No
The document describes a standard radiation therapy planning system with image processing capabilities and forward/inverse planning modes. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts in the provided text. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field explicitly states "Not Found".
No
The device is a software package for planning radiation therapy, not a device that directly administers therapy or acts as a therapeutic agent itself. It assists clinicians in formulating treatment plans.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Radiation Therapy Planning System." Its function is to assist clinicians in formulating treatment plans by maximizing dose to the treatment volume and minimizing dose to surrounding normal tissues. It imports image data (CT, MR, PET, PET-CT, SPECT) for viewing and analyzing patient anatomy and generating a radiation therapy plan. This is a planning and treatment support tool, not a diagnostic tool that identifies disease or conditions.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that the Pinnacle3® Radiation Therapy Planning System is a "software package" that runs on a server and is accessed through clients or workstations. While it interacts with hardware (servers, workstations, imaging devices), the device itself, as described, is the software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as providing "planning support for the treatment of disease processes" using various radiation therapy techniques. This is a treatment planning system, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The description details a software package that processes medical images (CT, MR, PET, etc.) to assist qualified medical personnel in creating radiation therapy plans. It does not mention analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis.
The Pinnacle3® Radiation Therapy Planning System is a medical device used in the planning phase of radiation therapy treatment, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic process.

The device has network capability to other Pinnacle® RTP System workstations, thin client, and to both input and output devices via local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).
Image data is imported from CT, MR, PET, PET-CT and SPECT devices using a DICOM-compliant interface. A qualified medical professional uses the Pinnacle3® RTP System for functions such as viewing and analyzing the patient's anatomy, and generating a radiation therapy plan. The following are examples of tasks that may be performed by clinicians when using the base features of the Pinnacle3® RTP system:
- Perform proton, photon, and electron physics modeling, dose algorithm and machine commissioning.
- Evaluate the treatment plan based on radiation-sensitive structures and the tumor.
- Combine both geometric and dosimetric planning on the same ● platform, including CT simulation data and plans.
- Configure beam variables such as energy, geometry, and beam modifiers such as blocks, wedges, multi-leaf collimators, bolus, aperture and compensators.
- Visualize the beam on a display, initiate the dose computation, and set the weight of each beam.
- Obtain dose values at any Points of Interest (POI).
- Evaluate Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs) . on Pinnacle3® RTP or remote system using DICOM Secondary Capture (SC) Export.
Once complete, the Pinnacle3® RTP System has the ability to transfer the finished plan to other devices used in the therapy process such as an Oncology Information System (OIS), Linear Accelerator (Linac), and/or 3rd Party QA systems.
