Intended Use
COMPASS is used for quality assurance and plan verification in external beam radiation therapy for multileaf collimated fields and intensity modulated fields. It computes dose (energy per volume deposited by ionizing radiation) three-dimensionally in a geometrical representation of a patient or a phantom. The calculation is based on read-in treatment plans, and additionally on online or offline measurements of radiation fields with radiation-transparent or non-transparent, 2 dimensional multi-element ionization chamber arrays.
Device Description
The system is intended to be used with intensity modulated radiation therapy, delivered with high energy x-ray beams from an isocentric gantry linear accelerator. The modulation of these beams shall be accomplished by means of MLCs and Jaws. The aim is to measure the fluences of the applied fields by means of electronic 2D devices, including transmission detector which can be used during patient irradiation. Alternatively the fluences can be calculated from a computation independent from the original TPS, using segmentation data from the TPS or a delivery log file. Furthermore, the intention of the system is to recalculate the resulting dose distribution in a phantom or, using patient anatomy data, in a patient. Moreover, the system allows performing QA tests on the radiation delivery system. When the system is used together with electronic 2D devices, preferably with transmission detector, it can also provide sensitivity calibration and performance tests on EPID systems. Finally, the system will provide online information about the quality of the delivery, both on a delivery system level (e.g. leaf positioning accuracy, dose per segment accuracy) as on the patient level (resulting dose distribution). In case of discrepancies, corrective action (adjusted plan for further fractions) shall be proposed.

Not Found

No
The description focuses on dose calculation and quality assurance based on measurements and treatment plans, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms.

No
The device is used for quality assurance and plan verification in radiation therapy, calculating dose and measuring radiation fields, not for directly treating a patient.

No

COMPASS is used for quality assurance and plan verification in radiation therapy, calculating dose distribution and performing QA tests on the radiation delivery system. It does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions the use of "electronic 2D devices, including transmission detector" and "electronic 2D devices, preferably with transmission detector," which are hardware components used for measuring radiation fields. While the system performs calculations and analysis (software functions), it relies on and integrates with physical measurement hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices 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.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that COMPASS is used for quality assurance and plan verification in external beam radiation therapy. It computes dose distributions based on treatment plans and measurements of radiation fields. It also performs QA tests on the radiation delivery system.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens from a patient. Its function is related to the delivery and verification of radiation therapy, not the analysis of patient samples for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, based on the intended use and device description, COMPASS falls under the category of a radiation therapy quality assurance and verification device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Arold:

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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
