Intended Use
The Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System provides an option to the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System and CyberKnife VSI Robotic Radiosurgery System that enables dynamic image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy of lesions, tumors and conditions that move under the influence of respiration.
Device Description
Irradiation of lesions that move during breathing, such as those located in the lung or near the diaphragm, are typically performed during patient breath-holds. The Synchrony Tracking System option to the CyberKnife System is designed to treat lesions while they are moving during the respiratory cycle. This offers the ability to reduce normal tissue exposure by using smaller irradiation margins, shorten treatment times, increase accuracy and provide more comfort for the patient. During respiratory tracking, a correspondence between surface (e.g., thorax/abdomen) movement and movement of the target lesion is developed prior to the start of treatment and is regularly updated during treatment each time the CyberKnife System acquires a new pair of x-ray images. This correspondence is then used to estimate lesion position in real time by monitoring surface movement during treatment. The Synchrony Tracking System provides the CyberKnife System with the capability to monitor the patient's respiration and command the robot manipulator to compensate for the treatment target motion within the body, in real-time, while the radiation is being delivered. The Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System includes a sensor assembly, tracking targets, electronics to translate signals, and a controller.

No
The description focuses on establishing and updating a correspondence between surface movement and lesion movement based on acquired x-ray images, which is a form of image processing and tracking, not explicitly AI/ML. There is no mention of learning algorithms, training data, or AI/ML specific terminology.

No
The device aids in precise delivery of radiosurgery and radiotherapy by tracking tumor movement due to respiration, but it does not directly apply therapy itself; it is an option for a therapeutic system (CyberKnife).

No

The device is described as an option to a radiosurgery system that enables dynamic image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy of lesions, tumors, and conditions, indicating its use for treatment delivery rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System includes hardware components such as a "sensor assembly, tracking targets, electronics to translate signals, and a controller." This indicates it is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System is described as a system that tracks the movement of lesions within the body during respiration using imaging (x-rays) and surface monitoring. It is an accessory to a radiotherapy system (CyberKnife) used for treatment delivery.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens taken from the patient.

The device's function is focused on real-time tracking of internal structures for the purpose of guiding external radiation therapy, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment delivery and guidance, not in vitro diagnosis.
