testing confirmed the execution of all critical tasks were found to be safe and effective for the intended users, its intended uses and the use environment.

Clinical Performance Data
No new clinical testing was conducted for the RefleXion X2 System. The applicable special control requires demonstration that the system performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use, including adequate image quality for clinical interpretation, consistent performance across treatment fractions, sufficient system sensitivity, appropriate administered radiopharmaceutical dose, and evaluation of adverse events.
New clinical testing was not necessary because the RefleXion X2 System has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate RefleXion X1 System and does not introduce changes to previously available images that affect imaging performance or clinical use. Clinical performance data previously submitted for the predicate device (DEN220014), together with non-clinical bench testing, validation, and labeling review, are sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the applicable special controls and to support a determination of substantial equivalence.
Software
The RefleXion X2 System software documentation and testing provided demonstrates that the device meets all requirements outlined in the FDA guidance document "Guidance of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" for Enhanced documentation level.
Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety
Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing were performed by a third-party accredited lab per the following standards, and the results were found to be acceptable. These are the same standards from the predicate device, updated to currently recognized versions.
