No
The device description focuses on physical components for patient positioning and immobilization, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device's intended use is for patient positioning during radiotherapy and radio diagnostics, which are therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, respectively. However, the device itself is a positioning aid, not an active therapeutic agent. It does not directly provide therapy or diagnosis; rather, it facilitates the accurate delivery of such procedures.
No
Explanation: The device description clearly states its purpose is "Positioning of the patient during radiotherapy and radio diagnostics". It describes physical components like baseplates, headsupports, and masks used to fix the patient's position. This is a patient positioning and immobilization system, not a device that analyzes biological data or images to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description details various physical components like baseplates, headsupports, masks, and cushions, which are hardware used for patient positioning. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Positioning of the patient during radiotherapy and radio diagnostics, including MR where indicated." This describes a device used on the patient for positioning during medical procedures, not a device used to examine specimens from the patient to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The description details physical devices like baseplates, headsupports, masks, and boards used to physically position and immobilize patients. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as reagents, calibrators, controls, or analytical methods for detecting substances or characteristics in biological specimens.
In summary, the device is a patient positioning and immobilization system used in a clinical setting, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Device Description
Baseplates and headsupports which are designed to position the head and neck and on which thermoplastic masks can be attached to fix the head and neck of the patient. Baseplates can be positioned on the couch using CouchStrips. The ExaFix-IMRT baseplates are attached onto the couches and extent the head of the patient from the couch at the cranial side. Various accessories offered for specific patient head and neck set-ups. The different headsupports are designed for different head positions. Different blocks are available for lifting the head, wedges and ExaTilt to incline the head. For the Exafix-5 baseplate an acrylic alternative (Exafix-5a) is available for identical head- and neck positioning in the MR environment. For the IMRT baseplates a glassfiber alternative (Exafix IMRT baseplate MR) is available for identical head- and neck positioning in MR environment. The MR safe devices have a 3Pin slot on the bottomside and are compatible with the glassfiber 3Pin CouchStrip. The MR unsafe devices are not compatible with the 3Pin MR safe CouchStrip, which prevents the use in the wrong environment.
The BreastBoard LX and ThoraxSupports are devices which position the breast and lung area of a patient. The arms are placed above the head and a headsupport can be placed into the baseplate. The backsupport of the BreastBoard LX can be tilted, to tilt the upperpart of the patient´s body for other treatment possibilities. The ThoraxSupport does not have this tilting possibility. Various accessories are provided for positioning of the arms or the thorax.
For the ThoraxSupport a glassfiber MR alternative (Thoraxsupport MR) is available for identical lung and thorax positioning in MR environment. The MR safe device has a 3Pin slot on the bottomside and is compatible with the glassfiber 3Pin CouchStrip. The MR unsafe devices are not compatible with the 3Pin MR safe CouchStrip, which prevents the use in the wrong environment.
Baseplates which are designed to position the pelvic or (lower) extremities of a patient. The Pelvic Prone Board positions the patient in prone position with the arms in cranial direction, belly is placed in an aperture. The shape of the pelvic prone board moves the small bowel and reduces the irradiated small bowel volume while treating the lower abdomen.
The LEPS position the legs on a KneeSupport which can be tilted and the feet are positioned in a FeetSupport. Both baseplates can be positioned on the couch using fixation rails.
For the Pelvic Prone Board a glassfiber MR alternative (Pelvic Prone Board MR) is available for identical positioning in MR environment. The LEPS is a MR safe device. The MR safe devices have 3Pin slots on the bottomside and are compatible with the glassfiber 3Pin CouchStrip. The MR unsafe device is not compatible with the 3Pin MR safe CouchStrip, which prevents the use in the wrong environment.
The SBRT systems (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Systems) are devices which can position various bodyparts of the patient. The MacroMedics SBRT systems are carbon fiber baseplates over which various plastic bridges can be placed with attached accessories to position the patient's body. The SBRT OmniBoard does have an inclination possibility of the upper body. The accessories are identical, but the baseboards are different, each baseboard has slightly different features for customer preferences. The patient set-up is similar on all boards, supine position with the arms mainly positioned above the patient's head. Bottom, knees and feet positioned in indexed positions.
Vacuumcushions are used for positioning by moulding the cushion around the patients and then take the air out with a vacuumpump. The contrashape of the patient stays in the cushion during the treatment.
CouchStrips are strips which connect the patient positioning device onto the couch at indexed positions. Depending on the indexing system of the couch, width of the couch, preference in transverse adjustability and required MR safety different types are available.
The SBRT carbon fiber baseplates are MR unsafe and have a 2Pin CouchStrip slot. They are not compatible with the 3Pin MR CouchStrip, which prevents the use in the wrong environment. The CouchStrips for MR are made out of MR safe materials and have 3pins. MR unsafe devices have a 2Pin CouchStrip slot on the bottomside and are not compatible with this 3Pin MR CouchStrip. The Vacuumcushions are MR safe.
MacroMedics thermoplastic masks are developed in order to position the individual patient. The thermoplastic masks are placed in a waterbath of about 70 degrees where they become flexible. After drying and cooling, they make a perfect contramould of the bodypart which needs to be positioned. Plastic profiles attach the mask onto the baseplate. Masks and profiles are available in many different shapes, in order to fit on different baseplates and bodyparts.
DSPS offers a possibility to create a thermoplastic mask for both occipital- and facial areas for extra accurate positioning. Both masks are attached onto the DSPS cradle, and the DSPS cradle is attached onto the baseplate.
MacroMedics thermoplastic masks with plastic profiles are MR safe.

After drying and cooling, they make a perfect contramould of the bodypart which needs to be positioned. Plastic profiles attach the mask onto the baseplate. Masks and profiles are available in many different shapes, in order to fit on different baseplates and bodyparts.
DSPS offers a possibility to create a thermoplastic mask for both occipital- and facial areas for extra accurate positioning. Both masks are attached onto the DSPS cradle, and the DSPS cradle is attached onto the baseplate.
MacroMedics thermoplastic masks with plastic profiles are MR safe.

Thermoplastic positioning systems (2/2)
Comparision of technological characteristics:
The designs of the MacroMedics and predicate systems are equivalent in construction, design, materials and functionality. Both the predicate and the MacroMedics masks are made out of thermoplastics which are cut in shape and glued or welded into plastic injection moulded profiles. Both thermoplastic masks become soft in warm water and make a contrashape of the patient and are connected onto a baseplate, where they become a rigid patient positioning device after cooling. The DSPS cradle is made out of a carbon fiber construction and can be positioned on the baseplate. With the DSPS both a facial and occipital contrashape can be moulded and fixed. The predicate Medtec and CIVCO devices provide a similar occipital moulding possibility.
Substantial equivalence summary:
MacroMedics claims the proposed thermoplastic positioning systems to be substantially equivalent to the devices previously cleared by the FDA in the 510(k)'s specified above. These devices are also cleared for use in a radiotherapy and/or MR environment.
MacroMedics claims this equivalence because the proposed devices have equivalent designs, intended uses, target population, product handling, patient positioning and used materials. Although small technological differences exist, these products have similar position and immobilization characteristics for use radiotherapy and radio-diagnostics.
