No
The description focuses on image processing and comparison with DRRs, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms.
No.
The device is used for verification and correction of patient position during radiotherapy treatment, which is a supportive function to optimize the delivery of therapy rather than directly providing therapy itself.
No
Explanation: The device is used for patient position verification and correction during radiotherapy, not for diagnosing a disease or condition. While it uses imaging, its purpose is to ensure accurate treatment delivery.
No
The device description explicitly states that "VeriSuite is a system of devices consisting of the VeriSuite software and a number of hardware devices."
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 VeriSuite system is described as an image processing system used for patient position verification and correction during radiotherapy treatment. It uses external imaging modalities (X-ray and CT) and does not analyze samples taken from the patient's body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly focused on ensuring accurate patient positioning for radiation therapy, not on diagnosing or monitoring a disease through analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, the VeriSuite system falls under the category of medical devices used in treatment delivery and imaging, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VeriSuite patient position verification and correction of the patient's position during a radiotherapy treatment with external beams or charged particles. It is based on stereoscopic X-ray images and DRRs calculated from a CT image series of the treatment region of the patient and information from the treatment planning.

Device Description
VeriSuite is an image processing system for verification and correction of the patient position during a radiation therapy treatment. The verification or correction is performed by a comparison of X-ray images that are acquired during the treatment with DRRs (digital reconstructed radiographs) calculated from a CT image series of the patient and information from the radiation therapy planning. The correction can also be based on fiducial, radio-opaque markers that are implanted in the patient.
With the fluoroscopy extension it is possible to observe the position of the patient and the treatment area during the treatment. Mainly the movements of the patient caused by breathing are in the focus. This information can be used to interrupt the treatment by the user.
VeriSuite is a system of devices consisting of the VeriSuite software and a number of hardware devices:

The diagram also includes a VeriSuite Workstation running Windows XP Professional, with components such as VeriSuite Application, Varian DLLs PaxScan API L04, and Network Cards Intel PRO 1000 GT.
All these hardware devices are legally marketed in the US as listed in the table above.
G. Intended Use
VeriSuite is an active therapeutic medical device for verification of the patient position and calculation of a correction vector for the treatment of tumors during a radiation therapy with photons, electrons (from a linear accelerator) or particles (protons, heavy ions).
The VeriSuite system calculates digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) based on a high-resolution CT data set for a treatment position. With these DRRs and Xray images acquired during the performance of the position verification procedure a correction vector for the patient position can be calculated.
The VeriSuite® system with fluoroscopy extension provides the possibility to a medical user to observe the position of the patient and the treatment area during the treatment, mainly the movements of the patient caused by breathing. This information can be used to interrupt the treatment.
An authorized person must evaluate the correctness of the calculation and approve the result for further usage. The system shall only be used after correct installation in appropriate treatment rooms by trained personnel. Legal regulations especially requlation for the operation of X-ray devices must be regarded.
VeriSuite must not be used for diagnostic purposes.
H. Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices
The changed device VeriSuite 1.8 (build number B641.4, subject of this submission) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device VeriSuite 1.8 (K092653) except the fluoroscopy extension.

Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: This image shows handwritten text on a white background. The text includes "K133914" at the top, followed by "Page 4 of 4" in a cursive style. Additionally, there is a printed line of text at the bottom left that reads "Page 9 of 44". The handwriting appears to be done with a dark ink pen.
The fluoroscopy extension of VeriSuite is substantially equivalent to the fluoroscopy functionality of the predicate device EXACTRAC 5.5 / ExacTrac X-RAY 6D (K072506) in terms of intended use and technology.
In contrast to EXACTRAC 5.5, VeriSuite does not support optical prepositioning and internal respiratory gating signal display. Because of the reproducibility of the patient preposition due to the fixation of the patient, optical prepositioning is not required in the VeriSuite environment. Respiratory gating can be displayed using external devices.
Minor differences exist in the hardware used in terms of resolution of the flat panels, x-ray image and pixel size, which are higher for VeriSuite.
Refer to section XII for a detailed predicate device comparison.
l. Non-clinical Performance Data
Non-clinical verification and validation software tests were conducted to confirm that VeriSuite 1.8 with fluoroscopy meets its intended use and is safe and effective. See section XVI.I for details.
J. Conclusion
Based on the information provided in this Premarket Notification MedCom concludes that VeriSuite 1.8 with fluoroscopy extension is as safe and effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices described herein.
