Intended Use

The Elekta Synergy™ System is intended to be used for radiation therapy treatment of malignant neoplastic diseases, as determined by a licensed medical practitioner.

Device Description

The Elekta Synergy™ System is an enhancement to the previously reported Precise Treatment Systems Digital Accelerator (formally designated the SL/SLi Series, D.C. K963624) and its commercially available options.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Elekta Synergy™ System as an enhancement to a previously reported device (Precise Treatment Systems Digital Accelerator, K963624) and its commercially available options. However, it does not include detailed information regarding specific acceptance criteria, device performance, a study conducted to prove it meets acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment methods in the way typically expected for a detailed product validation.

Instead, the document focuses on:

  • Safety and Effectiveness Justification: Stating that the device does not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns compared to its predicate device and is considered an enhancement.
  • Compliance with Standards: Highlighting compliance with international safety standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-1), CE mark, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC Annex II, and US 21 CFR 820.
  • Quality Management System: Describing established and documented Quality Management System, internal audits, and external GMP audits by SGS Yarsley and FDA.
  • Hazard Analysis: Concluding that the device does not introduce new hazards, and the level of concern for the device is "Major."
  • Substantial Equivalence: The FDA letter confirms the device's substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, allowing it to be marketed.

Given the information, a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance cannot be generated with specific numerical values for performance metrics. The document generally asserts safety and effectiveness without providing quantitative clinical study results for the new components of the Elekta Synergy™ system.

Therefore, many sections of your request cannot be fulfilled due to the absence of this information in the provided text.

Here's what can be extracted and what information is missing:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance Criteria (Implied/General)Reported Device Performance (Summary)
Safety ProfileDevice does not raise additional types of safety considerations compared to predicate.
EffectivenessDevice does not raise additional types of effectiveness considerations; considered an enhancement to predicate.
Compliance with StandardsComplies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-1, CE mark, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, MDD 93/42/EEC Annex II, US 21 CFR 820.
HazardsHazard analysis concluded no new types of safety or effectiveness considerations.
Quality ManagementEstablished and documented QMS, subject to internal and external audits.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not provided. The document does not describe a specific test set or clinical study for the new device components, but rather relies on the predicate device's established safety and effectiveness and compliance with regulatory standards.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not provided. No explicit "ground truth" establishment for a test set is mentioned.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not provided. No test set or adjudication method is described.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not provided. This is not an AI-assisted device; it's a radiation therapy system. No MRMC study is mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This isn't an algorithm-only device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not explicitly stated for the "Elekta Synergy™ System" components. The safety and effectiveness are based on the proven track record of the predicate device (Precise Treatment Systems Digital Accelerator) and compliance with regulatory/quality standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable / Not provided. The document doesn't describe a machine learning model with a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable / Not provided. The document doesn't describe a machine learning model with a training set or ground truth establishment for it.

In summary, the provided text is a summary of safety and effectiveness for a 510(k) submission, emphasizing regulatory compliance and substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than detailed performance metrics from a comparative clinical trial for a novel device.

OCT 2 3 2003

Elekta Limited hereby provide the following material summarising safety and effectiveness information for the Elekta Synergy™ System. This information is summarised as follows: -

    1. The Elekta Synergy™ System is an enhancement to the previously reported Precise Treatment Systems Digital Accelerator (formally designated the SL/SLi Series, D.C. K963624) and its commercially available options.
      These devices have an established and proven track record for safety. The primary reason for the introduction of this product is to improve information available to allow the set up of the patient position as part of the treatment process. The Elekta Synergy " System does not raise additional types of safety or effectiveness considerations.
    1. It is our opinion that the Elekta Synergy™ System does not have technological characteristics that raise additional types of safety or effectiveness questions, and that we consider it an enhancement to the previously cleared devices within the Elekta product range.
    1. The accompanying documents provided for the user contain comprehensive information to ensure safe and effective use. Past experience with substantially equivalent predicate devices has shown our device to be safe and effective when used as directed by the accompanying documents provided for the user.
    1. The components of the Elekta Synergy™ System are subject to compliance testing as defined in the internationally recognised safety standards IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-1.
    1. The components of the Elekta Synergy™ System are designed to bear the CE mark affirming compliance with all relevant European Directives in force, in particular the European Medical Device Directive. As a result of this, products may be sold freely without restriction throughout the entire European Union.
    1. The Elekta Limited Quality Management System has been established to satisfy the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 13485, the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC Annex II and US 21 CFR 820. Elekta Limited has developed the Elekta Synergy™ System using an established and documented Quality Management System.

§ 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.
