Intended Use
ART-Plan is a software designed to assist the contouring process of the target anatomical regions on 3D-images of cancer patients for whom radiotherapy treatment has been planned. The SmartFuse module allows the user to register combinations of anatomical and functional images and display them with fused and non-fused displays to facilitate the comparison and delineation of image data by the user. The images created with rigid or elastic registrations, potential modifications, and then the validation of a trained user with professional qualifications in anatomy and radiotherapy. With the Annotate module, users can edit manually and semi-automatically the contours for the regions of interest. It also allows to generate automatically, and based on medical practices, the contours for the organs at risk and healthy lymph nodes on CT images. The contours created automatically, semi-automatically or manually require verifications, and then the validation of a trained user with professional qualifications in anatomy and radiotherapy. The device is intended to be used in a clinical setting, by trained professionals only.
Device Description
The ART-Plan application is comprised of two kev modules: SmartFuse and Annotate, allowing the user to display and visualize 3D multi-modal medical image data. The user may process, render, review, store, display and distribute DICOM 3.0 compliant datasets within the system and/or across computer networks. Supported modalities include static and gated CT (computerized tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), and MR (magnetic resonance). The overview of the product, in terms of input/output, functionalities and integration within the current clinical workflow for radiation therapy planning. The ART-Plan technical functionalities claimed by TheraPanacea are the following: - .

Yes
The device description explicitly mentions "Proposing automatic solutions to the user, such as an automatic delineation... towards improving standardization of processes/ performance / reducing user tedious / time consuminq involvement." and "generate automatically... the contours for the organs at risk and healthy lymph nodes on CT images." While the terms AI or ML are not directly used in the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section, the functionality described (automatic delineation/segmentation based on medical practices) is a common application of AI/ML in medical imaging. The performance studies also focus on "Autosegmentation performances," further supporting the use of automated algorithms likely powered by AI/ML.

No

Explanation: The device is a software tool used for image processing and assisting in the contouring process for radiotherapy planning. It does not directly treat or prevent diseases, but rather supports the planning phase of a therapeutic intervention.

No.

The device is intended to assist in the contouring process for radiotherapy planning, which is a treatment planning step, not a diagnostic step. It helps in delineating anatomical regions on images, but it does not diagnose a condition or provide a medical diagnosis on its own.

Yes

The device is described as a software application comprised of two modules, SmartFuse and Annotate, that processes, renders, reviews, stores, displays, and distributes DICOM data. The description focuses solely on software functionalities and does not mention any associated hardware components that are part of the device itself.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • ART-Plan's Function: ART-Plan is a software designed to assist in the contouring process on medical images for radiotherapy planning. It processes and visualizes existing medical images (CT, PET, MR) of cancer patients. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the software assists in the contouring of anatomical regions on 3D images. This is an image processing and visualization task, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on image processing, rendering, review, storage, and display of DICOM compliant datasets. It describes functionalities related to image fusion, segmentation, and visualization.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, ART-Plan falls under the category of medical image processing and analysis software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

No
The provided text explicitly states "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP): Not Found," and it does not contain any language indicating that the FDA has reviewed, approved, or cleared a PCCP for this device.

Device Description:

The ART-Plan application is comprised of two kev modules: SmartFuse and Annotate, allowing the user to display and visualize 3D multi-modal medical image data. The user may process, render, review, store, display and distribute DICOM 3.0 compliant datasets within the system and/or across computer networks. Supported modalities include static and gated CT (computerized tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), and MR (magnetic resonance).

The overview of the product, in terms of input/output, functionalities and integration within the current clinical workflow for radiation therapy planning.

The ART-Plan technical functionalities claimed by TheraPanacea are the following:

  • . Proposing automatic solutions to the user, such as an automatic delineation, automatic multimodal image fusion, etc. towards improving standardization of processes/ performance / reducing user tedious / time consuminq involvement.
  • . Offering to the user a set of tools to assist semi-automatic delineation, semi-automatic registration towards modifying/editing manually automatically generated structures and addinq/removing new/undesired structures or imposing user-provided correspondences constraints on the fusion of multimodal images.
  • . Presenting to the user a set of visualization methods of the delineated structures, and registration fusion maps.
  • . Saving the delineated structures / fusion results for use in the dosimetry process.
  • . Enabling rigid and deformable registration of patients images sets to combine information contained in different or same modalities.

Technological Characteristics:

A comparative review of the ART-Plan with the predicate device found that the technology. mode of operation, and general principles for treatment with this device were substantially equivalent.as the predicate device.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."

The software for this device was considered as a "major" level of concern, since a failure or latent design flaw could directly result in death or serious injury to the patient or a failure or provide diagnostic information that directly drives a decision regarding treatment or therapy, such that if misapplied it could result in serious injury or death.

Animal Studies

No animal studies were conducted as part of submission to prove substantial equivalence.

Clinical Studies

No clinical studies were conducted as part of submission to prove substantial equivalence.

Safety and Effectiveness/Conclusion:

Based on the information presented in these 510(k) premarket notifications the TheraPanacea ART-Plan is considered substantially equivalent.

Based on testing and comparison with the predicate devices, TheraPanacea ART-Plan indicated no adverse indications or results. It is our determination that the TheraPanacea ART-
