The Frameless Radiosurgery Components are a device used for fixation, localization and repositioning of the patient's - head and neck - head, neck, and shoulders in a linear accelerator environment for stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy procedures,
Device Description
The Frameless Radiosurgery Components only include mechanical devices, which can be repeatedly attached to the patient to keep his/her head and neck (head, neck and shoulders) in the same position for radiotherapy/radiosurgery. All components are intended to be non-invasive. The Frameless Radiosurgery Components are indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic radiotherapy may be considered to be safe and effective. They may be used also for repeated diagnostic tomographic scanning, The Frameless Radiosurgery Components can be used with other devices, which have already been cleared by the FDA (e.g. BrainLAB Robotics, BrainLAB Brainscan).
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states it includes only mechanical devices for patient fixation and repositioning, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is used for patient fixation, localization, and repositioning during radiosurgery/radiotherapy procedures, which are therapeutic, but the device itself does not directly treat a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is used for patient fixation, localization, and repositioning during stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy procedures. While it can be used for "repeated diagnostic tomographic scanning," its primary stated purpose and function are to hold the patient in position, not to diagnose. It is a mechanical positioning device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Frameless Radiosurgery Components "only include mechanical devices," indicating it is a hardware-based system for patient fixation and positioning, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Frameless Radiosurgery Components are "mechanical devices" used for "fixation, localization and repositioning of the patient's head and neck... in a linear accelerator environment for stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy procedures."
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical and related to patient positioning for treatment.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment support, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Birkenbach:

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 adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such 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 clectronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act): 21 CFR 1000-1050.
