Intended Use
The Target Positioner (TaPo) is used to position the patient for the stereotactic radiotherapy/radiosurgery. The optional usage of the Stereotactic Counterweight improves the accuracy of patient positioning during the treatment by compensating the weight of the Target Positioner after its removal.
Device Description
The Target Positioner is a non-invasive mechanical device that consists of an aluminum frame and four Target Positioner Carrier Plates made of transparent plastics. In order to ensure a rigid fixation to different types of Headring respectively to the BrainLAB Mask System, various Target Positioners with adapted interface specifications are provided. The Target Positioner enables alignment of the planned patient's treatment isocenter with the LINAC Isocenter. Prior to the treatment the Target Positioner has to be removed. The usage of the Stereotactic Counterweight improves the accuracy of patient positioning during the treatment by compensating the weight of the Target Positioner after its removal.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a mechanical positioning device. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is used for patient positioning prior to radiotherapy/radiosurgery; it does not directly treat the patient.

No

This device is a positioning tool for stereotactic radiotherapy/radiosurgery. Its purpose is to physically position the patient for treatment, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "non-invasive mechanical device that consists of an aluminum frame and four Target Positioner Carrier Plates made of transparent plastics," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to position a patient for stereotactic radiotherapy/radiosurgery. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a non-invasive mechanical device used for patient positioning. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on biological markers.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is purely mechanical positioning for a therapeutic procedure.

§ 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 (PMA), 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 electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050,

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.
