The document mentions "Iterative CBCT (iCBCT - includes pelvis large and image gently)" and "iCBCT improvements (Improvement to the iCBCT algorithm, for when the patient's outer contour is changing during a CT scan.)". While iterative reconstruction algorithms can sometimes incorporate ML techniques, this summary does not explicitly state that AI/ML is used in the iCBCT algorithm or any other part of the device. The lack of mention of AI/ML in the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section and the absence of details about training/test sets further support the "Unknown" conclusion.
Yes
The device is described as a "medical linear accelerator that delivered therapeutic radiation to patient in accordance with the physician's prescription," and its intended use is to "provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions." These descriptions clearly indicate that the device is used for treatment, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device, a medical linear accelerator, is explicitly described as a therapeutic device ("delivered therapeutic radiation to patient") used for "stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions". Its purpose is to treat, not to diagnose.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "medical linear accelerator" and mentions hardware verification and validation testing, indicating it is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only medical 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 TrueBeam, TrueBeam STx, Edge, and VitalBeam Systems are used to deliver radiation therapy for treating lesions, tumors, and conditions. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "medical linear accelerator that delivered therapeutic radiation to patient". This confirms its function as a treatment delivery system.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. There is no mention of this device analyzing any biological samples.
- Input Imaging Modality: While the device uses imaging modalities, these are used for guidance and positioning during the radiation therapy delivery, not for analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the TrueBeam and VitalBeam systems are therapeutic medical devices, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

TrueBeam, TrueBeam STx, Edge and VitalBeam was designed and developed, including verification and validation testing, within an established Quality System compliant to:
EN ISO 13485:2016 EN ISO 14971:2012 21 CFR §820 – Quality System Regulation
Conclusion of Non-Clinical testing
The outcome was that the product conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses and that there were no DRs (discrepancy reports) remaining which had a priority of Safety Intolerable. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Argument for Substantial Equivalence to the Predicate Device
TrueBeam, TrueBeam STx, Edge and VitalBeam v3.0 (subject device) are substantially equivalent to the TrueBeam and VitalBeam v2.7 (predicate device). A subset of technological characteristics and features of the current device is different to the predicate. These differences are all considered by Varian to be enhancements of the predicate. The Intended Use and indications for use are unchanged. There are no changes in the principle of operation of the device. The results of the verification, validation and safety standards testing demonstrates that there are no changes to the safety profile of the device. Therefore, the TrueBeam, TrueBeam STx, Edge and VitalBeam v3.0 (subject device) is substantially equivalent to the TrueBeam and VitalBeam v2.7 (predicate device).
