The summary describes software for controlling a patient positioning couch in radiation therapy. It focuses on interfacing with other systems and manual user control for positioning. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that suggest automated decision-making or learning from data for positioning or other functions. The performance studies are focused on basic functionality and interfacing, not on AI/ML performance metrics.
No
The device is described as patient positioning software used in conjunction with radiation treatments, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease. Its function is to facilitate the positioning of the patient for therapeutic radiation, not to provide the therapy itself.
No.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" clearly state that the software is for patient positioning after diagnostic decisions have been made. It interfaces with existing systems to control the patient's position but does not itself make diagnostic decisions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the software "interfaces with the Couch Hardware (K031866)" and is intended to operate the "Protura Couch (6 Degree Axis Couch)". This indicates a dependency on and interaction with physical hardware, making it a software component of a larger medical device system, not a standalone software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, the Protura Couch Software is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Protura Couch Software Function: The description clearly states that the Protura Couch Software is used for patient positioning during radiation treatments. It interfaces with other systems to control the movement of a treatment couch.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the software analyzing any biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. Its function is purely related to the physical positioning of the patient.
Therefore, the Protura Couch Software falls under the category of a medical device used in radiation therapy, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Protura Couch Software is intended to interface between record and verify systems, linear accelerator (Linac) software systems, 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 1.3.0 (Part No. MT6XSM1.3.0), 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 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 record and verify systems, Linac software systems, Linac safeguard systems, and/or image guidance systems.
