Helax-TMS is a 3D radiotherapy treatment planning system for radiation dose planning, but not treatment, of patients undergoing external beam or brachytherapy treatment in the oncology clinic. The system is designed to lead the user through a logical flow planning process.
Based on quality assured radiation therapy input data Helax-TMS is used to plan radiation treatments with:
- Linear accelerators with X-ray energies from 4 to 50MV and electron energies from 4 to 50 MeV, proton energies from 1 to 275 MeV as well as cobalt-60 units. Helax-TMS will plan 3D radiotherapy treatment approaches of combined modality plans, asymmetric and non-coplanar fields; total body irradiation; multi-leaf collimators; motorised and dynamic wedges; customised blocking; compensating filters; and bolus.
- Brachytherapy units for patients undergoing interstitial or intracavitary treatment in the oncology clinic.
Export capabilities exists as part of Helax-TMS to verify beam and patient data, dose planning results, and provide on-line information to block-cutting devices and milling machines, multi-leaf collimator control units, as well as record and verify systems.
Helax TMS is a 3D Radiotherapy Treatment Planning (RTP) system for radiation dose planning of patients undergoing external beam and brachytherapy treatment in the Oncology clinic. Helax-TMS is a 3-D system, using modern algorithms for dose calculations. The user has the option of selecting either a convolution/superposition pencil beam or a Collapsed Cone algorithm for photons, a Gaussian pencil beam model for electrons, and a proton dose calculation. A brachytherapy module is integrated into Helax-TMS for treatment modeling of interstitial and intracavity brachytherapy techniques. The system software is designed to lead the user through a logical flow planning process.

Dear Mr. Martell:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
