Based on the provided text, the ONCOR Avant-Garde linear accelerator system, including its components OPTIVUE, OPTIFOCUS, and the COHERENCE Workspaces, is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The primary intended use is the delivery of x-ray radiation for therapeutic treatment of cancer. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one performed in vitro (outside the living body).
- Function of Components:
- ONCOR Avant-Garde: Delivers radiation for treatment.
- OPTIVUE (EPID): Used for verification of treatment field and patient positioning, and exit dose verification. While it uses imaging, its purpose is to ensure the accuracy of the treatment, not to diagnose a condition from a biological sample.
- OPTIFOCUS (MLC): Assists in shaping the radiation beam during treatment.
- COHERENCE Workspaces: Manage patient data, facilitate treatment planning and delivery, and review treatment parameters. While the Oncologist Workspace includes tools to aid in diagnosis and staging, this is done in the context of planning and reviewing radiation therapy, not through in vitro testing of biological samples.
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is defined as a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The ONCOR Avant-Garde and its components do not perform such examinations.
In summary, the ONCOR Avant-Garde system is a therapeutic device used for delivering radiation treatment, with components that aid in the planning, verification, and delivery of that treatment. It does not perform in vitro diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of the ONCOR Avant-Garde linear accelerator system is to deliver x-ray radiation for therapeutic treatment of cancer. The ONCOR Avant-Garde includes an Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) that will be marketed as OPTIVUE and is used for the verification of the treatment field and shielding blocks in relation to patient positioning markers and/or anatomical landmarks in radiotherapy treatment. OPTIVUE will also allow for verification of the exit dose in radiotherapy treatment. Additionally, the ONCOR Avant-Garde includes an 82 leaf multi-leaf collimator that will be marketed as OPTIFOCUS. The OPTIFOCUS MLC is provided to assist the radiation oncologist in the delivery of radiation to defined target volumes while sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation. In a static mode, the MLC performs the same function as the customized shadow blocks. In a dynamic mode, a series of MLC leaf positions can be indexed to either dose fraction or gantry angle to create a changing beam shape while the radiation beam is on to create a three dimensional dose distribution.
The COHERENCE Workspaces (Therapist and Oncologist) encompasses a number of syngo software applications for viewing, processing, filming, and archiving of medical images. The COHERENCE Therapist and Oncologist Workspaces are two of the software applications that are offered on the syngo workstation (K010938). COHERENCE Therapist Workspace is included in the ONCOR Avant-Garde product. The Therapist Workspace permits patient data management, patient selection/setup, patient positioning verification, treatment delivery/verification, and treatment recording.
The COHERENCE Oncologist Workspace permits localization, contouring, image conditioning, and review of treatment parameters. In addition, it includes tools and administrative functions to aid in the diagnosis, staging, and prescription of radiation therapy.

Device Description
The ONCOR Avant-Garde is a medical linear accelerator based on the previously cleared PRIMUS design architecture (K993425) and includes an amorphous Silicon (aSi) flat panel electronic portal imaging device (EPID), an 82 leaf multi-leaf collimator (MLC), and COHERENCE Therapist Workspace software.
The aSi flat panel (marketed as OPTIVUE) is integrated into the ONCOR Avant-Garde system and aids in positioning verification by visualizing patient positioning markers and/or anatomical references. The flat panel detects radiation from the linear accelerator, this information is then interpreted via software to obtain visualization of patient positioning markers and/or anatomical structures. The OPTIVUE flat panel detector is a digital x-ray camera comprised of sensors. These sensors are amorphous Silicon (aSi) photo diodes that are placed on a glass substrate with scintillator coating. The incident x-rays are converted by the scintillator screen. The converted x-ray signals are then amplified and converted to a digital format. This digital formatted data is then transmitted to the data acquisition unit or frame grabber and interpreted into positioning images. The OPTIVUE includes automated deployment of the flat panel that eliminates the need to enter the treatment room to acquire portal images, thus improving the efficiency of patient treatments.
The 82 leaf multi-leaf collimator (marketed as OPTIFOCUS) is integrated into the ONCOR Avant-Garde system and allows for user definable optimization of resolution for target conformation. The OPTIFOCUS is based on the same architectural design as the previously cleared 58 leaf MLC (K953894). The increase in the number of leaves in the collimator allows for increased conformal shape resolution.
The COHERENCE Workspace software is based on the architecture of the previously cleared syngo software (K010938) and allows for a standard graphical user interface across Siemens medical products.
The COHERENCE Therapist Workspace software integrates the linear accelerator processes of setup. setup verification, patient positioning verification, treatment delivery, and recording. The COHERENCE Therapist Workspace provides a simple interface for 2D. 3D. and volumetric targeting of the radiation treatment. Patient management is facilitated by easy access to all pertinent patient data with the integration of previously cleared functionality. The Therapist Workspace integrates various functions from previously cleared products (ie. VSIM marketed as COHERENCE Dosimetrist (K022036), syngo Workstation (K010938), and LANTIS Treatstation marketed as PRIMEVIEW (K972275). The COHERENCE Therapist Workspace is designed to provide the necessary tools to facilitate the Therapist in their daily clinical workflow.
The COHERENCE Oncologist Workspace software is an option for the ONCOR Avant-Garde linear accelerator and provides access to patient data, images, and tools needed to help facilitate the Oncologist in performing accurate and timely clinical decisions. Multi-modality images can be loaded and manipulated with the advanced tools allowing for efficient localization and contouring of tumors and critical anatomical structures. The COHERENCE Oncologist Workspace provides access to all radiation therapy plans, visualization of suggested alternate plans, and comparisons with prior treatment plan data. In addition, it provides for treatment verification of patients with access to pertinent treatment data allowing for full treatment review. The COHERENCE Oncologist Workspace is based on the previously cleared syngo architecture (K010938). The COHERENCE Oncologist Workspace is also based on functionality cleared under VSIM via K022036 and permits localization, contouring, image conditioning, and review of treatment parameters. In addition, there are tools and administrative functions to aid in the diagnosis, staging, and prescription of radiation therapy. The COHERENCE Oncologist Workspace is designed to provide the necessary tools to facilitate the Radiation Oncologist in their daily clinical workflow.
