The PTS is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The PTS may include a fixed small beam treatment room dedicated to the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation localized to the head and neck.

Device Description

The device corresponds to the previously cleared IBA proton therapy system (K101508) with the addition of a compact Gantry Beam line designed to produce and deliver a proton beam from various directions in a range of 220° for the treatment of patients.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a modification to the IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235, specifically the introduction of a Compact Gantry Beam Line (CGBL). This document is primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than a comprehensive study report with detailed acceptance criteria and performance data from clinical trials.

Therefore, many of the requested sections about specific study methodologies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, and comparative effectiveness (MRMC) cannot be fully addressed from the provided text. The document focuses on comparing technological characteristics and functionality to establish equivalence.

Here's an attempt to extract the information based on the provided text, with significant limitations due to the nature of the document:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document presents a comparison of the modified device (Compact Gantry Beam Line) against the predicate device (360° Gantry Beam Line) for various characteristics. In the context of a 510(k), the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the predicate device's performance, meaning the new device must meet or be substantially equivalent to these values.

Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria:

The document states that the "Risk management approach that has been applied for the development of the Compact Gantry Beam Line is described in MID 38870. As described in this document, Risk Analyzes have been performed to identify possible risks associated with the Compact Gantry Beam Line and define appropriate risk mitigations. The main mitigation principles are already applied in the existing beam lines 360°."

It also asserts that "the modified product does not induce changes nor any new limitations for clinical use (and therefore all existing clinical evidence remains valid)."

And concludes: "The new Compact Gantry fulfills the same primary functions as the 360° Gantry... It allows reaching the same clinical performances."

This suggests that the "study" proving the device meets the criteria is primarily an engineering and risk analysis comparison against an existing, cleared device, demonstrating that the changes do not negatively impact performance or safety in the context of its intended use. There is no mention of a
new clinical study with patient data for this 510(k) submission.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

Not applicable. The document does not describe a clinical test set with patient data for this 510(k) submission. The comparison is based on technical specifications and engineering assessments.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable. The document does not describe a test set requiring expert-established ground truth. The technical specifications are objectively measurable.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. There is no test set in the clinical sense mentioned in the document.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is a radiation therapy system, not an AI or imaging diagnostic aid that would involve human readers. The document details a physical component modification to an existing therapeutic device.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable for a clinical ground truth. The "ground truth" in this context refers to the established technical and functional performance of the predicate device (360° Gantry Beam Line) against which the modified Compact Gantry Beam Line is compared through engineering analysis and risk assessment.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning, therefore, there is no training set mentioned or implied.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. As there is no training set for machine learning.

Classification Name

Medical charged-particle radiation therapy systems. (21 C.F.R. §892.5050)

Predicate Device

The IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 (PTS) is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared IBA proton therapy

system (K101508). The current PTS and its predicate device have the same intended use and principles of operation, and are substantially equivalent in terms of performance and technological characteristics.

Like its predicate IBA PTS device, this modified PTS is a device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for treatment of a patient. As its predicate device, it is intended for use in the therapeutic application of a proton beam for the treatment of localized tumours or other diseases that are susceptible to treatment by radiation.

The technological aspects of a patient treatment consist of protons generated by the beam supply equipment, directed to the patient's treatment site by the beam delivery system. The patient is put into the correct position relative to the beam by a positioning system. The current IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 and its predicate device both consist of a beam production equipment which generates the beam used by a beam delivery systems including a patient positioning system.

The predicate device also provides the same or substantially equivalent functions, characteristics, and accessories as does the currently modified PTS.

Indication for Use

The PTS is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The PTS may include a fixed small beam treatment room dedicated to the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation localized to the head and neck.

The indication for use is identical to the one of the predicate device.

Pre-market notification description

The change introduced in the IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 and described in this filing is the availability of a new IBA 220° Compact Gantry. The IBA 220° Compact Gantry combines the following advantages:

  • -Uncompromised positioning treatment options provided by a continuously adjustable treatment angle combined with 6° freedom of movement offered by the patient positioner. All treatment angle can be achieved;

{2}------------------------------------------------

  • The most compact gantry design ever developed for proton therapy, while still enabling easy patient access and non coplanar treatments.

Description of the device

The device corresponds to the previously cleared IBA proton therapy system (K101508) with the addition of a compact Gantry Beam line designed to produce and deliver a proton beam from various directions in a range of 220° for the treatment of patients.

Technological Characteristics

The IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 is designed to: (1) create and deliver the proton beam to the patient treatment location; (2) produce a transverse and longitudinal dose distribution appropriate for the patient's treatment; and (3) deliver the designated dose to the patient's treatment site. The PTS has two primary components: (1) the beam supply equipment, which directs the proton beam to the patient's treatment site within the patient treatment location and ensures that the clinical functions are properly and safely accomplished; and (2) the beam supply equipment, which includes a cyclotron, an energy selection system and a delivery system to produce the proton beam and deliver it to the patient treatment locations. In addition to these primary components, the PTS includes a Therapy Safety System to protect against unsafe conditions, having both automatic and manual controls to shut down the PTS in the event that any problem occurs; and a computer-based Therapy Control System which controls the parameters of the proton beam.

The change in the device that triggered this submission is the introduction of a Compact Gantry Beam Line (CGBL), which consists of:

  • Another type of rotating isocentric gantry called Compact Gantry. Like . other gantries, already part of the current Proteus 235, the CGBL supports a beam line and an associated nozzle supporting the scanning delivery technique, plus it can optionally integrate the energy selection system for a one-room configuration
    The new Compact Gantry Beam Line modification is a simplification of the already existing 360° gantry beam line.

The changes are mainly limited to the gantry components and some of its interfaces.

Compared to the beam line with a 360° gantry, the radius of the compact gantry beam line is reduced, but the modified product does not induce changes nor any new limitations for clinical use (and therefore all existing clinical evidence remains valid):

{3}------------------------------------------------

a treatment fraction is still composed of one or more treatment fields where the proton beam will be pointed to the patient's tumor from one or more incidence angles. Those incidence angles are defined by both the direction of the beam realized by the gantry and the position and orientation of the patient support. To realize a particular incidence anale with respect to the patient, different combinations of gantry angles and patient positioner configurations are possible. Treatment rooms equipped with a 360° rotating gantry, promote gantry movements rather than patient support system movements. The compact gantry will use additional top rotations to cover the same range of beam incidences with respect to the patient in coplanar treatments.

With the CGBL, the Pencil Beam Scanning delivery technique is the delivery technique of choice. It allows intensity modulated proton therapy which is the most advanced technique to treat in proton therapy today. The fact of supporting one delivery technique results in decreasing the size of the nozzle which is beneficial for the access around the patient. Despite the maximum field size has been decreased to 24 cm x 20 cm, the same tumor size coverage can be guaranteed as in the 360° gantry beam line by using matching fields.

As for the previously cleared IBA proton therapy system, the CGBL is equipped with a patient positioning imaging system. With the CGBL, the nozzle is equipped with an Imaging Equipment insertion mechanism composed of 2 opposed moveable arms that can hold imaging equipment. These arms can be extracted from and retracted into the nozzle. Integrated with the appropriate imaging system (internal/external system) this allows planar X-ray imaging. In addition, thanks to the capability of pre-programmed gantry motion without continuous activation by the user, the compact gantry beam line is ready to support volumetric imaging at isocenter.

In conclusion, based on the above description, the predicate device has been modified as follows:

  • a smaller gantry structure by reducing the angular range .
  • . optionally a shorter beamline by integrating the energy selection system into the beamline on the gantry for a one-room configuration
  • . a smaller nozzle size by including only Pencil Beam Scanning delivery technique and reducing field size

The risk management approach that has been applied for the development of the Compact Gantry Beam Line is described in MID 38870. As described in this document, Risk Analyzes have been performed to identify possible risks associated with the Compact Gantry Beam Line and define appropriate risk mitigations. The main mitigation principles are already applied in the existing beam lines 360°.

Impact on the existing IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235

The predicate device architecture is not modified. The impacts are limited to some very specific areas.

.

{5}------------------------------------------------

  • . A new beam line configuration is added to the product. When there are multiple rooms connected to the source (accelerator), it shall be possible to switch the beam to the Compact Gantry Beam Line (same principle as in Proteus 235 predicate device).
  • The building is adapted in order to offer the appropriate structural and . shielding interface with the Compact Gantry Beam Line.
    • Nevertheless, there are no changes in the gantry fixation o technology to the building structure (anchors), the only adaptations are the smaller room dimensions and the interface dimensions due to the specific configuration.
  • The Beam Line equipments (magnets, monitors) use the same technology . and are adapted to the specific Compact Gantry Beam Line configuration (E.g. beam trajectories, interface assembly).
  • The specific equipments required for the energy selection system (ESS) . are optional on the gantry depending on the treatment center configuration

Conclusion

The new Compact Gantry fulfills the same primary functions as the 360° Gantry.

  • It provides an isocentric rotating structure that rotates the beam axis in a . plane perpenticular to the rotation axis, through a common isocenter within the required precision.
  • It supports the movable portion of the beam transport line, a nozzle and an . Imaging Equipment Insertion mechanism.
  • It quarantees the same patient clearance as with the 360° gantry. .
  • . It allows reaching the same clinical performances.
