No
The summary describes a software module for adjusting radiation therapy plans based on images, but it does not mention or imply the use of AI or ML algorithms for this adjustment process. The description focuses on the hardware and software platform and the user-driven nature of the adjustments.
No
This device is a software module for treatment planning systems, which assists trained users in adjusting radiation therapy treatment plans. It does not directly deliver therapy or perform a therapeutic function itself.
No
This device is described as a software module for radiation therapy planning that adjusts treatment plans based on images. It is not used for diagnosing medical conditions but rather for guiding and adapting treatment.
No
The device description explicitly states it is composed of a workstation with specific hardware requirements (processors, operating system) in addition to the proprietary software. This indicates it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "correct geometric mismatches between radiation beams and the treatment target under on-line image-guidance." This is a function related to radiation therapy planning and delivery, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition based on in vitro examination of specimens.
- Device Description: The device is described as "optional software module to the Prowess radiation therapy planning software for supporting online image-guided radiation therapy." This further reinforces its role in treatment planning and adaptation, not in vitro diagnostics.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological specimens
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases
The device's function is focused on adjusting radiation therapy plans based on imaging data acquired directly from the patient, which is a core component of medical imaging and treatment delivery, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
PANTHER™ RealART is an optional software module to the Prowess radiation therapy planning software for supporting online image-guided radiation therapy. The Panther™ RealART on-line plan adaptation system is composed of a workstation with two Intel Quad-Core Xeon processors (or later versions) running Windows XP operation system (or later versions) and proprietary software that allows the trained users to adjust radiation therapy treatment plans based on the images acquired on the day of treatment with the patient at the treatment position.
The Panther™ RealART software contains 3 components:
- a. Rapid delineation of targets and organs at risk (OAR) --- The first step of the online correction system is to use robust software and hardware tools to modify the contours rapidly. Tools developed for speeding up contour delineation include: (1) quickly drag and drop planning contours onto the CT of the day. (2) interpolate contours for skipped images, and (3) interactively draw/modify contours.
- b. Segment aperture morphing --- The segment aperture morphing (SAM) algorithm is designed to calculate the corrections on the position and shape of the beam portals based on the images acquired on-line when the patient is at the treatment position.
- c. Segment weight optimization --- The segment weight optimization only modifies the segment weights to further improve the original plan by taking advantage of the anatomy revealed by the images of the day.

- c. Segment weight optimization --- The segment weight optimization only modifies the segment weights to further improve the original plan by taking advantage of the anatomy revealed by the images of the day.
5. Intended Use
Panther™ RealART is an optional software module to the Prowess Panther™ Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System family. It is intended to provide online correction on the position and shape of the beam portals based on the images acquired on the treatment day when the patient is at the treatment position.
6. Summary of Technological Considerations
Panther™ RealART, the online adaptive plan option to the existing Prowess treatment planning system, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. It has the same intended use and similar technical characteristics as the predicate device. It results in equivalent or better quality of treatment plans as compared with the use of predicate device as demonstrated in our field tests.
7. Summary of Comparisons to Predicate Devices
Panther™ RealART adds online, image-quided plan adaptation capabilities to the existing Prowess Panther™ planning system (K032456). It has the same purpose and effects as the predicate device - Adaptive Targeting™ function of ONCOR Expression™ with COHERENCE Workspace (K060226) - utilizing the images of the day to align the radiation beams with the treatment farget.
What distinquishes Panther™ RealART from the predicate device is described in detail under Section VIII: Substantial Equivalence Comparison. Unlike in the predicate device, where the patient and treatment target are treated as a rigid body and the treatment couch is shifted to align the target with the beam portals, Panther™ RealART shifts the beam portals and adjusts their shape if the target has deformed. Subsequent dose

calculation is used to verify the dose coverage of the target and the correctness of the on-line correction.
Summary of Non-clinical Tests 8.
A Hazard Analysis was completed for Panther RealART. Methods for preventing such hazards were detailed (Section IX). Verification and validation of the software was conducted in house according to the Verification and Validation (V&V) Protocol. The V&V Protocol, and test results are included in Section X of this submission. Functional testing was conducted both in-house and by medical physicists/dosimetrists at the Medical College of Wisconsin. These tests have demonstrated that the RealART option to the Prowess Panther™ treatment planning system has met its specifications, demonstrated substantially equivalent performance to the predicate device, and is safe and effective for its intended use.
9. Summary of Clinical Tests
Although clinical testing is not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence in safety and effectiveness, we elect to conduct testing at the Medical College of Wisconsin using real patient cases. We feel that, no matter how carefully a product is tested in the factory, such testing cannot replace testing in the field. Clinical testing was performed on selected four CT datasets acquired in a total of four fractions from two prostate and one pancreas cases at Medical College of Wisconsin.
10. Labeling
