Intended Use
The Varian Eclipse device is used to plan photon and electron radiation therapy treatments employing linear accelerators and other similar radiotherapy devices with xray energies from 1 -- 50MV, as well as Cobalt-60 and electron energies from 1 -- 50MeV. Eclipse will plan the 3D radiotherapy treatment approaches to combined modality plans, coplanar and non-coplanar fields, static and ARC fields, beam modifiers and beam intensity modulators. Eclipse includes also tools for treatment preparation (diagnostic image analysis, contouring and segmentation) and plan review. As part of the VARiS Vision System, Eclipse integrates the treatment planning in overall therapy process, while taking advantage of the Varian Vision database.
Device Description
The Varian Eclipse is a computer-based device used for calculating and displaying prospective or verification treatment plans for particular patient undergoing a course of radiation therapy. The system consists of a computer with graphics display, plotter output, film scanner and backlit digitizer input. Eclipse provides the capabilities diagnostic image analysis, contouring and segmentation and dosimetric plan review. In addition Eclipse provides tools for photon and electron dose calculation and photon dose compensation. Dose distribution from external beam, intracavitary and interstitial plans (created in BrachyVision [K992762], which can be sold as an option with Eclipse) can be combined together. Eclipse integrates treatment planning with Varian Vision applications.
More Information

No
The summary describes a computer-based treatment planning system with standard image analysis, contouring, and dose calculation tools, but does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is used for planning and reviewing radiation therapy treatments, not for directly administering therapy.

No

The device is used for treatment planning in radiation therapy, which is a therapeutic process. While it includes tools for diagnostic image analysis, contouring, and segmentation, its primary function is to plan treatments, not to provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a computer with graphics display, plotter output, film scanner, and backlit digitizer input, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided text, the Varian Eclipse device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for planning radiation therapy treatments for patients. This involves analyzing diagnostic images, contouring anatomical structures, and calculating dose distributions for external beam radiation.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by detailing its function as a computer-based system for calculating and displaying treatment plans. It mentions image analysis and dose calculation, all related to planning a medical treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Varian Eclipse does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The device is a medical device used for treatment planning, which is a different category than IVD.

(a)
Identification. A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Re: K030981 Trade/Device Name: Eclipse Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.5050 Regulation Name: Medical charge-particle radiation therapy system Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 MUJ Dated: March 27, 2003 Received: March 28, 2003

Dear Ms. Tran:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of June 24, 2003 regarding the incorrect product code. In the original letter the product code was stated as LNH and MUJ, it should have been just MUJ. This error has been corrected in our files.

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 (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 adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4654. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at their toll free number (800) 638-2041 or at (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
