No
The description focuses on a flow meter device and a patient-controlled valve for breath-hold coordination, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as a flow meter that helps patients hold their breath during radiation therapy to minimize organ movement and reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissues. It aids in the delivery of radiation therapy but does not directly treat or cure a disease itself.
No
The device is an Active Breathing Coordinator, which is used to reduce anatomical movement caused by breathing and cardiac motion during radiation therapy. It is a flow meter that helps patients hold their breath at a predefined volume of air to ensure accurate radiation delivery. This function is for treatment delivery control, not for diagnosing a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "flow meter device" and mentions a "patient controlled balloon valve which is connected to the flow meter device," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Active Breathing Coordinator is a flow meter device that measures the volume of air entering and exiting the lungs. It is used to help patients control their breathing during radiation therapy.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce anatomical movement during radiation therapy by facilitating breath-hold. This is a physical intervention and control mechanism, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
The device's function and intended use clearly fall outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Active Breathing Coordinator is indicated for use when there is a need to reduce the anatomical movement in the thorax and abdomen caused by breathing and cardiac motion. It is intended for breath-hold (BH) during simulation and delivery of External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) using photons, in single or multiple fractions, administered via static and/or dynamic delivery processes, in any and all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated. It also provides electrical prompts and status information for the Elekta Limited Response™ gating interface when automated gating of the linac is used.
The Active Breathing Coordinator is specifically indicated for:
- a. Breast tumors, including total and partial breast irradiation techniques, where immobilized anatomy provided by deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) allows critical organ sparing, such as decreasing radiation dose to heart, lung and other surrounding normal tissue.
- b. Lung cancers and other thoracic tumors (such as esophagus, lymphoma, and metastatic lesions) where immobilized anatomy provided by DIBH allows critical organ sparing, including reducing both dose and volume of irradiated normal tissue, and enabling potential reduction of tumor target margins. Also included is the use of linac-based Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) that may be employed to treat such lesions.
- c. Liver tumors, where immobilized anatomy provides critical organ sparing, including reducing both dose and volume of irradiated normal tissue enabling potential reduction of tumor target tissue margins. Also included is the use of linac-based SRS and SRT that may be employed to treat such lesions.
- d. Pancreatic turnors, where immobilized anatomy allows critical organ sparing including reducing both dose and volume of irradiated normal tissue, enabling potential reduction of tumor target tissue margins. Also included is the use of linac-based SRS and SRT that may be employed to treat such lesions.

Device Description
This Traditional 510(k) describes product enhancements for the Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC). The ABC is a flow meter device that allows radiation therapy patients to graphically observe the volume of air that enters and exits their lungs on a computer monitor. The patients are coached prior to the treatment and instructed to hold their breath when the volume of air entering or exiting their lungs reaches a predefined threshold volume. Accurate and reproducible timing of the breath hold period is aided by a patient controlled balloon valve which is connected to the flow meter device. Radiation is only delivered during the breath hold period. Radiation may be delivered by the therapist manually turning the beam on and off, or automatically by using the Elekta Limited Response™ gating interface (FDA 510(k) clearance number K123808, available separately from Elekta, Ltd., Crawley, UK).
The enhanced ABC electrically prompts the Response to interrupt the linac beam and resume it at the appropriate times during the patient's breathing cycle. It also displays status information from the Elekta Response. The significant technology characteristics of the ABC arc:
- a. Laptop personal computer software and external display monitor with graphical user interface.
- b. Patient respiratory kit with an in-line transducer and balloon valve for air volume monitoring during patient breathing and lung volume stability during breath hold periods. The balloon valve is controlled pneumatically.

Technological Characteristics 6.
The cnhanced ABC uses the same technology as its predicate device from Aktina Medical, the ABC K003330, with one exception. The enhanced ABC also supports automated gating of the treatment beam from a linear accelerator that contains the Elekta Ltd. Response linac gating interface option. The enhanced ABC clectrically prompts the Response to interrupt the linac beam and resume it at the appropriate times during the patient's breathing cycle. It also displays status information from the Elekta Response. The technology to support the Elekta Response is the same as the second predicate device listed above, the AK-733 Respiratory Gating System from Anzai Medical Company, Ltd. (K031385), which also electrically

prompts a linear accelerator to turn the beam on and off at appropriate times during the patient's breathing cycle. The significant technology characteristics of the ABC arc:
- a. Laptop personal computer software and external display monitor with graphical user interface.
- b. Patient respiratory kit with an in-line transducer and balloon valve for air volume monitoring during patient breathing and lung volume stability during breath hold periods. The balloon valve is controlled pneumatically.
7. Performance Standards and Data
The FDA under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act has not established performance standards for this product
Hardware and software specification testing have been performed on the enhanced ABC to show that the verification, validation and safety requirements have been met.
Biocompatibility 8.
The patient contact components of the enhanced ABC are identical to the patient contact components of the ABC K003330, except that over-the-counter prism reading glasses may be used in place of a mirror system to allow the patient to see the monitor in a supine position. These components have been shown to be biocompatible for surface devices in contact with a skin or mucosal membrane with a contact duration of less than 24 hours.
9. Summary of Substantial Equivalence
This device is similar in design and intended use, technological, physical, and performance characteristics to the predicate devices. No new issues of safety or effectiveness are introduced by using this device.
