Intended Use
SPOT PRO is a software application for Brachytherapy Treatment Planning, for the treatment of cancer, i.e. intercavitary, interstitial, intraluminal, involving radioactive sources.
Device Description
SPOT PRO 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 radioactive seeds implant in the prostate of the patient. The software program provides the physician wih anatomical and dosimetric information, to determine the positioning and loading of the radioactive sources, prior to insertion. The software 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 also provides the treatment time and dose distribution for the specified loading. From this the information the patient can be treated with radioactive sources. Modifications to SPOT previously cleared K992303, have been made to add functionality for: . Post Planning functionality . Auto activation dwell positions . Auto contouring . Usage of CT / MR images acquired by Dicom 3 Import/Export . The Post Planning functionality has been derived from Plato BPS K983343. The Dicom 3 Import/Export has been derived from Plato External Beam K964206. The software runs on a Windows NT platform.
More Information

Unknown
The description mentions "Auto contouring" which could potentially utilize AI/ML, but the summary provides no further details or explicit mention of AI/ML technologies.

No.
This device is a treatment planning software for medical devices used in brachytherapy, not a therapeutic device itself.

No

This device is a treatment planning system for brachytherapy, which aids in determining the positioning and loading of radioactive sources for cancer treatment. It provides anatomical and dosimetric information and plan evaluation tools, but it does not diagnose a disease or condition.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "SPOT PRO is a software application" and "The software program provides...". While it interacts with imaging modalities and is used in conjunction with brachytherapy hardware (radioactive sources), the device itself, as described in the summary, is the software for planning and analysis. There is no mention of accompanying hardware being part of the device submission.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • SPOT PRO's Function: SPOT PRO is a software application used for treatment planning in brachytherapy. It uses imaging data (ultrasound, CT, MR) to help physicians determine the placement and dosage of radioactive sources for cancer treatment. It does not analyze biological specimens from the patient.

Therefore, SPOT PRO falls under the category of medical device software used for treatment planning, 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.
