Intended Use
Real Time HDR is a software application for Brachytherapy Treatment Planning, for the treatment of cancer, i.e. intercavitary, interstitial, intraluminal, involving radioactive sources.
Device Description
Real Time HDR (RT HDR) is a "real time" treatment planning system for brachytherapy especially meant for treatment of cancer in the prostate. Direct 3D Ultrasound imaging of the treatment gives the physician the possibility to update the planning of the dwell positions of the source in the prostate of the patient. The program provides a variety of plan evaluation tools to assist in generating the most optimal dose distribution, i.e. dose volume histograms, dose verification points and dose profiles. The software program provides the physician wih anatomical and dosimetric information, to determine the positioning and loading of the radioactive sources, prior to radiation treatment. The program also provides the treatment time and dose distribution for the specified loading. From this the information the patient can be treated with the dwell positions of the source. Modifications to SPOT previously cleared K992303, have been made to add functionality for: - o Post Planning , ----- - . Auto activation dwell positions The Ultrasound acquisitation has been changed form longitidinal to transversal. The Post Planning functionality has been derived from Plato BPS K983343. The Dicom 3 Import/Export has been derived from Plato External Beam K964206. Real Time HDR (RT HDR) is an accessory to the microSelectron-HDR (V2). The program constists of two modules: - Treatment Planning Software: Real Time HDR ● - Database: Smoothbase ● The software runs on a Windows 2000 platform.
More Information

No
The description focuses on traditional treatment planning functionalities, image processing, and database management. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor is there any description of training or test sets which are typical for AI/ML devices. The modifications mentioned are related to specific functionalities like post-planning and auto activation of dwell positions, which are not inherently AI/ML.

No
The device is a software application for brachytherapy treatment planning, assisting in determining the positioning and loading of radioactive sources for cancer treatment, rather than directly treating the disease.

No

This device is a treatment planning system for brachytherapy and provides tools for planning and evaluating dose distribution for cancer treatment, not for diagnosing cancer or other conditions.

Yes

The device is described as a "software application" and a "software program" that runs on a Windows platform. While it is an accessory to a hardware device (microSelectron-HDR), the 510(k) summary focuses solely on the software's functionality for treatment planning and does not describe any hardware components of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: Real Time HDR is a software application used for treatment planning in brachytherapy. It uses imaging data (3D Ultrasound) and anatomical/dosimetric information to help physicians determine the positioning and loading of radioactive sources for cancer treatment.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of samples taken from the patient's body. The software processes imaging data and treatment parameters, not biological samples.

Therefore, Real Time HDR falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment planning, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
