Yes
The device uses medical diagnostic ultrasound to acquire and reconstruct 3D ultrasound images of soft-tissue anatomy for use in external beam radiation therapy, which falls under the definition of diagnostic imaging. Its purpose is to provide 3D ultrasound and hybrid imaging to "support radiation therapy simulation and planning, and to guide patient positioning," which are diagnostic activities.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components, including a 3DUS imaging station with console, probes, tracking tools, optical tracking system, multimodality phantom, workstation computer systems, central server computer system, and optional autoscan probe with holder and remote control. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Clarity™ OBP System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Clarity™ OBP System's Function: The Clarity™ OBP System is used for in vivo imaging (imaging within the living body) using ultrasound and optical tracking. Its purpose is to support radiation therapy by providing anatomical imaging for planning and guiding patient positioning. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
Therefore, the Clarity™ OBP System falls under the category of medical imaging and guidance systems used in radiation therapy, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
The Clarity™ OBP System integrates medical diagnostic ultrasound and optical position tracking to acquire and reconstruct three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) images of soft-tissue anatomy for use in external beam radiation therapy. During the course of radiation therapy, the Clarity™ OBP System offers a non-ionizing means for daily localization of target anatomical structures.
The Clarity™ OBP System comprises the following functional components:
- The 3DUS imaging station (typically one in the CT-simulation room and one in the treatment . room}, including the 3DUS console with an integrated computer system and opticallytracked ultrasound probes, patient/couch position tracking tools, and a ceiling-mounted optical tracking system.
- . A multimodality phantom, for 3DUS image calibration to the room's coordinate system defined by the corresponding room lasers, and for daily verification of system integrity.
- . One or more dedicated workstation computer systems for multimodality image fusion and review, soft-tissue structure definition, approval of patient positioning references, and monitoring of treatment progress.
- . A dedicated central server computer system (typically combined with a workstation), which houses the patient database and provides for interoperability with other imaging and treatment planning/simulation systems using the DICOM 3/RT protocol.
All networked Clarity™ OBP System stations are configured to run the same software version. The software interface is designed to 'walk' the user through a sequence of steps (or "course") to acquire 3DUS scans in the planning position, import planning CT data and fuse with 3DUS, define the structure of interest and approve a baseline positioning reference, acquire another 3DUS in the treatment position to determine target displacement relative planning-day position, and adjust patient positioning prior to treatment. The 3DUS data may be exported through DICOM to a third-party virtual simulator or treatment planning system (TPS).
Different courses are defined in the software (e.g., "Prostate", "General", "QC") to help classify patients in the database and to present the user with default choices and settings, tailored for the target anatomy (e.g. prostate, bladder, liver, uterus & cervix, breast, head & neck) and daily QC tasks. Such configurations include probe type, scan settings, contouring and assisted segmentation tools, and alert values for large target misalignments.
The Clarity™ OBP System provides the option for hand-held ultrasound scanning or automated scanning with a motorized probe. The user can select the probe and scanning method that is most appropriate for the given target anatomy and the patient's clinical presentation. The autoscan probe comes with a probe holder apparatus and a remote control console, specifically designed to facilitate transperineal imaging of the prostate and surrounding soft tissues.
The Clarity™ OBP System also includes an optional web-based interface for remote review of treatment session data and positioning reference images.

Device Description
The Clarity™ OBP System integrates medical diagnostic ultrasound and optical position tracking to acquire and reconstruct three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) images of soft-tissue anatomy for use in external beam radiation therapy. During the course of radiation therapy, the Clority™ OBP System offers a non-ionizing means for daily localization of target anatomical structures.
The Clarity™ OBP System comprises the following functional components:
- The 3DUS imaging station (typically one in the CT-simulation room and one in the treatment . room}, including the 3DUS console with an integrated computer system and opticallytracked ultrasound probes, patient/couch position tracking tools, and a ceiling-mounted optical tracking system.
- . A multimodality phantom, for 3DUS image calibration to the room's coordinate system defined by the corresponding room lasers, and for daily verification of system integrity.
- . One or more dedicated workstation computer systems for multimodality image fusion and review, soft-tissue structure definition, approval of patient positioning references, and monitoring of treatment progress.
- . A dedicated central server computer system (typically combined with a workstation), which houses the patient database and provides for interoperability with other imaging and treatment planning/simulation systems using the DICOM 3/RT protocol.
All networked Clarity™ OBP System stations are configured to run the same software version. The software interface is designed to 'walk' the user through a sequence of steps (or "course") to acquire 3DUS scans in the planning position, import planning CT data and fuse with 3DUS, define the structure of interest and approve a baseline positioning reference, acquire another 3DUS in the treatment position to determine target displacement relative planning-day position, and adjust patient positioning prior to treatment. The 3DUS data may be exported through DICOM to a third-party virtual simulator or treatment planning system (TPS).

The Clarity™ OBP System provides the option for hand-held ultrasound scanning or automated scanning with a motorized probe. The user can select the probe and scanning method that is most appropriate for the given target anatomy and the patient's clinical presentation. The autoscan probe comes with a probe holder apparatus and a remote control console, specifically designed to facilitate transperineal imaging of the prostate and surrounding soft tissues.
The Clarity™ OBP System also includes an optional web-based interface for remote review of treatment session data and positioning reference images.

Comparison with Predicate Devices
The Clarity™ OBP System incorporates software and system engineering improvements that have been implemented since the first release of the Restitu™ device (K041937), aiming to improve device usability and reinforce device safety. System engineering changes include the integration of a high-performance computer system and technologically advanced diagnostic ultrasound in the 3DUS Console, and the use of passive optical tracking technology. The current system offers the option for automated scanning with a motorized (autoscan) probe, as well as for traditional manual scanning with hand-held ultrasound probes offered by the predicate device. The current components have the same intended use and are manufactured to the same recognized safety standards and regulatory requirements as those in the predicate device.
Improvements to the software interface include predefined "courses" tailored for the target anatomy and daily QC tasks, advanced editing tools for image registration and fusion, dedicated workspaces for structure contouring and definition of positioning references, and a web-based interface for remote review of patient data. Multimodality image co-registration and fusionvisualization capabilities, equivalent to those cleared for use with the IKOEngelo™ (K083591) and MIM 4.1 (SEASTAR) (K071964) software devices, have been added to assist with contouring and definition of a positioning reference.
Despite the technological differences, the Clarity™ OBP System is substantially equivalent with the predicate devices in design, functions, and operating principles for the intended use, and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Verification and Validation Testing
To address any potential safety and effectiveness concerns with the integration of the new technology in the Clarity OBP System, we have performed a systematic review and verification of design requirements and validation of essential performance, following a comprehensive hazard analysis and risk assessment process in compliance with regulatory guidance and recognized consensus standards. Software and system testing has been conducted in house and in clinical settings under conditions of simulated use. The verification test results demonstrate that this next-generation device fulfills design and risk management requirements, and performs well in accordance with established specifications for its intended use.
