Intended Use
The RPM Respiratory Gating System is used to obtain tracking of the subject respiratory pattern for respiratory synchronized image acquisition and radiation therapy treatment. It can also be used to monitor the patient position during image acquisition, simulation and treatment.
Device Description
The Varian RPM Respiratory Gating is an attachment to radiation therapy treatment systems such as conventional linear accelerators, proton therapy systems, radiation therapy simulators and image acquisition devices used for diagnostics and radiation therapy. The RPM device is to be used to characterize the patient's respiratory motion information to synchronize their operation with the respiratory motion. The imaging devices either trigger the image acquisition based on the signal received from RPM, or they use respiratory motion signal to trigger beam-hold and limit the beam-on time to those points in the respiratory cycle where the target volume is within acceptable motion limits. The RPM device can also be used to monitor the patient's position during the image acquisition and treatment therapy process.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on tracking respiratory patterns and synchronizing treatment based on this data, without mentioning AI/ML algorithms for analysis or prediction.

No
The device is described as an attachment to radiation therapy treatment systems, used to characterize respiratory motion and synchronize operations or monitor patient position during image acquisition and treatment. It does not treat a condition itself but rather aids in the precise delivery of therapeutic radiation.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an attachment to radiation therapy systems used for respiratory gating and patient position monitoring, not for diagnosing medical conditions. While it is used with "image acquisition devices used for diagnostics," the RPM itself does not perform the diagnostic imaging or interpretation. Its function is to characterize respiratory motion and synchronize other devices, not to diagnose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "attachment to radiation therapy treatment systems" and is used to "characterize the patient's respiratory motion information," implying the use of hardware components to acquire this data.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The RPM Respiratory Gating System's intended use and description clearly state that it is used to track a subject's respiratory pattern and monitor patient position during image acquisition and radiation therapy. It interacts with the patient externally and does not analyze biological samples.

Therefore, the function and purpose of this device fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(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 Ms. Tran:

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). 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 Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
