The summary describes a radiation therapy system with planning, imaging, and delivery capabilities. While it involves complex calculations for treatment planning and image processing for patient positioning, there is no mention of AI or ML techniques being used in these processes. The description focuses on traditional algorithms and hardware components.
Yes
The device is intended for the delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of cancer, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is a radiation therapy system for treating cancer using IMRT. While it uses an MVCT scan for patient positioning, the text explicitly states, "The MVCT image is not for diagnostic use." This indicates its primary function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines significant hardware components, including a linear accelerator, gantry, multi-leaf collimator, and detector, which are integral to the system's function of delivering radiation therapy. While software is involved in planning and control, the device is fundamentally a hardware-based radiation therapy system.
Based on the provided text, the TomoTherapy HI-ART System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for the "planning and delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of cancer." This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a radiation therapy system with components like a linear accelerator, gantry, and MLC for delivering radiation. While it utilizes imaging (diagnostic CT and MVCT), the MVCT is explicitly stated as "not for diagnostic use" and is used for patient positioning.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The TomoTherapy HI-ART System does not perform these functions.
The system is a medical device used for radiation therapy, which is a form of treatment.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TomoTherapy HI-ART System is intended to be used as an integrated system for the planning and delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of cancer. The HI-ART System provides precise delivery of radiation to tumors while minimizing the delivery of radiation to vital healthy tissue.
The HI-ART System's planning station is intended to be used by the physician/oncologist to prescribe a radiation therapy plan for a particular patient. The HI-ART System then calculates the treatment plan which the physician reviews and approves.
The HI-ART system's operator station and status console is then intended to be used by the therapist to select and implement the patient's treatment plan. The treatment process will begin by performing an MVCT scan (a CT using the onboard linear accelerator as the radiation source). This MVCT image will confirm that the patient's position is correct for the radiation therapy as well as assist in patient re- positioning when necessary. The MVCT image is not for diagnostic use.
When patient positioning is complete, the HI-ART System is then intended to be used by the therapist to confirm and deliver the selected treatment plan. The HI-ART System delivers the radiation therapy treatment in accordance with the physician approved plan using IMRT techniques delivered in a helical tomographic pattern.

Device Description
The TomoTherapy HI-ART System is a radiation therapy system that integrates planning, dose calculation, megavoltage CT scanning, and helical radiation therapy treatment capabilities into a single comprehensive IMRT system.
The HI-ART System's planning station is used by the physician to prescribe and enter the radiation therapy plan. The patient's diagnostic CT image is imported via a DICOM protocol from another diagnostic CT device. The regions of interest, regions to avoid, and other prescribing information are entered in a manner that is similar to other commercially available planning systems.
The HI-ART System utilizes a 6 MV linear accelerator as the radiation source. The linear accelerator along with the primary collimator, multi-leaf collimator (MLC), xenon detector, various control devices and power supplies are mounted on a rotating gantry, much like a CT gantry. During treatment or imaging, the patient is positioned on the couch support, and the couch moves axially through the bore of the gantry, and the radiation is delivered in a helical pattern.
The primary collimator and the MLC control the beam dimensions during radiation delivery so that the range of collimated beam size can vary from 0 to 400 mm wide by 5 to 45 mm at the isocenter. The MLC is constructed of 64 tungsten leaves that open and close as determined by the radiation therapy plan. The intensity of the radiation beam is proportional to the length of time that a particular leaf is open. The opening and closing of various leaves as the radiation is delivered in this helical pattern allows for an IMRT plan to be delivered with precise control. The result is a highly conformal dose to the region of interest with low doses to surrounding healthy tissue.
Because the HI-ART System is operating in a helical mode similar to CT systems, it inherently has the ability to obtain a CT image. The system utilizes the linear accelerator to obtain a megavoltage (MVCT) scan of the region of interest prior to the delivery of radiation therapy. This MVCT image is then used in a non-diagnostic mode to ascertain that the patient is correctly positioned prior to treatment. The radiation dose to the patient from an MVCT scan is comparable to diagnostic CT or portal imaging.

4.3 Description
The TomoTherapy HI-ART System is a radiation therapy system that integrates planning, dose calculation, megavoltage CT scanning, and helical radiation therapy treatment capabilities into a single comprehensive IMRT system.

The patient's diagnostic CT image is imported via a DICOM protocol from another diagnostic CT device. The regions of interest, regions to avoid, and other prescribing information are entered in a manner that is similar to other commercially available planning systems.
The HI-ART System utilizes a 6 MV linear accelerator as the radiation source. The Ine III TRY byeath along with the primary collimator, multi-leaf collimator (MLC), xenon detector, various control devices and power supplies are mounted on a rotating gantry, much like a CT gantry. During treatment or imaging, the patient is positioned on the couch support, and the couch moves axially through the bore of the gantry, and the radiation is delivered in a helical pattern.
The primary collimator and the MLC control the beam dimensions during radiation delivery so that the range of collimated beam size can vary from 0 to 400 mm wide by 5 to 45 mm at the isocenter. The MLC is constructed of 64 tungsten leaves that open and close as determined by the radiation therapy plan.

This MVCT image is then used in a non-diagnostic mode to ascertain that the patient is correctly positioned prior to treatment. The radiation dose to the patient from an MVCT scan is comparable to diagnostic CT or portal imaging.
Safety Considerations 4.4
The HI-ART System has several characteristics that promote its safety – no beam blocks are used that can fall off onto the patient; the rotating gantry is covered so that the patient cannot contact moving gantry parts; the linear accelerator operates in photon mode only
2
so inadvertent electron exposure is virtually eliminated; MVCT allows for reliable patient positioning.
Also, the HI-ART System consists of components similar to those already commercially marketed, including the 6 MV linear accelerator, rotating gantry, patient couch and CT imaging devices.
Standards Compliance 4.5
The HI-ART System is designed to comply with relevant sections of the IEC 60601-1 series safety standards.
Validation 4.6
The HI-ART System was extensively validated for system functionality, including planning, imaging, delivery, database management, DICOM communications, etc. Test tools utilized in this testing included IMRT phantoms, ion chambers and other test phantoms.
4.7 Conclusion
Validation and verification testing of the HI-ART System demonstrate the device is safe and effective for its intended use. The HI-ART System is substantially equivalent to other commercially marketed systems for the various capabilities of the HI-ART
