Intended Use

The MRIdian Linac system, with magnetic resonance imaging capabilities, is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere radiation treatment is indicated.

Device Description

The MRIdian Linac system (K162393; K170751) delivers ionizing radiation using a magnetic resonance imaging system (MRIS) unit for image guidance. This submission describes an optional change only to the treatment planning and delivery imaging workflows of the predicate MRIdian Linac system. ViewRay developed the following additional imaging modalities for use during MRIdian Linac system treatment planning and delivery workflows: 1. Introduction of a Treatment Delivery Computer Unit (TDCU) to increase treatment imaging reconstruction and display speed in excess of eight frames per second along with improved cine image resolution used for target tracking. 2. The predicate MRIdian Linac system supports the import of MR images obtained from a separate imaging system for use in treatment planning. In addition to importing additional MR images, the proposed MRIdian Linac system is also able to generate the following additional MR sequences for use during planning, positioning, and treatment delivery workflows: a. Turbo Spin Echo (TSE) pulse sequence family including Half Fourier Acquisition Single Shot Turbo Spin Echo (HASTE) and Diffusion Prepared Turbo Spin Echo (DP-TSE) which enables the following contrast protocols: i. T1-weighted (spin-lattice; magnetization in the same direction as the static magnetic field); ii. T2-weighted (spin-spin; magnetization transverse to the static magnetic field); and iii. Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) with ability to generate Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) maps to overlay and register to other images. b. True Fast Imaging (TRUFI) pulse sequence with radial sampling enabling higher speed imaging during treatment delivery. The currently marketed MRIdian Linac system integrates radiation therapy with simultaneous magnetic resonance imaging of soft tissues to provide optimal alignment, adaptation, and tracking. These proposed changes to the existing system described in this section aim to improve MR imaging speed and quality and provide additional image contrast modalities.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes modifications to an existing MRIdian Linac System (K162393; K170751) and seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device. However, it does not contain explicit acceptance criteria or a detailed study proving the device meets those criteria in the typical sense of a clinical performance study with human readers and ground truth for diagnostic accuracy.

Instead, the document focuses on technical equivalence and verification testing to ensure the new imaging modalities and hardware/software changes do not negatively impact the system's performance and meet safety and quality standards, making it substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate device.

Here's an analysis based on the information provided, highlighting what is present and what is absent:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document provides a "Predicate Device Comparison Chart" (Table 6-1 on page 8) which compares various technical attributes of the cleared device with the device with changes. While these are not framed as "acceptance criteria" in the sense of a clinical performance study (e.g., sensitivity, specificity), they represent the technical performance metrics that were likely considered in verifying equivalence.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document primarily describes design verification testing and conformance to standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-33, IEC 62304). This implies testing was performed on:

  • The hardware and software components of the MRIdian Linac System with the proposed changes.
  • The testing would involve engineering tests, phantom studies, and possibly data from internal development/testing, rather than a "test set" of patient data in the context of diagnostic performance.
  • No information is provided on a "test set" of patient data, its sample size, or provenance. This is because the submission focuses on asserting technical equivalence and safety rather than a new clinical claim requiring a performance study on patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable/Not provided. Since this is a technical verification of an upgraded system rather than a new diagnostic algorithm, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth" for patient cases, as in an AI-driven image interpretation study, does not apply. The verification would involve engineers validating system specifications and output against known physical or simulated inputs.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable/Not provided. Adjudication methods are relevant for studies where multiple human readers are evaluating cases and their interpretations need to be reconciled to establish a consensus ground truth. This type of study was not 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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned or performed. This submission is not about evaluating a new AI assistant for human readers. It's about modifying an existing medical device's technical specifications and demonstrating that these modifications do not compromise safety or essential performance and maintain substantial equivalence to the predicate.

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

The document does not describe the evaluation of a standalone algorithm for diagnostic or therapeutic tasks. The MRIdian Linac System is an integrated system where imaging capabilities are part of the therapy delivery workflow, not a separate diagnostic algorithm. The changes enhance the imaging capabilities within this system.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not explicitly described in terms of clinical ground truth. The "ground truth" for the verification testing would be the engineering specifications, performance standards (e.g., frame rate, resolution, field homogeneity), and safety requirements that the device's enhanced features were tested against. For example, a physics phantom might be used to verify image resolution or geometric accuracy.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable/Not provided. This submission does not describe the development or training of a new AI algorithm that would require a "training set" of data.

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

Not applicable/Not provided. As there is no described training set for an AI algorithm, this information is not relevant to the document.

In summary:

This 510(k) submission (K181989) is primarily a technical modification submission for an existing medical device. Its purpose is to demonstrate that changes made to the MRIdian Linac System (specifically, enhanced imaging modalities, increased image reconstruction speed, and a condensed equipment footprint) maintain substantial equivalence to the predicate device (K162393; K170751) and comply with relevant safety and performance standards. The "acceptance criteria" are largely implied by the need to meet or exceed the predicate's technical specifications and adhere to recognized international standards for medical electrical equipment. No clinical performance study involving patient data, human readers, or AI algorithm evaluation is described.

Description of the Device 4.

The MRIdian Linac system (K162393; K170751) delivers ionizing radiation using a magnetic resonance imaging system (MRIS) unit for image guidance. This submission describes an optional change only to the treatment planning and delivery imaging workflows of the predicate MRIdian Linac system.

ViewRay developed the following additional imaging modalities for use during MRIdian Linac system treatment planning and delivery workflows:

    1. Introduction of a Treatment Delivery Computer Unit (TDCU) to increase treatment imaging reconstruction and display speed in excess of eight frames per second along with improved cine image resolution used for target tracking.
    1. The predicate MRIdian Linac system supports the import of MR images obtained from a separate imaging system for use in treatment planning. In addition to importing additional MR images, the proposed MRIdian Linac system is also able to generate the following additional MR sequences for use during planning, positioning, and treatment delivery workflows:
    • a. Turbo Spin Echo (TSE) pulse sequence family including Half Fourier Acquisition Single Shot Turbo Spin Echo (HASTE) and Diffusion Prepared Turbo Spin Echo (DP-TSE) which enables the following contrast protocols:
      • i. T1-weighted (spin-lattice; magnetization in the same direction as the static magnetic field);
      • ii. T2-weighted (spin-spin; magnetization transverse to the static magnetic field); and
      • iii. Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) with ability to generate Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) maps to overlay and register to other images.
    • b. True Fast Imaging (TRUFI) pulse sequence with radial sampling enabling higher speed imaging during treatment delivery.

The currently marketed MRIdian Linac system integrates radiation therapy with simultaneous magnetic resonance imaging of soft tissues to provide optimal alignment, adaptation, and tracking. These proposed changes to the existing system described in this section aim to improve MR imaging speed and quality and provide additional image contrast modalities.

Intended Use Statement 5.

The MRIdian Linac system, with magnetic resonance imaging capabilities, is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.

Indication for Use Statement 6.

The MRIdian Linac system, with magnetic resonance imaging capabilities, is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.

Substantial Equivalence 7.

ViewRay has demonstrated that the proposed MRIdian Linac system performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate system (K162393; K170751).

Technological Characteristics 8.

The cleared MRIdian Linac system (K162393; K170751) is an Image-Guided Radiation Therapy System (IGRT) that uses a 6 MV linear accelerator radiotherapy system to deliver ionizing radiation while using a magnetic resonance imaging system (MRIS) unit for image guidance in real-time. The MRIdian Linac system has equivalent functionality when employing the proposed imaging modalities described in this submission.

Like the current MRIdian Linac system (K162393; K170751) the proposed system consists of three primary subsystems:

    1. The Treatment Planning and Delivery System (TPDS, initially cleared under K102915) modified only to support the new user interface changes during use of the new MR sequences during treatment planning and delivery workflows and support treatment image reconstruction on updated Treatment Delivery Computer Unit (TDCU) computer hardware as a replacement for the 'Services' computer in the predicate device;
    1. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging System (MRIS) which has been updated to include additional imaging pulse sequences; and
    1. The Radiation Therapy Delivery System (RDS) modified only to condense the equipment room footprint by combining the pulse modulator, power distribution unit, and the linac control cabinet into one pulse modulator cabinet and to support the software interfaces changes described in this submission.

In both systems these three subsystems are designed to operate concurrently for accurate targeted administration of radiation therapy.

The MRIdian Linac system with the changes proposed in this section is otherwise unchanged and functions as designed in the original predicate system so that the imaging and radiotherapy fields of view coincide permitting imaging of the patient at the radiotherapy isocenter before and during treatment.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the ViewRay logo. The logo consists of a green sphere with white lines on the left and the text "VIE WRAY" on the right. Below the text is a horizontal line and the text "Visibly Different".

The Treatment Planning and Delivery System (TPDS initial clearance K102915)

The Treatment Planning and Delivery System software (TPDS) is capable of assisting the clinician in creating treatment delivery and QA plans for the MRIdian Linac system. The TPDS includes clinician tasks for reviewing, prescribing, tracking, and correcting the course of patient treatment. The software system has two major roles: radiotherapy treatment planning, and radiotherapy treatment delivery.

ViewRay modified the TPDS user interface to support treatment planning and delivery workflows when using the new MR sequences and support treatment image reconstruction on updated the Treatment Delivery Computer Unit (TDCU) computer hardware. The TDCU replaces the Services computer used by the predicate MRIdian Linac system in order to gain efficiencies when reconstructing MR images. There have been no changes to the Monte Carlo dose calculation alqorithm. TPDS is otherwise unchanged from the predicate device (K162393; K170751) other than changes described in Section 12.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging System (MRIS)

The Maqnetic Resonance Imaging System (MRIS) unit incorporates an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of the Siemens MAGNETOM Avanto system combined with a 0.35T superconducting magnet, gradient coil, and radio frequency (RF) coil system, redesigned to be compatible with radiation therapy delivery. The MRIS system hardware remains unchanged from the current MRIdian Linac system (K162393; K170751).

The MRIS subsystem software has been updated to include additional imaging sequences described in Section 12. The MRIS software is otherwise unchanged from the predicate device (K162393; K170751).

Below the word "VIEWRAY" is a thin gray line, and below that is the phrase "Visibly Different" in a smaller, lighter font. The logo is clean and modern, and the colors are eye-catching.

The Radiation Therapy Delivery System (RDS)

The Radiation Therapy Delivery System (RDS) of both the predicate MRIdian Linac system (K162393; K170751) and the proposed system described in this Section consist of a linear accelerator unit mounted on a ring gantry. By design, the radiation isocenter is in the middle of the imaqing field of view, permitting imaging at the radiotherapy isocenter before and during therapy. The RDS of both systems include:

  • Linear Accelerator;
  • . Gantry and Base Subsystem;
  • 138-leaf Multi-leaf Collimator (MLC) (K170751); •
  • Patient Handling System;
  • Rotating Shim Gantry;
  • Radiation Therapy Control System (RTCS) and Console;
  • Magnetic and RF shielding sleeve technologies;
  • Linac Control Cabinet; and
  • . RF components required for linac functionality.

Equipment Room Update

ViewRay developed a revised design of the Pulse Modulator to reduce the physical footprint within the system equipment room by combining the pulse modulator, the Power Distribution Unit (PDU), and Linac Control Cabinet (LCC) into one cabinet. This change does not alter the performance of the system. Refer to Section 12 for details of this change.

The RDS is otherwise unchanged from the predicate device (K162393; K170751) except for modifications necessary to support software changes associated with the new options described in this section.

The proposed MRIdian Linac system functions in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device when employing the new MR imaging modalities described in this submission. Table 6-1 presents a comparison of specifications for the predicate and proposed MRIdian Linac systems.

Summary of Performance Testing 9.

Design Verification testing was performed according to the FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820), ISO 13485 Quality Management System standard, ISO 14971 Risk Management Standard and the other FDA recognized consensus standards presented below.

The imaging capabilities of the proposed MRIdian Linac system showed substantial equivalence to the predicate system (K162393; K170751). Testing executed on the system verified conformance to design requirements and ensured all identified risks and hazards were mitigated, and demonstrated conformance to relevant safety standards. The MRIdian Linac system described in this premarket notification passed all verification testing, and the system conformed to all applicable sections of the standards presented below.

Software verification testing was conducted as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The MRIdian Linac software is considered as a "major" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testinq were conducted on the MRIdian Linac system which verified the system complies with the IEC 60601-1-2 EMC standard and continues to meet IEC 60601-1 safety standards.
