The document describes a software module for verifying dose calculations in brachytherapy planning. It focuses on calculation verification and does not mention any AI or ML techniques for image analysis, prediction, or optimization. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
No
The device, BrachyCheck, is a software module used for quality assurance to verify dose calculations from brachytherapy treatment planning systems, not to directly treat patients.
No
This device is described as software that "verifies the monitor unit or dose calculated by the primary treatment planning system" and performs "quality assurance as part of good treatment protocol to have a second means to verify the accuracy of the primary calculation." It is used in radiation therapy planning to confirm calculations, not to diagnose a patient's medical condition.
Yes
The device is described as an "optional software module" that operates on a personal computer and does not connect to or control any radiation hardware device. Its function is solely to perform dose calculations for verification purposes.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The BrachyCheck module, as described, is a software tool used to verify dose calculations performed by a brachytherapy treatment planning system. It operates on a computer and uses data from treatment plans (which may be derived from imaging like x-rays or CT scans) to perform these calculations.
- Lack of Specimen Handling: The device does not interact with or analyze any biological specimens from a patient. Its function is purely computational, focused on validating treatment parameters.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for quality assurance in radiation therapy planning, specifically verifying dose calculations for brachytherapy procedures. This is a quality control step in the treatment planning process, not a diagnostic test performed on a patient sample.
Therefore, the BrachyCheck module falls under the category of a medical device software used in the planning and quality assurance of radiation therapy, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use for the BrachyCheck module is to calculate dose and dwell times for the purpose of validating a dose previously calculated by a primary brachytherapy treatment planning system . The intended use is as a quality assurance tool only and not as a treatment planning device.
In a radiation therapy department, a course of patient treatment is prescribed by a written directive from a radiation oncologist. Certain parameters from this directive are used by the medical dosimetrist and/or medical physicist along with x-rays or CT scans where applicable to plan a course of treatment. Typically a radiation treatment planning system is used to properly define the precise location and dose distribution for the radiation therapy. As part of the planning process monitor unit settings and dose to a volume or specific anatomical points will be generated.
The MuCheck - Monitor Unit/Dose validation Software verifies the monitor unit or dose calculated by the primary treatment planning system. MuCheck can also be used to calculate the monitor or dose for simple plans that do not require the use of the primary treatment planning system.
The intended use of the MuCheck software has been extended by the addition of an optional module called BrachyCheck. Brachycheck is used to verify brachytherapy procedures(implants using radioactive sources) performed by a brachytherapy treatment planning system. As part of the planning process, dwell positions will be generated and dose contributions from these dwell positions to specified anatomical points will be calculated.
The BrachyCheck module (device under review) verifies the dose calculated to the specified points by the primary treatment planning system. It serves as quality assurance as part of good treatment protocol to have a second means to verify the accuracy of the primary calculation.

planning system . The intended use is as a quality assurance tool only and not as a treatment planning device.
In a radiation therapy department quality assurance is an important part of patient care. The ability to provide a secondary check for the primary dose calculation is part of good treatment protocol as well being a recommendation by AAPM Task Group 43. BrachyCheck provides this very important quality assurance function.
Safety and Effectiveness:
The staff at Oncology Data Systems includes a certified medical dosimetrist with over 34 years of clinical experience. The computer programming and design has been provided by a programming staff with combined experience of over 48 years in the design and development of systems. The combined expertise as well as conformance to the GMP regulations helped to insure that the finished product is safe and effective to use.
A comprehensive users manual provides extensive documentation for the user. Optional system startup and training is provided as part of the service provided by Oncology Data Systems.
Technological Characteristics:
The technological characteristics are the same as for the predicate devices. BrachyCheck was designed to operate in a windows environment using both mouse and keyboard.
Non-clinical tests:
Verification and validation test plans were completed in accordance with Oncology Data Systems procedures and GMP guidelines. A Hazard Analysis was completed and hazards were resolved as appropriate. All system specifications were met and testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The non-clinical tests were conducted using a brachytherapy treatment planning system or hand calculations and BrachyCheck. The test results all matched very closely which supports the claim of substantial equivalence. See Figure 6.0 in section 6 for comparison summary.
Summary of Clinical Testing:
Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence or safety and effectiveness.
Conclusions:
Based upon the technological characteristics, intended use, and non-clinical tests, BrachyCheck is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The documentation submitted for review supports this claim.
