No
The device description explicitly details significant hardware components, including a magnetic resonance imaging system, a cobalt-60 radiation delivery system with radioactive sources, shielding, gantry, multi-leaf collimators, and control systems. While software is mentioned as part of the control system and treatment planning, the core functionality and components are hardware-based.
Based on the provided information, the ViewRay System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- ViewRay System Function: The ViewRay System is a radiation therapy device that uses magnetic resonance imaging for guidance during the delivery of radiation directly to lesions, tumors, and conditions within the body. It treats the patient directly, rather than analyzing samples taken from the patient.
The device description clearly outlines its function as a system for delivering radiation therapy with integrated imaging for guidance and positioning. This falls under the category of therapeutic medical devices, not diagnostic devices that analyze samples.

Device Description
The ViewRay™ System for Radiation Therapy is a single medical device that combines a magnetic resonance imaging system for image guidance, with a cobalt-60 radiation delivery system. The system is designed so that the imaging and radiotherapy fields of view coincide, permitting imaging of the patient at the radiotherapy isocenter before and during treatment. These imaging and radiation delivery systems are designed to operate together as the ViewRay System, for accurate, targeted administration of radiation therapy. The ViewRay System is used with the ViewRay Treatment Planning and Delivery System (TPDS) (K102915, FDA clearance 1/12/11).
The magnetic resonance imaging system (MRIS) of the ViewRay System can be used by the clinician to perform three (3) different functions before and during the treatment of a patient. A trained clinician may choose to perform all, some, or none of the functions. These 3 functions are:
- Treatment planning the images from the ViewRay MRIS can be used to perform pre-treatment and on-table planning.
- Patient positioning Fast pilot or planning volumetric images can be used to position the patient.
- Treatment gating (soft tissue tracking)- If the prescribing clinician employs this feature during therapy, planar MR images (in a single plane or in 3 planes) are taken continuously during therapy delivery, to control the beam based on anatomy motion.
The ViewRay radiation delivery system (RDS) consists of: - Radioactive cobalt-60 sources
- Source shielding heads and movement mechanism
- . Gantry and base
- Multi-leaf collimators
- Radiation therapy control system
- User console
The sealed cobalt-60 sources are housed in source-shielding heads made of tungsten alloy and depleted uranium encased with stainless steel. The heads are mounted on a ring gantry located between the gap in the MRIS magnets. The sources can be positioned for therapy (BEAM ON), standby (BEAM HOLD) and shielding (BEAM OFF) by the source movement mechanism. The beams from the sources are shaped to conform to the target using double focused multi-leaf collimators. The radiation therapy interfaces with the radiation treatment planning, imaging, gating, and dose calculation functions by means of the radiation therapy control system (RTCS). This system is the central point of control and is designed to provide fail-safe operation of the ViewRay System. The RTCS includes the Radiation Therapy Controller (RTC) and the Auxiliary Controller (AUXC). The AUXC provides secondary monitoring of the ViewRay System safety functions in the event of an RTC failure. The ViewRay System records patient information, treatment plans, dose administered during each fraction, the accumulated dose, imaging data, and system performance during treatment.

Statement of Indications for Use:
The ViewRay System, with magnetic resonance imaging capabilities, is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.
Technological Characteristics:
The ViewRay System functions in a manner directly analogous to the functions provided by the Varian Medical Systems' Trilogy Mx™ Radiotherapy Delivery System. Both the ViewRay and Varian Systems can use images obtained from CT, PET or MRI for planning. Although the Varian System uses a different technology for obtaining images during delivery of treatment (CT vs. MRI) and a source of radiation (linac vs. cobalt-60), both systems are intended for use for radiation therapy, and are used by the same user population. By eliminating the radiation exposure of a CT scan and using MRI instead, the ViewRay System can allow continuous imaging to take place during administration of the radiation therapy,

thereby keeping the target area in view and minimizing unintended radiation of healthy surrounding tissue.
The ViewRay System employs two well-established technologies, MRI and radiotherapy delivery using cobalt-60 with treatment planning functions to provide a comprehensive IGRT solution. The ViewRay System is substantially equivalent to the imaging and therapy technologies used in the Varian System, CT and linear accelerator. All of these technologies were well established in the marketplace prior to being used together in IGRT systems. Both the ViewRay and Varian systems are used by trained clinicians to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy to patients.
Summary of Performance Testing:
Design Verification testing was performed on the imaging and radiation therapy capabilities of the ViewRay System to show substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Additionally, testing was executed on the System to verify conformance to design requirements, to ensure all identified risks and hazards were mitigated, and to demonstrate conformance to relevant standards. The ViewRay System described in this premarket notification passed all verification testing, and the System conformed with all applicable sections of IEC 60601-1 (2.0 Edition), IEC 60601-2-33 (3.0 Edition) and IEC 60601-2-11 (2.0 Edition)
Conclusion:
The ViewRay System for radiation therapy shares many of the technological features and characteristics with its predicate, the Trilogy Mx™ System. Verification testing of the ViewRay System demonstrated that the device met established standards and design requirements for image guided radiation therapy equipment. System performance was found to be equivalent in function to the predicate device. Therefore, the ViewRay System is substantially equivalent to the indicated predicate device.
