No
The description explicitly states the segmentation methods are "semi-automatic" and require user input (seed points). It also emphasizes manual editing tools and the clinician's ultimate responsibility, indicating a lack of fully automated, AI/ML-driven processes. The absence of mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, and the lack of details on training/test sets further support this conclusion.
No.
This device is a software application used for treatment planning in radiotherapy by assisting with anatomical volume definition and segmentation; it does not directly apply therapy to a patient.
No
The device is described as an oncology application used to assist treatment planning by preparing geometric and anatomical data for external beam radiotherapy and segmenting anatomical volumes. It does not provide a diagnosis or aid in making clinical diagnostic decisions. The text states that "the clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis and patient management decisions."
Yes
The device description explicitly states it is a "CT/MR/PET oncology application" and "software," and the entire summary focuses on the software's functionality for image processing and segmentation for treatment planning. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware component that is part of the medical device itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- AdvantageSim™ MD's Function: AdvantageSim™ MD is a software application used for radiotherapy treatment planning. It processes medical images (CT, MR, PET) to define anatomical volumes and geometric parameters for external beam radiation therapy. It assists clinicians in preparing for treatment, not in diagnosing a condition based on a biological sample.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "preparing geometric and anatomical data relating to a proposed external beam radiotherapy treatment prior to dosimetry planning." This is a treatment planning function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description reinforces its role in "assist treatment planning" and "provide MR based prostate and pelvic organs-at-risk segmentation" for this purpose.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing tests on bodily fluids or tissues.
In summary, AdvantageSim™ MD is a medical device used in the field of radiation oncology for treatment planning, which is distinct from in vitro diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
AdvantageSim™ MD is used to prepare geometric and anatomical data relating to a proposed external beam radiotherapy treatment prior to dosimetry planning. Anatomical volumes can be defined automatically or manually in three dimensions using a set of CT images acquired with the patient in the proposed treatment position.
Definition of the anatomical volumes may be assisted by additional CT, MR or PET studies that have been co-registered with the planning CT scan. Additionally, CT & PET data from a respiratory tracked examination may be used to allow the user to define the target or treatment volume over a defined range of the respiratory cycle.
The geometric parameters of a proposed treatment field are selected to allow non-dosimetric, interactive optimization of field coverage. Defined anatomical structures and geometric treatments fields are displayed on transverse images, on reformatted sagittal, coronal or oblique images, on 3 D views created from the images, or on a beam eye's view display with or without the display of defined structures with or without the display of digitally reconstructed radiograph.
AdvantageSim™ MD with MR pelvic organ at risk segmentation Option is used to provide MR based prostate and pelvic organs-at-risk segmentation. A suite of semi-automated MR based organ segmentation contouring allows generating complex structures around organs at risk. These contours overlay on the co-registered CT planning image.

Device Description
AdvantageSim™ MD is a CT/MR/PET oncology application used by clinicians (radiologist, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist nuclear medicine physicians and trained healthcare professional) to assist treatment planning.
AdvantageSim MD with MR pelvic organ at risk segmentation Option is used to provide MR based prostate and pelvic organs-at-risk segmentation. A suite of semi-automated MR based organ segmentation contouring allows generating complex structures around organs at risk. These contours overlay on the co-registered CT planning image.
The segmentation methods in the modified device are semi-automatic. The user has to place seed points to identify an inner point of the organ to contour.
The software offers a suite of manual contour editing tools enabling the user to edit, modify, or change contours generated from the MR segmentation tools to their desired configuration based on their medical and clinical knowledge and experience. The results provided by the software needs to be approved by the experienced clinician and can always be modified or corrected by him/her. It is up to the expert user to accept the result without any change, reject it completely and delineate manually, or modify the result and then save it. The software does not provide any auto-detection or auto-saving functionalities.
Same as the predicate devices, the clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis and patient management decisions based on their standard practices and visual comparison of the individual images, regardless of the accuracy of the output generated by the software.

A usability study using consented clinical images was conducted by three board certified Radiation Oncologists who were considered experts. The study was meant to assess the following:
- Accuracy of measurement
- Precision of the measurement
- Efficiency, as a comparison of amount of time
- General user Qualitative feedback
The study results demonstrated that when used by qualified clinician the new software device has the potential to reduce inter-operator variability, provides statistically significant and practically meaningful clinical efficiency improvements and substantiates the characteristics of this feature, among others, as easy to learn, useful, efficient and providing increased throughput.
