Intended Use

The Eclipse Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS) is used to plan radiotherapy treatments with malignant or benign diseases. Eclipse TPS is used to plan external beam irradiation with photon, electron and proton beams, as well as for internal irradiation (brachytherapy) treatments. In addition, the Eclipse Proton Eye algorithm is specifically indicated for planning proton treatment of neoplasms of the eye.

Device Description

The Varian Eclipse™ Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS) provides software tools for planning the treatment of malignant or benign diseases with radiation. Eclipse TPS is a computer-based software device used by trained medical professionals to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments. Eclipse TPS is capable of planning treatments for external beam irradiation with photon, electron, and proton beams, as well as for internal irradiation (brachytherapy) treatments.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Eclipse Treatment Planning System," specifically version 15.1.1. It details the device's intended use and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Eclipse Treatment Planning System 13.7).

However, the provided text does not contain specific acceptance criteria, reported device performance metrics, or details about a study to prove these criteria. It outlines the changes from the predicate device and states that "Verification and Validation were performed for all the new features and regression testing was performed against the existing features of Eclipse." It concludes 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."

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for the following points as they are not present in the given text:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
  4. Adjudication method for the test set
  5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
  7. The type of ground truth used
  8. The sample size for the training set
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence by outlining technological changes and high-level verification and validation, rather than presenting a detailed study with specific performance metrics against acceptance criteria.

§ 892.5050 Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system.

(a)
Identification. A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II. When intended for use as a quality control system, the film dosimetry system (film scanning system) included as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
