No
The description focuses on a physical device made of high-density materials for beam modification, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a "beam modifying agent" in radiation therapy to minimize exposure to normal tissue, not as a direct therapeutic device itself.
No
The device is described as a "beam modifying agent" used to "differentially attenuate the transmitted radiation beam" in radiation therapy. Its function is to modify the treatment beam, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "physical device constructed of high-density materials," indicating it is a hardware component, not software only.
Based on the provided information, the AKTINA Medical Physics Corporation ABC System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "beam modifying agent" in "Radiation Therapy as beam modifying agent." This involves physically altering a radiation beam used for treatment.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "physical device constructed of high-density materials that differentially attenuate the transmitted radiation beam." This is a physical object used in a treatment process.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide information about a person's health status. The AKTINA ABC System is a therapeutic device used to modify radiation beams during cancer treatment.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AKTINA Medical Physics Corporation ABC System is intended for use in Radiation Therapy as beam modifying agent. It is only for use in external beam radiation therapy with photon beams.
In radiation therapy, it is often desirable to modify the intensity or penetrating depth of a treatment beam so as to minimize radiation exposure to normal tissue. Many devices have and are used for this function including but not limited to partial beam blocks, tissue compensating filters, the most commonly, the wedge. This physical device is constructed of high-density materials that the most commonly, the weage. The payed block, differentially attenuate the transmitted radiation beam. When mabilities a weegs that is transmitted through the wedge will have a sloped intensity at The resulting radiation boan that is an un-attenuated beam, which is uniform and consistent in intensity across the beam at the patient's surface. These wedges are designed for use only as a intensity across are boaith photon beams in Radiation Therapy external beam treatments.

§ 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.
