V. INTENDED USE / INDICATION FOR USE STATEMENT

The Elekta Medical Linear Accelerator (EMLA) is intended to be used for external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) treatments as determined by a licensed medical practitioner.

It is intended to assist a licensed medical practitioner in the delivery of EBRT to defined target volumes, while sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation.

  • Elekta Synergy and Elekta Harmony are the default entry-level configurations. It is intended to be used for single or multiple fractions using standard dose fractionation, hyperfractionation, and hypofractionation in all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated.
  • Elekta Infinity is the default mid-level configurations. It is intended to be used for single or multiple fractions using standard dose fractionation, hyperfractionation, hypofractionation and stereotactic delivery (stereotactic body radiation therapy -SBRT; stereotactic ablative radiotherapy – SABR) in all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated.
  • Versa HD is the default high-level configuration. It is intended to be used for single or multiple fractions using standard fractionation, hyperfractionation, hypofractionation and stereotactic delivery (stereotactic body radiation therapy - SBRT; stereotactic ablative radiotherapy – SABR; stereotactic radio surgery - SRS) in all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated and for the treatment of functional disorders, such as trigeminal neuralgia.

The EMLA is indicated for the delivery of curative and palliative intent EBRT to Adult and Pediatric patients with primary benign and malignant tumor and metastasis (or secondaries) anywhere in the body.

VI. SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The vast majority of technological characteristics are the same, however, there are some changes. All the changes are to be considered minor in respect of the complexity of technology employed in the EMLA.

The Elekta Harmony variant features improved user interface controls in the treatment room, a patient support system capable of motorized linear movement along the longitudinal, lateral and vertical directions and manual movement around the column axis, but it does not support the motorized rotational movement around the isocentre axis as the predicate device does. The Elekta Harmony model can be installed in a bunker up to 500cm smaller than the other models of the EMLA family. The Elekta Harmony imaging device panels are permanently deployed, while those of the predicate device are foldable.

There are no novel forms of technology introduced in this premarket notification.

VII. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING (NON-CLINICAL)

Development, verification and validation activities for the modified system were carried out in accordance with design controls as required by FDA's Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820.30), applicable ISO 13485 Quality Management System requirements, ISO 14971 Risk Management requirements, and IEC 62304 requirements for software life-cycle processes. Non-clinical testing was performed to

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

evaluate device performance and functionality in accordance with design and risk management requirements at subsystem, integration and system levels including interoperability. This includes the essential performance defined by Elekta. Basic safety and essential performance of the individual subsystems and the integrated EMLA system have been satisfied through conformance with the applicable general, particular and collateral safety and essential performance standards for medical devices.

Documentation of software development and verification testing activities for each subsystem of the EMLA system is maintained in accordance with FDA's "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices," May 2005, for devices that pose a major level of concern (Class C per IEC 62304).

Formal validation of the clinical workflows has been performed on a clinically representative production equivalent system by competent and professionally qualified personnel.

VIII. CONCLUSION DRAWN FROM TESTS

The verification and validation non-clinical test results demonstrate compliance with the applicable consensus standards and that the functional and performance requirements defined by Elekta are met. We therefore conclude that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device.

IX. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Elekta Harmony is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices cleared under K192242 in intended use and indications for use, principles of operation, technological characteristics, performance, and labelling.
