The description focuses on mechanical movement and electrical signal conversion, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.
No.
The device is used to move detectors and transfer ionization beams, not to treat patients or address medical conditions directly.
No
The device is described as a system for positioning detectors and transferring proton beam signals into electrical signals for measurement. Its primary function is to facilitate dosimetric measurements, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a water tank, servo, control unit, electrometer, and ionization chamber. The performance studies also include tests for mechanics and firmware, indicating a significant hardware component.
Based on the provided text, the Blue Phantom PT is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to move detectors within a water tank to measure ionization beams (proton beams) and convert them into electrical signals. This is a physical measurement of radiation, not a test performed on biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
- Device Description: The device consists of a water tank, servo, control unit, and electrometer, used with an ionization chamber. This setup is for measuring radiation dose in a phantom (water tank), not for analyzing biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or diagnosing diseases based on in vitro tests.
Therefore, the Blue Phantom PT is a device used for dosimetry in proton therapy, which is a type of medical physics measurement, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of Blue Phantom PT is to move detectors in one dimension within a water tank. It transfers indicated ionization beams (proton beams) at a certain position into electrical signals.
Non-intended use of Blue Phantom PT
The Blue Phantom PT is not meant for measurement orthogonal to the proton beam (inline and crossline measurements).

Device Description
The Blue Phantom PT system consists of a water tank with a one-dimensional servo including a common control unit (CCU PT) with integrated two-channel electrometer. An ionisation chamber (e.g. Stingray) is placed inside the Blue Phantom PT with a holder and is used as detector for measurements.
The Blue Phantom PT is intended to be used in the magnetic environment of a proton therapy treatment unit and its technology has been designed to meet those requirements.
On the horizontal Y-rail, detector holders for various detectors can be mounted on a sliding shoe. The detector can be positioned in the Y-direction for measuring horizontal beams.

2. Product Description
2.1. Blue Phantom PT
The Blue Phantom PT system consists of a water tank with a one-dimensional servo including a common control unit (CCU PT) with integrated two-channel electrometer. An ionisation chamber (e.g. Stingray) is placed inside the Blue Phantom PT with a holder and is used as detector for measurements.
The Blue Phantom PT is intended to be used in the magnetic environment of a proton therapy treatment unit and its technology has been designed to meet those requirements.
Figure 1 shows the Blue Phantom PT and the CCU. Figure 1: BluePhantom PT with CCU
Image /page/5/Picture/6 description: The image shows two medical devices, the Blue Phantom PT water phantom and the CCU PT. The Blue Phantom PT water phantom is a clear, rectangular container filled with water. It has a thin window on one side and handles on top. A Y-axis servo with a motor is attached to the top of the container, and a Stingray chamber is visible inside. The CCU PT is a white, rectangular box with the letters CCU on the front.
On the horizontal Y-rail, detector holders for various detectors can be mounted on a sliding shoe. The detector can be positioned in the Y-direction for measuring horizontal beams.
2.2. WP 1D
The WP1D phantom consists of a cubic tank and a one-dimensional moving mechanics to move the detector up and down along the Z-axis. The tank has a water inlet/outlet that is equipped with a quick coupler for easy connection of the water-filling tube. Three adjustable feet support the tank and provide horizontal leveling adjustment.

5. Conclusion
The operating principle of the BP PT and its predicate is identical and the performed tests proof that the differences between BP PT and WP 1D do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The indication for use statements are slightly different, since BP PT is used for proton beams, while WP 1D is used for ionizing radiation like photon and electron radiation, but excluding proton radiation. This difference in radiation type is compensated with an equally safe and effective new inductive sensor.
Despite, the intended use of BP PT is more limited than of WP 1D. The evaluation and performed tests provide reasonable assurance that the differences are not critical to the intended use of the device, and that they do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled.
