Intended Use
The 4D Integrated Treatment Console provides assistance for accurate treatment delivery for each patient by monitoring linear accelerator parameters and by preventing the radiation therapy device from commencing irradiation when any parameter is out of conformance with the treatment plan.
Device Description
4D Integrated Treatment Console (4DITC) allows the user to retrieve treatment plans and images from the Oncology Information System (OIS) and send the plan and images to the Treatment Console System (TCS). The planned treatment parameters from the OIS are verified against the TCS delivery parameters for accuracy. All treatment parameters on the TCS must match the treatment parameters on the 4DITC before treatment can be delivered. After the treatment has been completed for the session, the user closes the session and treatment history is sent to the OIS to be recorded. The recorded treatment history can then be displayed and reviewed in the Oll.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission

No
The description focuses on parameter verification and data transfer, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities.

No
The device is described as assisting with accurate treatment delivery by monitoring linear accelerator parameters and preventing irradiation when parameters are out of conformance. It does not actively treat or diagnose a disease.

No

The device is described as assisting with "accurate treatment delivery" by "monitoring linear accelerator parameters and by preventing the radiation therapy device from commencing irradiation when any parameter is out of conformance with the treatment plan." This indicates a function of control and verification for treatment rather than diagnosis of a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it interacts with and verifies parameters from a "Treatment Console System (TCS)" and a "linear accelerator," which are hardware components. While the 4DITC itself might be primarily software, its function is intrinsically tied to controlling and monitoring hardware, making it a system that includes hardware, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device provides assistance for accurate treatment delivery by monitoring linear accelerator parameters and preventing irradiation when parameters are out of conformance with the treatment plan. This is a function related to radiation therapy delivery, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease or injury.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on retrieving and verifying treatment plans and parameters for radiation therapy. It does not mention any interaction with biological specimens or laboratory procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnostic information, or any of the typical characteristics associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the 4D Integrated Treatment Console is a device used in the context of radiation therapy treatment delivery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Coronado:

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/cfpmp/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 and Part 809); 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

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

4D Integrated Treatment Console (4DITC) allows the user to retrieve treatment plans and images from the Oncology Information System (OIS) and send the plan and images to the Treatment Console System (TCS). The planned treatment parameters from the OIS are verified against the TCS delivery parameters for accuracy. All treatment parameters on the TCS must match the treatment parameters on the 4DITC before treatment can be delivered. After the treatment has been completed for the session, the user closes the session and treatment history is sent to the OIS to be recorded. The recorded treatment history can then be displayed and reviewed in the Oll.

Test results demonstrate conformance to applicable requirements and specifications. No animal studies or clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission.

Standards Conformance

The subject device conforms in whole or in part with the following standards:

  • IEC 62304:2006+A1:2015 Medical device software - Software lifecycle processes
  • IEC 62366-1:2015 Medical device – Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices
  • IEC 61217:2011 Radiotherapy Equipment Coordinates, Movements and Scales .
  • IEC 62274:2005 Medical electrical equipment - Safety of radiotherapy record and verify systems

CONCLUSION

The predicate device was cleared based only on non-clinical testing, and no animal or clinical studies were performed for the subject device. The non-clinical verification and validation data demonstrates that the subject device should perform as intended in the specified use conditions.

Therefore, Varian considers the subject device, 4D Integrated Treatment Console v13.0 MR4, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device 4D Integrated Treatment Console v13.0 (K133331).
