The description mentions "advanced surface registration algorithms" and "laser line triangulation" for 3D surface reconstruction, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like neural networks or deep learning. The focus is on traditional image processing and geometric algorithms for positioning and motion detection.
No.
Explanation: The device is intended for patient positioning and monitoring during radiation therapy, not for treating any medical condition or directly providing therapy. It is a tool to assist in the delivery of a therapeutic treatment (radiation therapy) rather than being a therapeutic device itself.
No
The device is intended for patient positioning and monitoring during radiation therapy, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It helps ensure accurate treatment delivery by tracking patient movement.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Sentinel system includes hardware components, specifically a scanner unit containing a laser and camera.
Based on the provided information, the Sentinel system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "accurately position patients in a reproducible way, prior to treatment and to monitor the patient continuously during treatment." This is a function related to patient positioning and monitoring during radiation therapy, which is a clinical procedure performed on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a system using laser and camera technology to capture the patient's surface and track their position. This is a physical interaction with the patient's external body.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Sentinel system does not analyze any biological samples.
- Focus on Patient Positioning and Monitoring: The core function of the Sentinel system is to ensure the patient is in the correct position for radiation therapy and to detect movement during treatment. This is a direct application to the patient's physical state, not an analysis of their biological samples.
Therefore, the Sentinel system falls under the category of a medical device used in a clinical setting for patient management during radiation therapy, but it does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Sentinel system is a new version of the Positioner system (previously registered with 510(k) Number K063839), updated with an application module for patient monitoring, cMotion (the design control documents are included in Appendices A and B).
Sentinel is an advanced system for surface contour localization and patient monitoring during the radiotherapy treatment process. The Sentinel platform is based on advanced laser technology with multipurpose software modules covering different tasks in the treatment procedure. The c4D multi-application software supports all modes of operation in one integrated package. The software is user friendly and requires a minimum of user interaction in the daily clinical workflow, while providing the advanced user with sophisticated data management, analysis and reporting functionalities. The software is designed to integrate with existing systems at the clinic, such as CT, linacs and R&V systems, and with motorized couch tops.
Sentinel includes two application modules, cPosition for fast and accuracy patient positioning and cMotion for motion detection during the treatment delivery procedure.
The Sentinel hardware consists of a single scanner unit containing the laser and camera, mounted in the ceiling in front of the gantry. The scanner is connected to the PC running the c4D software.
During patient surface acquisition, a laser line is swept along the patient while the camera records a number of images. From the data acquired, a complete 3D surface of the patient can be reconstructed using laser line triangulation. For patient positioning, the acquired surface is captured in a few seconds and can contain several hundred contours. For motion detection the number of contours is typically lowered so that the desired frame rate is achieved.

Device description
The Sentinel system is a new version of the Positioner system (previously registered with 510(k) Number K063839), updated with an application module for patient monitoring, cMotion (the design control documents are included in Appendices A and B).
Sentinel is an advanced system for surface contour localization and patient monitoring during the radiotherapy treatment process. The Sentinel platform is based on advanced laser technology with multipurpose software modules covering different tasks in the treatment procedure. The c4D multi-application software supports all modes of operation in one integrated package. The software is user friendly and requires a minimum of user interaction in the daily clinical workflow, while providing the advanced user with sophisticated data management, analysis and reporting functionalities. The software is designed to integrate with existing systems at the clinic, such as CT, linacs and R&V systems, and with motorized couch tops.
Sentinel includes two application modules, cPosition for fast and accuracy patient positioning and cMotion for motion detection during the treatment delivery procedure.
The Sentinel hardware consists of a single scanner unit containing the laser and camera, mounted in the ceiling in front of the gantry. The scanner is connected to the PC running the c4D software.
During patient surface acquisition, a laser line is swept along the patient while the camera records a number of images. From the data acquired, a complete 3D surface of the patient can be reconstructed using laser line triangulation. For patient positioning, the acquired surface is captured in a few seconds and can contain several hundred contours. For motion detection the number of contours is typically lowered so that the desired frame rate is achieved.
cPosition
Once the treatment planning has been performed, the resulting plan can be transferred to the Sentinel system through import from the industry-standard DICOM format, creating the reference data necessary for patient positioning. Reference data can also be by created using the Sentinel laser scanner. In the treatment room, synchronization with the LINAC or R & V (Record and Verify) system ensures that the correct reference data is called up automatically when the patient is selected for treatment, and also eliminates the need for any manual selection of the patient in the Sentinel system.
By advanced surface registration algorithms the actual patient position is compared to the predefined reference, suggesting within seconds a correction in six degrees of freedom of the patient's position. With interface to major accelerator vendors the suggested patient position is transferred to the respective couch control system and fast and accurate alignment is achieved.
cMotion
cMotion monitors the movement of the patient during treatment delivery and automatically warns if the patient moves outside the allowed tolerances.

Intended use
The Sentinel system is intended for use in radiation therapy clinics to accurately position patients in a reproducible way, prior to treatment and to monitor the patient continuously during treatment. The system provides information about a patient's position and the adjustments required in order to position the patient as close as possible to a reference setup. During monitoring, the system reports deviations in the patient's position during treatment.
Technological comparison
The Sentinel system is substantial equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of their intended use and technological characteristics. There are differences between the Sentinel 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 Sentinel achieves its intended use and that these technological differences raise no new efficacy or safety concerns.
