The Agility multileaf collimator is indicated for use when additional flexibility is required in conforming the radiation beam to the anatomy to be exposed.
The associated Integrity R3.1 software is the interface and control software for the Elekta medical digital linear accelerator and is intended to assist a licensed practitioner in the delivery of radiation to defined target volumes (e.g. lesions, arterio-venous malformations, malignant and benign tumors), whilst sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation.
Both High Dose Rate mode and flattened beams are intended to be used for single or multiple fractions, delivered as static and/or dynamic, in gated or un-gated deliveries, in all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated.
The use of the Agility multileaf collimator in conjunction with an Elekta digital linear accelerator may be helpful in the delivery of radiation for treatment that includes but is not limited to malignant and benign brain tumors, brain metastases, spine lesions treated using SRS, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, lung, breast, pancreatic, hepatic malignancies treated using SBRT, prostate, and bone metastases.
This Traditional 510(k) describes changes to the Elekta range of medical linear accelerators when fitted with the Agility multileaf collimator and associated Integrity linac control system. Items added are; High Dose Rate mode x-rays, specific clinical indications for use, and the Response™ gating interface that enables the linac treatment beam to be automatically turned on and off by signals from an external gating device.
High Dose Rate mode x-rays are provided by changes to the filtering arrangement to reduce wasteful attenuation of the beam.
The Elekta Agility Multileaf Collimator system, including the Agility MLC, Integrity R3.1 software, High Dose Rate mode, and Response™ gating interface, underwent non-clinical performance testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices and conformance to applicable technical design specifications, assuring safety and effectiveness.

§ 892.5050 Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system.
(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.
