Intended Use
The Protura Couch Software is interface between a record and verify system, linear accelerator (Linac) software, Linac safeguard systems, and/or image guidance systems and the Protura Couch. The Protura Couch Software is also capable of operating the Protura Couch (6 Degree Axis Couch).
Device Description
The proposed device, the Protura Couch Software (MT6XSMEU), is patient positioning software used in radiation treatments in conjunction with an Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) system. The Protura Couch Software interfaces with the Protura Couch Hardware (K031866) and is intended to position the patient after diagnostic decisions have been made based on results from an IGRT system. The Protura Couch Software allows the user to control patient positioning with six degrees of freedom from outside of the treatment room. The Protura Couch Software also includes the ability to interface with a record and verify system, Linac software, Linac safeguard systems, and/or image guidance systems.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes software for controlling a patient positioning couch in radiation therapy. It focuses on interfacing with other systems and controlling movement based on user input or data from imaging systems, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used for decision-making, image analysis, or automated adjustments beyond direct control.

No
The device is patient positioning software that interfaces with hardware for radiation treatments, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as "patient positioning software used in radiation treatments" and "intended to position the patient after diagnostic decisions have been made." It helps in treatment delivery, not in making diagnostic decisions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the software interfaces with "Protura Couch Hardware" and is intended to position the patient using this hardware. The performance studies also include testing related to the "Movement of the Protura Couch," which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, 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 Protura Couch Software is described as patient positioning software used in radiation treatments. Its primary function is to control the movement of a patient couch based on information from imaging systems (like IGRT) and other treatment planning systems.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this software analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. Its input comes from imaging and treatment planning data, not from in vitro tests.

Therefore, the Protura Couch Software falls under the category of a medical device used in treatment delivery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
