ArcCHECK, Model 1220 is a three-dimensional (3D) ionizing radiation measurement device intended for radiotherapy quality assurance.
Device Description
ArcCHECK, Model 1220 is a three dimensional diode sensor used for ionizing radiation measurement for radiotherapy quality assurance. The cylindrical diode array is embedded in a cylindrical plastic phantom that allows for dosimetry measurements to be made from all gantry angles as the therapy beam rotates about the diode array. The provided GUI 'SNC Patient' software application installed on the user's computer and connected to the Model 1220 ArcCHECK by an 8 pin DIN cable, includes the following functions: - . Array and dose calibration. - Measurement and display of the spatial distribution of the dose resulting from delivery of a radiation treatment plan. - . Save measurements. - Import treatment plan dose map in the phantom and compares with the measurement dose points. - . Compare the measured and planned dose distribution using the analysis methods of gamma or dose difference and distance to agreement (DTA) with user specified analysis criteria. - Report of the analysis including a percent pass rate. ● - Perform quality assurance (QA) on the planned versus delivered multi leaf ● collimator (MLC) pattern as a function of time. The MLC QA is capable of detecting an error of 5mm or greater in the planned position of an MLC leaf. This submission introduces a 'primary' software modification to the cleared Model 1220 ArcCHECK device (K131466). Sun Nuclear intends to introduce a software feature which allows for the user to perform quality assurance (QA) on the planned versus delivered Multi Leaf Collimator (MLC) pattern. The MLC QA is capable of detecting an error of 5mm or greater in the planned position of an MLC leaf. This 'primary' modification which is believed to affect the indications for use, but not the intended use, is the subject of this premarket notification.

No
The description focuses on radiation measurement, dose comparison using standard metrics (gamma, DTA), and MLC pattern analysis based on a fixed threshold (5mm). There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition beyond predefined rules.

No.
The device is described as a "three-dimensional (3D) ionizing radiation measurement device intended for radiotherapy quality assurance," not for administering therapy itself.

No

This device is described as a "three-dimensional (3D) ionizing radiation measurement device intended for radiotherapy quality assurance." Its purpose is to measure and compare radiation doses and MLC patterns for QA, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly states that the ArcCHECK, Model 1220 is a "three dimensional diode sensor used for ionizing radiation measurement" and is "embedded in a cylindrical plastic phantom." This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software. While the submission focuses on a software modification, the device itself is not software-only.

Based on the provided text, the ArcCHECK, Model 1220 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for radiotherapy quality assurance." This involves measuring ionizing radiation delivered to a phantom, not analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The device measures radiation dose using diodes embedded in a phantom. It compares planned radiation doses with measured doses. This is a physical measurement process related to the delivery of radiation therapy, not a diagnostic test performed on a patient's biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological specimens, detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease.

Therefore, the ArcCHECK, Model 1220 is a device used for quality assurance in radiotherapy, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

3 Intended Use Statement:

ArcCHECK. Model 1220 is a three-dimensional (3D) ionizing radiation measurement device intended for radiotherapy quality assurance.

ব Technological Characteristics

The primary technological characteristics of ArcCHECK, Model 1220 is the high spatial resolution of the diode detector with an array size and a detector density that enables measurement of dose distributions that have high dose gradients found in radiotherapy deliveries. The spatial resolution of the diode detector results in very little dose volume averaging over the high dose gradient regions in the plan.

The ArcCHECK serves as a 3D Phantom with the detectors located on a 3D cylindrical surface embedded at a radiological depth of 3.3g/cm².

5 Performance Data and Comparison with Predicate

ArcCHECK. Model 1220 has been tested using appropriate bench testing methods. We have determined the software to be of 'Major Level of Concern' and have performed appropriate verification and validation testing.

Test results of the modified device have demonstrated that the device performs within its design specifications and equivalently to the predicate K131466 ArcCHECK device.

6 Summary

ArcCHECK. Model 1220 is believed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate ArcCHECK device due to the similarities in function, technology, and performance. The intended use, performance testing, safety and effectiveness reviews demonstrate that ArcCHECK, Model 1220 is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. The changes to the predicate device described within this submission are not thought to not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions.
