Intended Use
SIMUPLAN Treatment Planning System is intended for use in preparing individual treatment plans for patients undergoing radiation therapy treatment with external beam or brachytherapy. The program output does not directly treat the patient, all information must be confirmed by the physician prior to treatment.
Device Description
SIMUPLAN Treatment Planning System is a computer based software that runs on a MacIntosh platform. The planning system is comprised of 2 main components; external beam and brachytherapy. The patients' transverse slices (i.e. CT, MR) or x-ray films are imported to the system from various methods: DICOM, disk, video, scanner. From this data the patient anatomical structures and tumor site is contoured in order to generate a 3D patient model, or x-ray films displaying the implant area are imported for standard brachytherapy treatment planning. The following step in the process will be to define the treatment machine, applicators, template, seed location, or isocenter. From this information the user will select the appropriate source (brachytherapy) or beam data (linear accelerators) to be used for the planning session. Based on the target volume or reconstructed implant, the treatment source (external beam or radioactive source) and prescription dose the treatment plan will be calculated and a dose distribution will be displayed. The physician is capable of fine tuning this treatment plan before final output. The approved treatment plan is then printed out, a program card written (remote afterloading) and a hard copy of the isodose distribution is prepared for the patients' permanent record. The patient data is then saved under a unique file name in the patient data base. The program output does not directly treat the patient, all information must be confirmed by the physician prior to treatment.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details standard treatment planning software functionalities like importing images, contouring structures, defining treatment parameters, calculating dose distributions, and physician review. There is no mention of AI/ML techniques for tasks like automated contouring, treatment plan optimization using learning algorithms, or predictive modeling. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
Explanation: The device is a treatment planning system used to create individual treatment plans for radiation therapy. It does not directly treat the patient; instead, it generates information that must be confirmed by a physician before treatment. Therefore, it is not a therapeutic device itself, but rather a tool used in the planning phase of therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is a treatment planning system used to prepare individual treatment plans for radiation therapy. It does not provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition. The output from the device, which includes dose distribution, is used for treatment, not diagnosis. Additionally, the description explicitly states the program output does not directly treat the patient and all information must be confirmed by the physician prior to treatment, meaning it is a tool for treatment planning rather than diagnosis.

Yes

The device is described as "a computer based software that runs on a MacIntosh platform" and its function is treatment planning based on imported imaging data. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part 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 medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • SIMUPLAN's Function: SIMUPLAN is a treatment planning system for radiation therapy. It uses medical images (CT, MR, x-ray) to create a plan for delivering radiation to a patient. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "preparing individual treatment plans for patients undergoing radiation therapy treatment." This is a planning tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

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

Dear Dr. Pla:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adultcration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
