Intended Use
VitalBeam is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation therapy is indicated for adults and pediatric patients. VitalBeam may be used in the delivery of radiation for treatment that includes: brain and spine tumors (such as glioma, meningioma, craniopharyngioma, pituitary tumors, spinal cord tumors, hemangioblastoma, orbital tumors, optic nerve tumors, and skull based tumors), head and neck tumors (such as unknown primary of the head and neck, oral cavity, hypopharynx, larynx, oropharynx, sinonasal, salivary gland, and thyroid cancer), thoracic tumors (such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymic tumors, and mesothelioma), gynecologic tumors (such as ovarian, cervical, endometrial, vulvar, and vaginal), gastrointestinal tumors (such as gastric, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, colon, rectal, and anal carcinoma), genitourinary tumors (such as prostate, bladder, testicular, and kidney), breast tumors, sarcomas, lymphoid tumors (such as Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), skin cancers (such as squamous cell, basal cell, and melanoma), benign diseases (such as schwannoma, arteriovenous malformation, trigeminal neuralgia, chordoma, glomus tumors, and hemangiomas), metastasis (including all parts of the body such as brain, bone, liver, lung, kidney, and skin) and pediatric tumors (such as glioma, ependymoma, pituitary tumors, hemangioblastoma, craniopharyngioma, metastasis, medulloblastoma, nasopharyngeal tumors, arteriovenous malformation, cavernous malformation and skull base tumors).
Device Description
VitalBeam is a medical linear accelerator. The system consists of two major components, a photon, electron, and diagnostic kV X-ray radiation beam-producing component that is installed in a radiation-shielded vault and a control console area located outside the treatment room.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a linear accelerator for radiation therapy and mentions standard hardware and software verification and validation testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is described as providing "stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation therapy is indicated," which directly equates to treatment or therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a medical linear accelerator for delivering radiation therapy, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one. While it uses "diagnostic kV X-ray" and CBCT for imaging, these are used for guiding the treatment, not for diagnosing diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states that VitalBeam is a "medical linear accelerator" and consists of "two major components, a photon, electron, and diagnostic kV X-ray radiation beam-producing component" and a "control console area". This indicates the device includes significant hardware components for generating and controlling radiation, which is not characteristic of a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that VitalBeam is for providing radiation therapy for treating lesions, tumors, and conditions. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a medical linear accelerator, which is a machine used to deliver radiation for treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a disease or condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. VitalBeam's function is to deliver radiation to the body for treatment.

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

Hardware and software verification and validation bench testing was conducted according to the FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820). ISO 13485 QMS standard, ISO 14971 Risk Management Standard and the other FDA recognized consensus standards listed below including electrical safety and EMC. Test results showed passing criteria was met for conformance to applicable requirements specifications and assured hazard safeguards functioned properly.

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and recorded as recommended by FDA's "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "major" level of concern. A failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator.

There was no change to the patient-contact materials biocompatibility in this medical device. Therefore, no change occurred in conformance to ANSI/AAMI/ ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1"
