Intended Use
The Varian High Energy Linear Accelerator is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated.
Device Description
The Varian High Energy Linear Accelerator models provide various selections among the features, specifications, and accessories that have been most recently cleared as the Varian High Energy Linear Accelerator, K112839. The High Energy Linear Accelerator is a radiotherapy treatment unit. The equipment consists of a gantry, couch, stand and control console. The device is permanently installed. The radiotherapy treatment beam is generated by a linear accelerator assembly consisting of an electron gun, waveguide and collimator. An extensive system of interlocks is designed to prevent or terminate beam-on unless essential treatment parameters are in place and system operating conditions relevant to safe operation are correct. The changes to the Varian High Energy Linear Accelerator establish motion zone rules, which limit the motions of couch and gantry that can be initiated or directed from outside the treatment room. The purpose of the zone rules is to increase patient safety by reducing the possibility of collision between the gantry and the patient. All other features and technological characteristics of the Varian High Energy Linear Accelerator models remain as cleared by K112839.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a linear accelerator for radiotherapy with safety features related to motion control. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or any other section. The changes described are related to establishing "motion zone rules" for safety, which appears to be a rule-based system, not AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to provide radiation treatment for lesions, tumors, and conditions, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "radiotherapy treatment unit" intended to deliver radiation for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a gantry, couch, stand, control console, electron gun, waveguide, and collimator, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

No, 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Varian High Energy Linear Accelerator is a "radiotherapy treatment unit" that generates a "radiotherapy treatment beam." This device is used to treat conditions within the body by delivering radiation.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated." This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic use involving in vitro testing.

The device's function is to deliver radiation for treatment, which is fundamentally different from the purpose of an IVD.
