No
The description focuses on "atlas and model based approach" and "knowledge based contouring" using a library of expert cases, which are characteristic of traditional image processing and rule-based systems, not explicitly AI/ML. The absence of mentions of AI, DNN, or ML further supports this.
No
This device is a software tool used in the radiation therapy treatment planning process for segmenting structures, not for directly treating a condition. Its function is to assist in planning, not to provide therapy itself.
No
The device aids in radiation therapy treatment planning by segmenting structures, which is a part of treatment planning, not a diagnostic step to identify a disease or condition.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "Smart Segmentation - Knowledge Based Contouring is a software only product".
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.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a software product used for segmentation of structures in 4D-CT data sets to support the radiation therapy treatment planning process. It works with medical images, not biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is directly related to medical imaging and treatment planning, not laboratory testing of biological specimens.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software or radiation therapy planning software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Smart Segmentation - Knowledge Based Contouring provides a combined atlas and model based approach for automated and manual segmentation of structures including target volumes and organs at risk to support the radiation therapy treatment planning process.

Device Description
The Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring was most recently cleared as the Varian Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring, K112778.
Smart Segmentation - Knowledge Based Contouring is a software only product that provides a combined atlas and model based approach to automated segmentation of structures together with tools for manual contouring or editing of structures. A library of already contoured expert cases is provided which is searchable by anatomy, staging, or free text. Users also have the ability to add or modify expert cases to suit their clinical needs. Expert cases are registered to the target image and selected structures propagated. Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring supports inter and intra user consistency in contouring. This product also provides an anatomy atlas which gives examples of delineated organs for the whole upper body, as well as anatomy images and functional description for selectable structures.

8. Substantial Equivalence
The modified device, the Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, the Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring (K112778) and Eclipse (K102011). The Intended Use and Indications for Use are unchanged.
Compared with the predicate devices, the Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring (K112778) and Eclipse with Smart Segmentation (K102011), the basic operation and technological characteristics are the same. Operational differences are described in the Instructions for Use for the SS-KBC 2.1. A comparison table illustrating the substantial equivalence of the modified device to the predicate devices appears below.

Dear Mr. Coronado:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
