Intended Use
The Positioner system is intended for use in radiation therapy clinics to accurately position patients for radiation therapy in a teproducible way. The system provides information about a patient's position and the adjustments required in order to position the patient as a close as possible to a reference setup. The system shall only be used by hospital personnel, qualified to work in radiation therapy or diagnostics departments.
Device Description
The system consists of a laser-camera unit (LS-100) mounted in the ceiling, and a Windows based application (cPosition) running on a standard PC. The system is non-invasive and uses visible laser light (635nm) to project lines on the patient. The laser-camera scans a 3D surface by projecting a series of laser lines which are recorded by the camera. From each camera recording a 3D contour of the measured object is calculated using triangulation technique and by adding the contours a full 3D surface image is achieved. The PC software compares the scanned image with a reference image and calculates the adjustments required in order to match the two images.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a system using laser scanning and triangulation to create a 3D surface image and then compares it to a reference image using standard software calculations to determine adjustments. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning algorithms.

No
The device is described as a system for accurately positioning patients for radiation therapy, providing information and calculating adjustments, rather than treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a "Positioner system" that accurately positions patients and provides information about a patient's position and necessary "adjustments," not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a "laser-camera unit (LS-100) mounted in the ceiling" in addition to the software application. This hardware component is integral to the device's function of scanning and capturing 3D surface images.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to accurately position patients for radiation therapy. This is a physical positioning task, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device uses laser light and a camera to create a 3D surface image of the patient for positioning purposes. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens, chemical reactions, or any other typical characteristics of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for patient positioning in radiation therapy, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Device description

The system consists of a laser-camera unit (LS-100) mounted in the ceiling, and a Windows based application (cPosition) running on a standard PC.

The system is non-invasive and uses visible laser light (635nm) to project lines on the patient. The laser-camera scans a 3D surface by projecting a series of laser lines which are recorded by the camera. From each camera recording a 3D contour of the measured object is calculated using triangulation technique and by adding the contours a full 3D surface image is achieved.

The PC software compares the scanned image with a reference image and calculates the adjustments required in order to match the two images.

Intended use

The Positioner system is intended for use in radiation therapy clinics to accurately position patients for radiation therapy in a teproducible way. The system provides information about a patient's position and the adjustments required in order to position the patient as a close as possible to a reference setup.

The system shall only be used by hospital personnel, qualified to work in radiation therapy or diagnostics departments.

Technological comparison

The Positioner system is substantial equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of their intended use and technological characteristics. There are differences between the Positioner system and predicate devices in terms of their principles of operation, materials, performance, human factors and energy delivered by the system. However, performance data has been submitted to show that Positioner achieves its intended use and that these technological differences raise no new efficacy or safety concerns.

Dear Mr. Rösth:

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 coomnerce 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 Noss enair 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 levices, 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 FFA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows a circular seal with the text "1876-1976" at the top. The letters "PA" are in the center of the seal in a bold, block-like font. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in a cursive font. There are four stars at the bottom of the seal.
