The document describes a standard radiation therapy planning system that performs calculations and optimizations based on user input and established physics models. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
No.
This device is a treatment planning system, which is used to create and assess radiation therapy treatment plans. It does not directly deliver therapy, but rather prepares the information for a separate treatment delivery system.
No
The device is a treatment planning system used to create and assess radiation therapy plans, not to diagnose medical conditions. It uses previously acquired diagnostic images but its function is planning treatment, not diagnosis.
No
The device is described as a "radiation therapy planning system" that uses diagnostic images and interacts with "radiation delivery systems." While it is primarily software, its function is intrinsically tied to and dependent on hardware (imaging devices and radiation delivery systems) for both input and output, and it is not solely a software application operating independently of physical medical devices.
Based on the provided information, the Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Accuray Precision® Function: The Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System uses medical images (CT, MR, PET) of the patient's body to create and assess radiation treatment plans. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for planning and assessing external photon beam irradiation treatment, not for diagnosing or monitoring a patient's condition through laboratory analysis.
Therefore, the Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment planning, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System is indicated for creation and assessment of external photon beam irradiation treatment plans for radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated. A treatment plan provides an estimate of the dose distribution and the parameters utilized by the radiation delivery system. Plans must be reviewed and approved by qualified medical practitioners prior to delivery.
The Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System is intended to be used by physicians, medical physicists, and dosimetrists to generate radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery treatment plans. Plans may be created with the Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System for delivery using Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) or 3-D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT) techniques. The users will be able to create a plan that satisfies established clinical objectives. For stereotactic radiosurgery, the plan will generally involve delivering a tumoricidal dose to target tissue, while minimizing dose to other tissues. For radiation therapy and stereotactic radiotherapy, the plan will generally involve delivering a damaging dose to diseased tissue at a level that allows healthy tissue in the target volume to recover, while also minimizing dose to tissue outside the target volume. The treatment plan with dose distributions and complete delivered dose value along with the input data will be available through a user display or printed report for user review and evaluation against the treatment prescription and established physics models. The treatment plan will then be saved by the user, approved by the qualified medical practitioner, and subsequently delivered by the treatment delivery system.

Device Description
The Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System is a radiation therapy planning system used for the creation and assessment of treatment plans for delivery by radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery treatment systems.
The radiation treatment plan is developed by using diagnostic CT (primary image series) and/or secondary images (MR and PET) of the patient previously acquired prior to treatment and saved into the central database server (iDMS Data Management System). The images are imported from the database server into the Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System to register/ fuse for dose calculation, and to accurately define/contour regions of interest (target) and the surrounding critical anatomical structures to avoid.
The user (dosimetrist/ medical physician) then specifies the treatment delivery machine (CyberKnife or TomoTherapy systems, Radixact systems), treatment delivery mode (e.g., 3DCRT, IMRT) and the patient alignment at the treatment machine. This is followed by specifying the radiation dose criteria for the identified regions of interest, as well as the number of fractions over which this dose is to be administered. After the relevant data has been entered, the user initiates the treatment plan calculation or optimization process. When the treatment plan has been calculated, the user may refine the plan with adjustments to the regions of interest, avoidance structures, and dose criteria and re-optimize the plan.
Once an optimized treatment plan is produced that meets the requirements of the intended therapy, the prescribing physician approves the plan for delivery and the plan is saved on the database server as a treatment delivery plan. The plan reports are also printed for the patient record.
