Intended Use
Verification Console is designed to assist the operator of a proton radiation therapy device. Verification Console retrieves treatment plans from an oncology information system (OIS) and sends plans to the treatment device's treatment control system (TCS). Verification Console then performs verification of treatment plan parameters against TCS delivery parameters for accuracy prior to beam authorization, and sends the treatment history for recording to the OIS.
Device Description
Verification Console is designed to perform an interface role to connect to proton therapy control systems. The general function of the Verification Console is to allow treatment plans and images to be retrieved from the Varian Oncology Information System and sent to the device's treatment control system (TCS), planned treatment plan parameters to be verified against the TCS delivery parameters for accuracy, and treatment history to be recorded in the Varian Oncology Information System for use and display throughout ARIA and Eclipse. ARIA and Eclipse are separately cleared devices from Varian Medical System.
More Information

No
The summary describes a system for retrieving, sending, and verifying treatment plan parameters, which are standard functions for radiation therapy control systems. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or training/test sets for algorithms.

No
The device, Verification Console, assists the operator of a proton radiation therapy device and primarily handles treatment plan data transfer and verification. It does not directly deliver therapy or perform a therapeutic function on a patient; rather, it supports the operation of a therapeutic device (the proton radiation therapy device).

No

This device is described as assisting the operator of a proton radiation therapy device by retrieving, sending, and verifying treatment plans. It performs a quality assurance and interface role in the treatment workflow, rather than detecting or diagnosing a disease or condition.

Yes

The device description focuses entirely on software functions: retrieving, sending, verifying, and recording data between existing systems (OIS and TCS). There is no mention of any hardware components being part of the Verification Console itself.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist the operator of a proton radiation therapy device by managing treatment plans, verifying parameters, and recording treatment history. This is directly related to the delivery of a medical treatment, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on interfacing with treatment control systems and oncology information systems to manage treatment plans and data. It does not mention analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any activities typical of IVDs, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device's function is centered around the workflow and control of a proton radiation therapy device, which is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

§ 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.

Varian Treatment (K082416)

Verification Console is designed to perform an interface role to connect to proton therapy control systems.

The general function of the Verification Console is to allow treatment plans and images to be retrieved from the Varian Oncology Information System and sent to the device's treatment control system (TCS), planned treatment plan parameters to be verified against the TCS delivery parameters for accuracy, and treatment history to be recorded in the Varian Oncology Information System for use and display throughout ARIA and Eclipse. ARIA and Eclipse are separately cleared devices from Varian Medical System.

Verification Console is designed to assist the operator of a proton radiation therapy device. Verification Console retrieves treatment plans from an oncology information system (OIS) and sends plans to the treatment device's treatment control system (TCS). Verification Console then performs verification of treatment plan parameters against TCS delivery parameters for accuracy prior to beam authorization, and sends the treatment history for recording to the OIS:

Verification Console's statement of intended use was based on and is substantially equivalent to the intended use statement of Varian Treatment. The differences are minor, not critical to the intended

therapeutic use of the device, and do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled since Verification Console's intended use statement is simply a more detailed account of the language in Varian Treatment's intended use statement.

Technological Characteristics: . Verification Console is substantially equivalent to and has similar technological characteristics as the predicate device (Varian Treatment). The functionality of both devices is equivalent in safety and effectiveness.
