Intended Use
The PTS is a medical device designed to product and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation.
Device Description
The Proteus 235 system with Pencil Beam Scanning (PPBS) is an external beam irradiation system which provides a therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment. It is designed to deliver a proton beam to the designated patient treatment site with the assigned dose distribution. The equipment required to perform this work is comprised of the main components. The Beam Delivery System (BDS) has the primary responsibility to ensure that the prescribed beam parameters are properly delivered. The Beam Supply System (BSS) generates the proton beam. The pencil beam scanning is defined as the act of moving a charged particle beam or changing one or more of the properties of that beam (e.g. Intensity (e.g. # protons/second), size (e.g. 1 sigma), position etc.). The goal of this beam delivery is to deliver the appropriate proton fluence according to a prescription. The prescription provides a map of the fluence that is necessary to deliver at each location. The beam is moved to each location on the target and the appropriate fluence is deposited at each location.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical delivery of a proton beam and its control parameters, with no mention of AI or ML for tasks like treatment planning, image analysis, or adaptive therapy.

Yes
The device is described as an "external beam irradiation system which provides a therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment" for "localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation," indicating its use in treating diseases.

No
The device is described as a system designed to product and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. This indicates a therapeutic, not diagnostic, purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like the Beam Delivery System (BDS) and Beam Supply System (BSS), which are hardware. The device is a proton therapy system, which is a complex hardware system with integrated software for control and delivery.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is designed to "product and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation." This describes a therapeutic device used on a patient, not a diagnostic device used on samples taken from a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a system for generating and delivering a proton beam for external beam irradiation. This is consistent with a radiation therapy device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, urine, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the device described is a therapeutic medical device used for radiation treatment, not an IVD.

Device Description

The Proteus 235 system with Pencil Beam Scanning (PPBS) is an external beam irradiation system which provides a therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment. It is designed to accurately provide beam to the designated patient treatment site with the assigned dose distribution. The equipment required to perform this work is comprised of several components. The Beam Delivery System (BDS) has the primary responsibility to ensure that the prescribed beam parameters are properly delivered. The Beam Supply System (BSS) generates the proton beam.

The pencil beam scanning is defined as the act of moving a charged particle beam of a given intensity by changing one or more of the properties of that beam (e.g. Intensity (e.g. # protons/second), size (e.g. 1 sigma), position etc.). The goal of this autonomy (e.g. is to deliver the appropriate proton fluence according to a prescription. The beam delivery process is to provide a map of the fluence that is necessary to deliver at each locations in the proton beam. The prescription is provided and the beam is moved to each location on the target and the appropriate fluence is deposited at each location.

The device is designed to: (1) create and deliver the proton beam to the patient treatment location (2) produce a transverse and longitudinal dose distribution appropriate for the patient's treatment; and (3) deliver the designated dose to the patient's treatment site. The PTS has two primary components: (1) the beam delivery equipment, which directs the proton beam to the patient's treatment site within the patient treatment location and ensures the patient critical functions are properly and safely accomplished; and (2) the beam production equipment, which includes a cyclotron and delivery system to produce the proton beam and deliver it to the patient treatment locations. In addition to these primary components, the PTS includes a Therapy Safety System to protect against unsafe conditions, having both automatic and manual controls to shut down the PTS in the event problems occur; and a computer-based Therapy Control System which controls the parameters of the proton beam.

Following the successive changes to the original 510(k) submission, several features have been already added:

(1) PPVS (K053641): The Patient positioning verification system (PPVS) is interfaced to a Treatment Planning System (TPS) or an Oncology Information System (OIS) for downloading the treatment plan and the associated Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRR) from the TPS in DICOM format;

(2) SIS and US (K060695): addition of 2 treatment modes. The Single Scattering (SIS) technique is dedicated to the irradiation of fields smaller than seven centimetres, the Uniform Scanning (US) technique is an active technique for spreading beam in a transversal direction to large irradiation fields;

(3) IOIS (K061913) - An automatic network-based interface from an Oncology Information System (OIS) to the PTS for the input of patient information, which information initially is entered into the OIS by means of a Graphical User Interface has been added.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The PTS is substantially equivalent to both the Loma Linda (K872369) and the Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory (« HCL ») proton therapy devices. The HCL is a pre-1976 device that was constructed in 1949.

Like its predicate devices, the PTS is a device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for treatment of a patient. Also like its predicate devices, it is intended for use in the therapeutic application of a proton beam for the treatment of localized tumors or other disease that are susceptible to treatment by radiation.

The predicate devices also provide the same or substantially equivalent functions, characteristics, and accessories as does the PTS. All these devices are comprised of beam production equipment which generates the beam used by the beam delivery systems.

The technological aspects of a patient treatment consist of protons generated by the beam production equipment, directed to the patient's treatment site by the beam shaping system which is either mounted on a rotatable gantry, or in a fixed position. The patient is put into the correct position relative to the beam by a positioning system, which system is not affected by the modification made by this submission.

The facilities include patient treatment rooms, with each having a different number of rooms. The PTS device may service three to seven rooms, the Loma Linda predicate has four rooms and the HCL predicate has two. Like the predicate Loma Linda and HCL devices, the PTS provides fixed beam treatment stations. The PTS also includes treatment rooms which have isocentric/rotatable gantries similar to those used in the Loma Linda facility, but the space enclosed by the gantry is larger than at Loma Linda so that the patient can be rotated horizontally, as at HCL, allowing more choice of treatment direction.

The PTS and predicate Loma Linda devices are equipped with nozzles that provide beam scattering and beam scanning, the nozzles for the HCL predicate use beam scattering. All three devices have beam-limiting collimators and range verifiers.
