No
The description focuses on rule-based logic ("define check state logic") and data monitoring/uploading, with no mention of AI/ML terms or concepts.
No.
The device is intended for the quality assessment of radiotherapy treatment plans and on-treatment chart reviews, which is a quality control and assessment function, not a direct therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is intended for quality assessment of radiotherapy treatment plans and chart review, helping personnel to review treatment records and check state calculation results. It does not diagnose medical conditions.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that ChartCheck is "software that enables trained radiation oncology personnel to perform quality assessments". It details software components (agent service, cloud service, web application) and their functions, without mentioning any associated hardware that is part of the device itself. While it interacts with data from a database (ARIA), the device being submitted for 510(k) is the software.
Based on the provided information, the ChartCheck device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- ChartCheck's Function: ChartCheck's intended use is for the quality assessment of radiotherapy treatment plans and on-treatment chart review. It processes data from a radiation therapy management database (ARIA), which includes treatment records, documentation, and imaging data. It does not analyze biological specimens from the patient.
- Data Source: The data ChartCheck uses comes from the ARIA database, which is related to the treatment process and patient records, not from in vitro analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, ChartCheck falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. It is a software device used for quality control and review within the radiotherapy workflow.

Device Description
The ChartCheck device is software that enables trained radiation oncology personnel to perform quality assessments of treatment plans and treatment chart review utilizing plan, treatment, imaging, and documentation data obtained from the ARIA Radiation Therapy Management database.
ChartCheck contains 3 main components:
-
- An agent service that is configured by the user to monitor their ARIA Radiation Therapy Management database. The agent watches for new treatment plans, treatment records, documentation, and imaging data. The agent uploads new data to the cloud based checking service.
-
- A cloud based checking service calculates check states as new records are uploaded from the agent.
-
- A web application accessed via a web browser which contains several components.
- a. It allows trained radiation oncology personnel to review treatment records, view the check state calculation results, record comments,, and mark the chart checks as approved.
- b. It allows an administrator to set check state colors, configure default settings, and define check state logic.

Dear Mr. Sysock:
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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS)

5.5. Indications for Use
The ChartCheck device is intended for the quality assessment of radiotherapy treatment plans and on treatment chart review.
5.6. Technological Characteristics
ChartCheck (Subject Device) makes use of a Predicate Device, ARIA Radiation Therapy Management (K173838) for substantial equivalence comparison.
5.6.1. ChartCheck vs. ARIA Radiation Therapy Management (K173838)
Varian's ARIA Radiation Therapy Management software "is a treatment plan and image management application. It enables the authorized user to enter, access, modify, store and archive treatment plan and image data from diagnostic studies, treatment planning, simulation, plan verification and treatment. ARIA Radiation Therapy Management also stores the treatment histories including dose delivered to defined sites, and provides tools to verify performed treatments." (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh docs/pdf17/K173838.pdf accessed 04/17/2020)
ChartCheck contains a subset of the features found in ARIA Radiation Therapy Management. ChartCheck provides tools to verify treatment plans and treatments utilizing the same treatment data used by ARIA Radiation Therapy Management. The software is very similar in design and function to the ARIA Radiation Therapy Management software, particularly the "ChartQA" module.

5.7. Performance Data
As with the Predicate Device, no clinical trials were performed for ChartCheck. Verification tests were performed to ensure that the software works as intended and pass/fail criteria were used to verify requirements.
5.8. Conclusion
ChartCheck is deemed substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device, ARIA Radiation Therapy Management (K173838). The fact that ChartCheck indications for use are a subset of the predicate device's indications for use does not raise any new questions regarding safety and effectiveness. Verification and Validation testing and Hazard Analysis demonstrate that ChartCheck is as safe and effective as the Predicate Device.
