Intended Use

The BeamSite™ System is intended to be used only with photon external beam radiotherapy during treatment to acquire and visualize the shape of the treatment radiation beam relative to surface anatomical landmarks on the patient, anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. BeamSite is used by radiotherapy professionals in appropriate hospital and freestanding radiation therapy environments.

Device Description

BeamSite™ is a system that enables real-time visualization of the treatment beam on a patient during radiotherapy. It is an optically based system that is non-patient contacting and produces no radiation. BeamSite captures images of Cherenkov light emitted from the patient's skin during radiotherapy to provide an optical map of the beam on the patient. The BeamSite system consists of a camera, workstation with pre-installed BeamSite software and a monitor to be used by clinical radiotherapy teams to visually observe the treatment, as it happens, and review after the treatment, if necessary.

The BeamSite system is designed to be used as a fixed mounted camera having a field of view of the treatment area, to routinely image patient treatments with minimal impact to the clinical workflow. The video images produced are intended to provide additional information about the treatment for the clinical team by displaying the beam size and shape on the patient during treatment. The images produced will provide real-time, direct visual indication that the beam is on, that it is impacting the patient at the intended treatment surface, provides visual feedback regarding the patient's movement relative to the beam, and that surfaces of the body not intended for treatment remain outside the beam path. BeamSite is to be used as a visualization tool. Therapeutic decisions should not be made solely based on the images acquired from this device. However, the images will provide a simple and intuitive means to visually monitor radiation therapy on a routine basis.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the DoseOptics BeamSite™ System. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria for a new clinical claim or an AI algorithm's diagnostic performance. Therefore, many of the requested details regarding acceptance criteria, ground truth, expert adjudication, and MRMC studies, which are typical for AI/ML-based diagnostic devices, are not explicitly present in this document.

The BeamSite™ System is described as an optical visualization tool for radiotherapy, showing the beam shape relative to surface anatomical landmarks. It is not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device in the sense that it provides a specific diagnosis, classification, or modifies treatment decisions based on an AI's output. Its primary function is to provide visual feedback to human operators.

Here's an attempt to answer the questions based only on the provided text, highlighting what is present and what is missing:


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not present a table of specific performance acceptance criteria for the visualization capabilities of the BeamSite System, nor does it quantify its diagnostic performance. The performance testing summarized primarily relates to functional verification, safety (electrical, EMC), software V&V, and usability, which are general engineering and regulatory compliance tests rather than benchmarks for clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy for a diagnostic task).

The "Performance Testing Summary (Non-Clinical)" section lists the types of tests conducted:

Test TypeDescription/Reported Performance
BeamSite functional verification testing(system, software and firmware) - Implied successful completion, but no specific metrics or acceptance criteria are provided.
Accelerated age testing(to support expected service life claim for the BeamSite Camera) - Implied successful completion, but no specific metrics or acceptance criteria are provided.
Electrical Safety Evaluationas per IEC 60601-1:2005 / (R) 2012 and A1: 2012 - Implied compliance.
Electromagnetic Compatibility testingas per IEC 60601-1-2: 2014 - Implied compliance.
Software Verification and Validationas per IEC 62304:2006 / A1: 2016 - Implied compliance.
Usability Testingas per IEC 60601-1-6 Edition 3.1 2013-10 and IEC 62366-1: 2015 - Implied compliance.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not provided in the document. The performance testing described is "non-clinical," implying it was not a patient-based clinical trial. If any data was used for functional verification or usability testing, the sample size and provenance are not specified. Given the device's function as a real-time visualization tool and its substantial equivalence argument, a large test set of patient images with verified ground truth (as would be needed for an AI diagnostic device) is not described here.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not provided. As "ground truth" for diagnostic performance is not within the scope of this non-clinical testing summary, no experts are mentioned for this purpose.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not provided and is not applicable given the nature of the tests described.

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

No MRMC study was conducted or reported. This device is not an AI-assistive diagnostic tool that would typically undergo such a study. It provides raw visual information, and its purpose is not to improve human reader performance on a diagnostic task, but rather to give immediate feedback on beam delivery.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This is not explicitly stated or implied. The device is a "system consisting of a camera, workstation with pre-installed BeamSite software and a monitor to be used by clinical radiotherapy teams to visually observe the treatment." It is inherently a human-in-the-loop device, and standalone algorithm performance, separate from human interpretation, is not a relevant measure for its function.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

As no clinical performance claims (e.g., diagnostic accuracy) are being made based on this device's output, the concept of "ground truth" for clinical images (like expert consensus or pathology) is not applicable or mentioned in this summary. The device visualizes Cherenkov light, which itself is a direct physical phenomenon related to the beam.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not provided. The document does not describe the use of machine learning or deep learning that would typically involve a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not provided and is not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set or machine learning.

5.5. INDICATIONS FOR USE / INTENDED USE

The BeamSite System is intended to be used only with photon external beam radiotherapy during treatment to acquire and visualize the shape of the treatment radiation beam relative to surface anatomical landmarks on the patient, anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. BeamSite is used by radiotherapy professionals therapy in appropriate hospital and freestanding radiation environments.

5.6. COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE

The Predicate Device for the BeamSite System is PortalVision Advanced Imaging Device, K091209, manufactured by Varian Medical Systems.

The PortalVision Advanced Imaging Device is indicated to acquire images of anatomical landmarks, fiducial markers, the shape of the treatment beam and dosimetric signals to guide the delivery of radiation anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.

Whereas, the BeamSite System is indicated for a subset of this indication, namely, it is intended to be used during treatment to acquire and visualize the shape of the treatment radiation beam relative to

{5}------------------------------------------------

surface anatomical landmarks on the patient, anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.

Both devices require the ionizing radiation beam to be exposing the patient at the time they acquire their images.

The BeamSite System is not a substitute for the predicate but provides additional information to the user when compared to the PortalVision Advanced Imaging Device in that it presents a visual image of the actual shape of the irradiation field on the patient in relation to a visual image of the patient anatomical surface in and around the irradiation field.

Both devices require image analysis and presentation software to display images on a monitor to the user for further human analysis and decision making.

Although PortalVision Advanced Imaging Device and the BeamSite System acquire their images using different technologies, both are accessories to a medical linear accelerator, both require an active ionizing radiation beam and both do acquire and visualize the shape of the treatment radiation beam relative to surface anatomical landmarks on the patient, anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.

For both devices, the patient receives their radiation therapy whether or not either device is in use. Neither device interacts directly with the patient, but both utilize information present in the treatment beam. Since the BeamSite System is not a substitute for the PortalVision Advanced Imaging Device, but provides new visual information to the user, the technological differences do not raise new or different concerns of safety and effectiveness.
