More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on traditional software tools for treatment planning.

No
The device is a treatment planning system used to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments, not to deliver the treatment itself.

No

Explanation: The device is a treatment planning system used to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments, not to diagnose diseases.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "computer-based software device" and the summary focuses on software verification and validation, with no mention of accompanying hardware components being part of the device itself.

Based on the provided information, the Eclipse Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Eclipse TPS is used to plan radiotherapy treatments for malignant or benign diseases. This involves designing and simulating radiation delivery to a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it provides software tools for planning the treatment and is used by medical professionals to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Eclipse TPS does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens. Its function is focused on the delivery of treatment based on imaging data.

While it uses imaging modalities like CT, MR, and PET, these are used for anatomical information to guide the treatment planning process, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical Testing: Verification and Validation were performed for all the new features and regression testing was performed against the existing features of Eclipse. System requirements created or affected by the changes can be traced to the test outcomes. The outcome was that the product conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses and that there were no DRs (discrepancy reports) remaining which had a priority of Safety Intolerable or Customer Intolerable. Varian therefore considers Eclipse 13.7 to be safe and effective and to perform at least as well as the predicate device.

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.

  • A compatible feature has not been released and using the feature is blocked either by not including it in the distribution media for the indicated version(s) or by licensing.

Non-clinical Testing

Verification and Validation were performed for all the new features and regression testing was performed against the existing features of Eclipse. System requirements created or affected by the changes can be traced to the test outcomes.

Conclusion of Non-Clinical testing

The outcome was that the product conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses and that there were no DRs (discrepancy reports) remaining which had a priority of Safety Intolerable or Customer Intolerable. Varian therefore considers Eclipse 13.7 to be safe and effective and to perform at least as well as the predicate device.

Argument for Substantial Equivalence to the Predicate Device

A subset of features of the current device is different to the predicate. Of these, the significant changes compared with the predicate are associated with Acuros Proton Therapy, Field Specific PTV and Acuros BV intermediate dose calculation to volumetric optimizer.

These changes are all considered by Varian to be enhancements of the predicate. The Indications for Use and the Intended Use remain unchanged. There are no changes in the principle of operation of the software. The Verification and Validation demonstrates that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate. Varian therefore believes that Eclipse TPS is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
