The summary describes a proton beam irradiation system and its components, focusing on mechanical, beam, and safety performance. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is designed to "produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation," indicating its use in therapy.
No
The device is designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for cancer treatment, acting as a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one. While it includes imaging modalities for treatment planning, its primary function is not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines numerous hardware components including an accelerator system, beam transport system, gantry, patient positioning system, and imaging systems (X-ray, CT). While software is undoubtedly involved in controlling these components, the device is fundamentally a complex hardware system for delivering radiation therapy.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation." This describes a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a proton beam irradiation system designed to deliver radiation for treatment. It focuses on the physical delivery of a therapeutic beam.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing. While it uses imaging (X-ray, CT) for patient positioning and treatment planning, these are used in the context of delivering therapy, not for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a therapeutic device that delivers radiation directly to the patient.

Device Description
The PROBEAT-CR is a proton beam irradiation system, which provides a therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment. It is designed to deliver a proton beam with the prescribed dose, dose distribution and directed to the prescribed patient treatment site. The PROBEAT-CR is a modification to the cleared PROBEAT-V system, for installation at a different clinical site.
The PROBEAT-CR has two main subsystems: (1) equipment necessary to generate the proton beam and direct it to the beam delivery system for patient treatment, and (2) a beam delivery system whose primary responsibility is to ensure that the desired prescription parameters are properly delivered. The PROBEAT-CR comprises the following components and subsystems:
- Beam production system
- Accelerator system (LINAC, Synchrotron).
- Beam transport system (Low/High Energy Beam Transport systems).
- Beam delivery system in 4 separate treatment rooms. Each of 3 rooms will have a rotating gantry and 1 room will have a fixed beam.

Dear Mr. Kahan:
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.

Performance Data
The company performed testing, as follows:
- The mechanical performance of the rotating gantry and patient couch o
- Beam performance testing to evaluate beam dose shape and beam dose ●
- Safety interface testing to evaluate beam stop control, dose monitor, area safety, and 0 mechanical interlocks.
Further, electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing was also performed in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.
In all instances, the PROBEAT-CR functioned as intended and met its specifications. Testing demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicates.
Conclusions
The PROBEAT-CR has the same intended use and indications for use, as well as substantially similar principles of operation and technological characteristics, as compared to Hitachi's cleared PROBEAT-V (K151132, K152592). Each of the systems comprises the same components of the beam production and beam delivery subsystems. The minor differences between the PROBEAT-CR that is the subject of this submission and the cleared PROBEAT-V do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the PROBEAT-CR is as safe and effective as the cleared PROBEAT-V systems Thus, the PROBEAT-CR is substantially equivalent to its predicates.
