Intended Use

The OCTAVIUS System is intended to collect beam data for patient plan verification of a treatment planning system (TPS) and under the aspect of machine QA for the following purposes:

  • IMRT patient plan verification
  • periodic QA procedures, e.e. constancy checks
  • beam data analysis according to international therapy dosimetry protocols
  • measurements after repair or replacement of major treatment unit components
Device Description

The OCTAVIUS System is comprised of a two-dimensional ion chamber based detector array, uniformly arranged as a matrix and a separate detector interface for data acquisition. The detector array can be placed either in a static cubic or octagonal phantom or in a linear rotational phantom. For the measurement of moving radiation sources (e.g. the rotating gantry of a LINAC), the rotational phantom rotates synchronously with the gantry. An inclinometer, fixed to the gantry, delivers the gantry angle values which are used to align the rotating detector to the gantry. The whole system is controlled with software for data display and processing.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the OCTAVIUS System, a device for dosimetry measurements in radiotherapy, and its FDA 510(k) premarket notification. However, it does not contain a detailed study with specific acceptance criteria and reported device performance metrics in a tabular format, nor does it detail a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, ground truth establishment methods for training or test sets, or standalone algorithm performance.

Therefore, much of the requested information cannot be extracted directly from this document. Based on the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document states, "The FDA has not published any performance standards for this product," meaning specific quantitative acceptance criteria set by the FDA are not provided in this document. The document primarily focuses on verifying that the device "fulfills the design specification and its intended use."

Acceptance Criteria (General)Reported Device Performance (General)
Fulfills design specificationDemonstrated through software verification and validation testing.
Fulfills intended useDemonstrated through software verification and validation testing.
Electrical safety complianceCertified in compliance with IEC 61010-1:2010.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) complianceCertified in compliance with IEC 61326-1:2012 and 47 CFR Part 15 Subpart B.
Biocompatibility (for operator contact)Biologically uncritical due to contact with uninjured skin and non-critical materials.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size: Not specified in the provided text.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified in the provided text. The testing seems to be internal verification and validation of the device's functionality rather than a clinical study with patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not specified. The "ground truth" for this device appears to be its internal design specifications and the expected physical measurement outcomes, rather than expert-labeled data for an AI algorithm.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable as no expert-based ground truth establishment or adjudication method is described.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned. The OCTAVIUS System is a dosimetry measurement device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically involve human readers interpreting images.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • The document implies that the device's software was tested in isolation ("software verification and validation testing results were conducted and submitted"). The device itself is a measurement system, and its "performance" is its ability to accurately collect beam data. It's not an AI algorithm in the traditional sense that operates autonomously on diagnostic data or has a "human-in-the-loop" for interpretation.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • The implicit "ground truth" for the OCTAVIUS System's performance would be the physical reality of radiation dose distributions and the design specifications of the device for measuring these distributions accurately. The verification and validation process likely involved comparing the device's measurements against known or highly calibrated standards.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. The OCTAVIUS System is a physical measurement device, not an AI system that undergoes "training" on a data set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable for the same reason as above.

10.Device Description:The OCTAVIUS System is comprised of a two-dimensional ionchamber based detector array, uniformly arranged as a matrixand a separate detector interface for data acquisition. The detectorarray can be placed either in a static cubic or octagonalphantom or in a linear rotational phantom. For the measure-ment of moving radiation sources (e.g. the rotating gantry of aLINAC), the rotational phantom rotates synchronously with thegantry. An inclinometer, fixed to the gantry, delivers the gantryangle values which are used to align the rotating detector to thegantry. The whole system is controlled with software for datadisplay and processing.
11.Intended Use:The PTW OCTAVIUS System is used for dosimetry measure-ments in the context of a radiotherapy system, e.g. a medicallinear accelerator (LINAC), electron or photon beams, a particletherapy system or a Cobalt-60 treatment machine. The deviceis intended for the measurement of dose distributions and thecomparison with the data as calculated by the treatment plan-ning system (patient plan verification) and/or for periodic qualityassurance procedures according to the QA plan of the respon-sible medical physicist (e.g. constancy checks).
12.Indications:The OCTAVIUS System is intended to collect beam data forpatient plan verification of a treatment planning system (TPS)and under the aspect of machine QA for the following purpos-es:– IMRT patient plan verification– periodic QA procedures, e.g. constancy checks– beam data analysis according to international therapy do-simetry protocols– measurements after repair or replacement of major treat-ment unit components
13.Contraindications:The OCTAVIUS System is for QA purposes and must not beused while a patient is present.It must not be used for Diagnostic Radiology.The resulting measurement data is for data verification of thepatient plan and must not be used to control the radiotherapydevice by importing the data into the therapy patient plan.
14.Intended User:The OCTAVIUS System must be used only by qualified per-sonnel, usually the medical physicists responsible for the radio-therapy system or an authorized person.
15.Substantial equivalenceThe characteristics of this device are similar to those of thepredicate devices identified on the comparison chart, which isprovided with the premarket notification submission. It is ouropinion that the OCTAVIUS does not have technological char-acteristics that raise additional types of questions related toterms of safety and effectiveness.
Differences to the predicate devices:OCTAVIUS provide ion chambers for radiation detection whilepredicate devices utilize semiconductor technology.Both methods are used since many years and provide equalperformance and accuracy.No additional safety issue is raised by using different detectortypes.
16.Performance Data:The FDA has not published any performance standards for thisproduct.
Biocompatibility:The device is used for pre-treatment quality assurance while nopatient is present. Since the contact of the operator with thedevice occurs only with uninjured skin and the surface of thedevice components contains no critical material, the contactwith the operator is biologically uncritical.
Electrical & mechanicalsafety and electromagneticcompatibility (EMC):Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted by inde-pendent test laboratories. OCTAVIUS is certified as in compli-ance with IEC 61010-1:2010 (with no patient contact of theproduct the focus is directed to user safety) and IEC 61326-1:2012 (emission and immunity) / CISPR 11:2009+A1:2010(RF technology) and 47 CFR Part 15 Subpart B.
