Intended Use

Elekta Unity using Magnetic Resonance Imaging is indicated for radiation therapy treatments and stereotactic radiation treatments of malignant and benign diseases anywhere in the body as determined by a licensed medical practitioner in accordance with a defined treatment plan. Elekta Unity is intended for use with the compatible Treatment Planning and Oncology Information Systems.

The Elekta Unity 1.5T MR scanner is a magnetic resonance imaging system that produces cross-sectional images in any orientation of the internal structure of the whole body before, during, and after the radiotherapy treatment. When interpreted by a trained physician magnetic resonance images acquired before, during, and after the radiotherapy treatment yield information that can be useful in diagnosis and may assist therapy planning, patient positioning and treatment delivery related to radiation oncology.

Device Description

Elekta Unity is a multifunctional digital linear accelerator designed to assist licensed medical practitioners in the delivery of ionizing radiation to defined volumes (e.g. malignant and benign tumors). Elekta Unity is capable of both intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT).

The Elekta Unity 1.5T MRI scanner is a magnetic resonance imaging sub-system that produces cross-sectional images in any orientation of the internal structure of the whole body before, during, and after the radiotherapy treatment.

When interpreted by a trained physician the images acquired before, during, and after the radiotherapy treatment yield information that can be useful in diagnosis and may assist therapy planning, patient positioning and treatment delivery related to radiation oncology.

In addition to the MRI sequences cleared with the predicate device, the current Elekta Unity configuration has the ability to generate images using following techniques, before, during or after treatment for Off-line review:

  • Single-shot EPI diffusion imaging (DWI) with 3 diffusion directions and up to 16 b-values.
  • . Diffusion imaging processing with automatic generation of the ADC and/or eADC maps.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • The document does not specify a numerical sample size for the "test set" used in the image validation study. It only mentions "anonymized images" from Elekta Unity.
  • Data Provenance: The images were "obtained on Elekta Unity," implying they were internally generated or acquired from the device itself. Given the context of a 510(k) summary, it's highly likely these were retrospective images produced during internal testing or early clinical use for device characterization, rather than a prospective, formal diagnostic study with patient consent for external use. The country of origin is not specified, but the submission is from Elekta Limited in the UK.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Number of Experts: More than one expert, specified as "US Board Certificated Diagnostic Radiologists." The exact number is not provided, but it implies a panel.
  • Qualifications of Experts: "US Board Certificated Diagnostic Radiologists." No specific experience level (e.g., 10 years) is given.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The adjudication method was consensus. The document states, "There was consensus among the expert reviewers that imaging with Elekta Unity met the clinical criteria for diagnostic MRI."

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly stated or described. The study focused on the standalone performance and image quality of the Elekta Unity's MR imaging capabilities. It did not compare human readers with and without AI assistance; rather, it evaluated the diagnostic quality of the images generated by the device itself.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done

  • Yes, a standalone performance evaluation of the imaging component was done. The image validation study assessed the quality of images produced by the Elekta Unity's MR scanner, interpreted by radiologists without any indication of AI assistance in the interpretation loop for the purpose of validating the device's inherent imaging capabilities. The main purpose of this 510(k) is the device itself (hardware and core software), not an AI diagnostic algorithm. The new features for diffusion imaging (DWI and ADC/eADC maps) are outputs of the device's imaging capabilities, which are then evaluated for their standalone image quality.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Expert Consensus. For the image validation, the ground truth was established by the "consensus among the expert reviewers that imaging with Elekta Unity met the clinical criteria for diagnostic MRI." For the device's overall safety and performance, the ground truth was established through conformance with recognized consensus standards and internal design and risk management requirements.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not provide any information regarding a training set size. This submission is for the Elekta Unity hardware and its associated imaging capabilities, not primarily an AI/ML algorithm that would typically have a separate training set. The mention of "Diffusion imaging processing with automatic generation of the ADC and/or eADC maps" implies some algorithmic processing, but no details on training data for this specific processing are given.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • As no training set is mentioned for the direct evaluation described, no information is provided on how its ground truth would have been established.

Substantial Equivalence:

Elekta Unity is substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate device, Elekta Unity (K182076), in intended use and indications for use, principles of operation, technological characteristics and labeling. The differences in imaging functionality between the two devices do not affect the fundamental scientific technology. The device safety and performance have been addressed by non-clinical testing in conformance with predetermined performance criteria, FDA guidance, and recognised consensus standards.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:

Elekta Unity is designed specifically to facilitate IGRT. Both, current and predicate device configurations use the same medical linear accelerator (linac) to deliver photon energies and dose rates for targeted external beam radiation therapy using established magnetic resonance imaging technology for image guidance. Both devices rely on the same split magnet design to create an area of reduced X-ray attenuation for the treatment beam. Both devices use the same specifically designed software systems for treatment planning and delivery.

Summary of performance testing (non-clinical):

Design verification and performance testing were carried out in accordance with design controls of FDA's Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820.30), applicable ISO 13485 Quality Management System requirements, ISO 14971 risk management requirements, IEC 62304 requirements for software life-cycle processes, and FDA guidance for the "Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices," November 2016. Non-clinical testing was performed to evaluate device performance and functionality against design and risk management requirements at sub-system, integration and system levels. Software verification testing was conducted and documented in accordance with FDA's "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, " May 2005, for devices that pose a major level of concern (Class C per IEC 62304). Basic safety and essential performance have been satisfied through conformance with device-specific recognised consensus standards, as well as the general and collateral safety and essential performance standards for medical devices listed below.

There was consensus among the expert reviewers that imaging with Elekta Unity met the clinical criteria for diagnostic MRI.

The results from verification and validation testing demonstrate device conformance to stated design specifications and recognized consensus safety and performance standards.

Conclusion

The results of verification and validation and safety standards testing demonstrate that Elekta Unity fulfills the established safety and performance criteria and it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
