The Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 (brand names: Proteus ONE) is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The PTS may include a fixed small beam treatment room dedicated to the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation localized to the head and neck.
Device Description
The Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 (Proteus One, Proteus Plus, Proteus TK2) is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The system includes a proton accelerator (either an isochronous cyclotron (C230) or a Superconducting Synchro-Cyclotron (S2C2)) for beam production, which can be shared between several treatment rooms or directed to a single room. The system can be equipped with different types of treatment rooms, such as fixed beam or gantry rooms, connected to the beam line. The change introduced in this filing is the option of a new IBA Compact Beam Production System (CBPS) based on a Superconducting Synchro-Cyclotron (S2C2).
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a proton therapy system and its components, focusing on beam production and delivery. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a "Proton Therapy System" designed to "produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors," indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a proton accelerator (cyclotron or synchro-cyclotron), beam lines, and treatment rooms, indicating it is a physical system, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a "Proton Therapy System" designed to "produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation." This is a therapeutic device that directly interacts with the patient's body for treatment, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "treatment of patients," not for diagnostic testing of samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Classification Name

Medical Charged-Particle Radiation Therapy Systems. (21 C.F.R. $892.5050, Product Code LHN)

Trade Name: Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235, Proteus One, Proteus Plus, Proteus TK2.

Common Name: Proton Therapy System

Predicate Device

The IBA Proton Therapy System – Proteus 235 (PTS) with the addition of the IBA Compact Beam Production System is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared IBA Proton Therapy System (K132919) and to the S-250 Proton Beam Radiation Therapy system (K120676) from Mevion Medical Systems that includes a super conducting synchrocyclotron accelerator. The current PTS and its predicate devices have the same intended use and principles of operation, and are substantially equivalent in terms of technological characteristics.

Indication for Use

The intended use of the product (wth the addition of the IBA Compact Beam Production Systems (CBPS) is not changed in respect to the previously cleared intended use (including no change in labelling that would affect it):

"The Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 (brand names: Proteus Plus and Proteus ONE) is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The PTS may include a fixed small beam treatment room dedicated to the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation localized to the head and neck."

Pre-market notification description

The change introduced in the IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 and described in this filing is the introduction of an optionally new IBA Compact Beam Production System (CBPS). Compact Beam Production System (CBPS) feature consists of the introduction, as an option, of a SuperConducting Synchro-Cyclotron (S2C2), offering a compact and more affordable alternative to the isochronous cyclotron. Both synchrocyclotron and isochronous cyclotron are dedicated to the generation of high energy protons for protontherapy. This is accompanied by an adaptation of the beam delivery equipment, which directs the proton beam to the patient's treatment site, to process the beam produced by the S2C2.

Description of the device modification

This PTS corresponds to the previously cleared IBA Proton Therapy System (K132919) with the addition of IBA Compact Beam Production System (CBPS) based on a Superconducting Synchro-cyclotron (S2C2), which produces and delivers a proton beam for the treatment of patients.

Page 3

A Proteus 235 Proton Therapy System (PTS) includes one proton accelerator for the production of the beam which can be shared between several treatment rooms in the Proteus Plus configurations and directed towards one only room in the Proteus One configurations. With the actual change, the accelerator can be either the isochronous cyclotron (C230) as in the previously cleared IBA PTS, or a Superconducting Synchro-Cyclotron (S2C2). As before, the PTS can be equipped with treatment rooms of several types according to the range of beam incidences they offer: e.g. a fixed beam treatment room or a gantry treatment room. These rooms are connected to the beam line transporting the protons produced by the accelerator (C230 or S2C2).

This change has no impact on:

  • . The intended use(including no changes in labelling that would affect it);
  • The fundamental scientific technology of the Proteus 235 including operating ● principles and mechanism of action;
  • The product's clinical efficacy.

The following table gives a high level overview of the main characteristics of the IBA Superconducting Synchro-cyclotron (S2C2), compared to the predicate conventional IBA isochronous cyclotron (C230), as in the previously cleared PTS, and the predicate synchro-cyclotron from Mevion Medical Systems already used in Proton Therapy.
