Intended Use
MillComp is used to manufacture compensators that are designed for radiation therapy treatment beams. MillComp may be used with any system that can design compensators such that the thickness over the area of the beam is specified at some known source to compensator distance in a plane perpendicular to the central axis. The thickness on an evenly spaced grid may be specified on divergent rays or on rays perpendicular to the plane of the compensator which is perpendicular to the central ray. If on divergent rays, the milled surface may be specified as towards the x-ray source or as towards the patient.
Device Description
MillComp is a program that will write the tool path program to mill radiation therapy compensators on an end mill. Compensators are attenuators that are to be inserted into the x-ray beams for the purpose of modifying the field distribution over the area of the treatment beam. MillComp takes as input a compensator specification. The compensator specification will come from multiple sources, such as current therapy treatment planning systems, and is converted into a standard specification file format that MillComp can read. The conversion programs to read a compensator specification and write out the standard file format will be written on an as need basis according to the customer's needs. MillComp will read the specification file, generate the surface defined in the specification, and compute the tool paths necessary to cut the surface in solid lead, cerrobend, or other material, on a three axis end milling machine.

No
The description focuses on deterministic processes for generating tool paths based on a predefined compensator specification, with no mention of learning, adaptation, or data-driven decision making characteristic of AI/ML.

No
Explanation: MillComp is a program used to manufacture compensators for radiation therapy, not a device that directly applies therapy. It is a manufacturing tool, not a therapeutic device.

No

MillComp is described as a program that generates tool paths to manufacture radiation therapy compensators, which are devices used to modify treatment beams. It does not perform any diagnostic function of identifying or characterizing a disease or medical condition.

Yes

The device is described as a "program" that takes a compensator specification as input and generates tool paths for a milling machine. It does not mention any hardware components being part of the device itself, only that it interacts with external systems (treatment planning systems) and outputs data for a milling machine.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • MillComp's Function: MillComp is a software program used to manufacture physical compensators for radiation therapy. These compensators are placed in the radiation beam outside the patient's body to modify the radiation dose distribution.
  • No Specimen Analysis: MillComp does not analyze any biological specimens from a patient. Its input is a compensator specification, and its output is a tool path program for a milling machine.

Therefore, MillComp falls under the category of a medical device used in the delivery of radiation therapy, but it is not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 892.5050 Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system.

(a)
Identification. A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II. When intended for use as a quality control system, the film dosimetry system (film scanning system) included as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
