Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information based on the provided text, using the requested format:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided text does not explicitly state specific quantitative acceptance criteria or corresponding reported device performance metrics for the myQA iON. Instead, it describes general testing categories to assess the device's performance. The study aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence, implying that its performance should be comparable to the predicate device but doesn't quantify this in a numerical acceptance table within this document.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance (as described) |
|---|---|
| Risk Analysis Testing | Verified implementation of identified hazard mitigation. |
| Software Testing | Verified correct software implementation. |
| Physics Testing | Verified correct behavior of physics algorithms. |
| Integration Testing | Verified correct integration of different software components. |
| System Testing | Verified correct implementation of the clinical workflow. |
| Beta Testing | Validated the usability of the software. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the sample size used for any of the described tests (Risk Analysis, Software, Physics, Integration, System, or Beta Testing). It also does not mention the country of origin of the data or whether the tests were retrospective or prospective. These tests appear to be internal verification and validation activities conducted by the manufacturer.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
The document does not provide information on the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth within the described non-clinical tests. The tests focus on software functionality, physics algorithms, and workflow, which typically rely on internal validation against established standards or expected behaviors rather than expert consensus on a "ground truth" dataset in the typical clinical AI sense.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set. Given the nature of the described non-clinical tests, such adjudication methods are typically not applicable.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
The document explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, the IBA Dosimetry myQA iON product, did not require clinical testing to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device." Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done, and there is no reported effect size regarding human reader improvement with or without AI assistance.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
The document describes "Physics Testing verifying the correct behavior of the physics algorithms" and "Software Testing verifying the correct software implementation." While these evaluate the algorithm's performance in isolation from a human user in some sense, they are part of non-clinical verification and validation activities, not a formal standalone performance study as would typically be conducted for a diagnostic AI. The device's intended use is as a "software toolbox allowing the Medical Physicist to perform quality assurance activities," implying a human-in-the-loop interaction for its full functionality. However, the core independent dose calculation and analysis features could be considered standalone algorithmic functions. The document does not present a dedicated "standalone performance study" with metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the non-clinical tests appears to be based on:
- Identified hazard mitigations: For Risk Analysis Testing.
- Expected software implementation and behavior: For Software, Integration, and System Testing.
- Known physical principles and expected outputs: For Physics Testing verifying the correct behavior of physics algorithms.
- Usability goals: For Beta Testing.
This is not "expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data" in the typical clinical context but rather internal validation against design specifications and established scientific/engineering principles.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not mention a training set sample size. The myQA iON is described as a "software toolbox" and implies deterministic physics algorithms and analysis tools rather than a machine learning model that would require a distinct training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Since the document does not indicate the use of a training set for a machine learning model, this information is not applicable and is not provided.

The differences between the products in the table above do not influence the safety and effectiveness of the myQA iON device nor does it prevent it from fulfilling its intended use.
The difference between myQA iON and the Mobius3D devices lies in the area of application. While both are designed to perform patient quality assurances tasks for radiation therapy, the Mobius3D focuses on radio-therapy whereas the myQA iON focuses on proton therapy.
We believe that in the present case, this difference is neglectable to prove substantial equivalence. Indeed, the clinical workflows are identical for both proton and radio-therapy patient quality assurance. In both cases, the treatment plan is created in DICOM format on the treatment planning system and exported to the quality assurance platform. The platform then computes an independent dose using a Monte Carlo dose engine and allows the user to complement the analysis by using machine irradiation log and ion chamber measurements at the isocenter.
{8}------------------------------------------------
9. Environment of Use
The typical environment of use for myQA iON is the radiation therapy center. However, as myQA iON is a web application, the environment of use can vary depending on the location of the user.
10. Summary of Non-Clinical Test
IBA Dosimetry performed system and software level tests to assess the performance of the myQA iON product. The following tests have been provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
- . Risk Analysis Testing verifying the implementation of the identified hazard mitigation;
- . Software Testing verifying the correct software implementation;
- . Physics Testing verifying the correct behavior of the physics algorithms;
- Integration Testing verifying the correct integration of the different software components;
- . System Testing verifying the correct implementation of the clinical workflow;
- . Beta Testing validating the usability of the software.
11. Summary of Clinical Test
The subject of this premarket submission, the IBA Dosimetry myQA iON product, did not require clinical testing to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
12. Conclusion
The verification and validation activities ensure that the IBA Dosimetry myQA iON product provides substantial equivalence in terms of safety, effectiveness and performance to the predicate device.
