LIAC S is mobile electron linear accelerator for intra-operative radiotherapy (IORT). Known as intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT), this technique allows delivery of high doses of radiation directly aimed at tumours or other sites. The LIAC S is meant to be used for radiotherapy in the operating theatre on a patient to which the surgeon has just removed a neoplasm. The device must be sold by or on the order of a physician. The device is not for use by the general public or over-the-counter. LIAC S is an electron accelerator that can work in an operating theatre respecting its specific characteristics in terms of cleaning possibility, noise and heat dissipation; in particular, they do not require to move the patient.
LIAC S is an electron linear Accelerator used to perform radiation therapy during surgical procedures in an operating room on a patient from whom the Surgeon has just removed a tumor. This technique is known as Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) and it is used for the treatment of malignant and benign conditions. IORT allows delivering of high doses of radiation directly to turnour site, while normal tissues are protected against dosage impact. The available version of LIAC S is the 12 MeV one, with selectable energies of 6, 8, 10, 12 MeV and with electrical power requirement of 230 V, 50 Hz and 3kVA. LIAC S model employs the same technology as its predicate, LIAC HWL, with the following differences: 1. The Control Unit frame; 2. The total length of the applicator; 3. The design of the remote controller. All the differences have no impact on the product performances. The Equipment, LIAC S, is a system for Intraoperative Radiotherapy comprised of two main parts, Control and Mobile Unit, and the applicators. The main parts, connected by a ten meters-long cable which transfers the signals and the power are: 1) MOBILE UNIT (STAND). The Mobile Unit is a mobile component which emits the radiation. It is placed in the operating room near the patient with a remote-control device; 2) CONTROL UNIT. The Control Unit is a mobile component too. It is connected to the mobile unit through a group of cables. It is the part of the device that controls the equipment. Both the above listed components, the mobile unit (1) and the control unit (2), are joined by a cable of about 10 meters, to allow positioning the mobile unit in the operating theatre close to the patient, while the console control unit remains outside of the operating theatre allowing the operator to control the radiation. The equipment can perform its action only if the Mobile Unit and the Control Unit are connected adequately and the applicator is installed.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the LIAC S device, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state formal "acceptance criteria" in the sense of specific thresholds for clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for a new algorithm. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (LIAC HWL) through technical and performance comparisons.
The "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met if the LIAC S device's performance parameters are comparable or superior to those of the predicate device, or if any differences are deemed not to impact safety and effectiveness.
Here's a table summarizing the comparison, which serves as the basis for demonstrating equivalence:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The provided document describes a device comparison/equivalence study rather than a study on an AI/algorithm's performance. Therefore, there is no specific "test set" in the context of clinical data for an algorithm. The evaluation relies on comparing the technical specifications and performance characteristics of the LIAC S device against its predicate device (LIAC HWL).
The "data provenance" mentioned is the technical specifications and performance measurements derived from the LIAC S device during its product development and verification, and similar data for the predicate device. These are likely from internal testing and engineering assessments rather than clinical trials with patient data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not applicable as there is no clinical "ground truth" derived from expert review in this type of submission. The ground truth for device performance is based on physical measurements and engineering standards.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This is not applicable for the same reasons as #3.
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
An MRMC study is not applicable because the LIAC S is a medical radiation therapy device, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool that relies on human readers interpreting output.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable as the LIAC S is a physical medical device, not a standalone algorithm. Its function is to deliver radiation therapy directly.
7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" here refers to engineering specifications, physical measurements, and conformity to recognized technical standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, ISO 14971). The evaluation confirms that the LIAC S device meets these established performance benchmarks and standards for safety and effectiveness, and that its differences from the predicate are not significant enough to raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable as the submission describes a physical medical device, not an AI model that requires a training set of data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable for the same reasons as #8.
In summary: This 510(k) submission for the LIAC S device focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device (LIAC HWL) through a detailed comparison of technical specifications, intended use, and performance parameters. The "study" here is essentially a technical validation and verification process, with "acceptance criteria" met by showing that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate, despite some minor design and numerical differences which were deemed not to impact overall safety or effectiveness. It does not involve AI, clinical efficacy trials, or expert-based ground truth establishment in the way typically seen for diagnostic algorithms.

| Applicant | Device name | 510(k) Number |
|---|---|---|
| SIT SORDINA IORTTECHNOLOGIES SPA. | LIAC HWL | K172961 |
LIAC S and its predicate device LIAC HWL (K172961) are both electron linear accelerators used for radiation therapy during surgical procedures in an operating room and they are both Class II devices.
{5}------------------------------------------------
LIAC S and the predicate LIAC HWL, at the same time, are both regulated under the regulation number 892.5050 and product code IYE.
LIAC S has the same intended use of the predicate device LIAC HWL (K172961). Both devices are electron accelerators that produce beams of electrons used in the radiation therapy treatment of both malignant and benign conditions.
The identified intended use is the radiation therapy treatment of both malignant and benign conditions, during surgical procedures. This technique is also known as "Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT)" and it allows delivery of high doses of radiation directly to tumours or other sites while protecting surgically mobilized normal tissues against dosage impact.
LIAC S and its predicate LIAC HWL are equivalent devices. The only design differences between LIAC S and LIAC HWL are:
-
- Radiation performance parameters
- a) Dose Rate
- b) The surface dose
- c) Stray X-radiation
- d) Surface Surface Distance (SSD)
- e) Uniformity or Field Flatness
-
- Mobile and Control Unit mechanical design
-
- Components Applicator
- a) Applicator length
The differences listed above resulted not relevant for the device safety and effectiveness because, as stated into the comparison discussion, they are substantially equivalent to the predicate device LIAC HWL.
All the characteristics and/or performances have been validated with the same methods (i.e. standard compliance) used for the predicate device.
Thus, LIAC S is substantially equivalent to the predicate device LIAC HWL (K172961).
