Intended Use
The Z-Robot™ Patient Positioning System is an electro-mechanical robotic arm for patient positioning in radiotherapy and medical imaging. It is designed for positioning a patient with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability.
Device Description
The Z-Robot™ Patient Positioning System (hereinafter referred to as Z-Robot™) is an electro-mechanical robotic arm with the motion capability in six degrees of freedom. These axes allow the couch to be precisely positioned translationally and rotationally within the specified movement limits. Therefore, Z-Robot™ could be used to accurately position patient in radiotherapy and medical imaging.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the electro-mechanical nature and precise positioning capabilities of the robotic arm, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The Z-Robot™ is described as a patient positioning system for radiotherapy and medical imaging, designed to accurately and repeatably position a patient. It is not directly involved in treating or diagnosing a disease, but rather assists in the therapeutic or diagnostic process by accurately positioning the patient.

No
The device is described as an "electro-mechanical robotic arm for patient positioning" and focuses on "accurately position patient in radiotherapy and medical imaging." There is no indication that it analyzes or interprets patient data for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device is described as an "electro-mechanical robotic arm" and the description details its physical motion capabilities and axes, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software for control.

Based on the provided information, the Z-Robot™ Patient Positioning System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "patient positioning in radiotherapy and medical imaging." This involves physically manipulating the patient's position, not analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro tests.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the electro-mechanical nature of the robotic arm and its ability to move and position a patient. There is no mention of analyzing samples or performing any kind of diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests

The Z-Robot™ is clearly a device used in conjunction with medical imaging and radiotherapy procedures, but it does not perform the diagnostic or therapeutic function itself. Its role is to facilitate these procedures by accurately positioning the patient.

Dear Mr. Chen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR
