No
The summary describes a data management and visualization system for radiation therapy. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would typically involve learning from data or making predictions. The focus is on data storage, access, modification, and verification.
No
The device is a treatment management application for radiation therapy, focusing on data and image handling, not the direct delivery of therapeutic intervention itself. It supports the treatment process but is not a therapeutic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "treatment application" and a "treatment plan and image management application," rather than one used for diagnosing medical conditions. While it manages data from "diagnostic studies," its core function is treatment-related.
No
The description focuses on software functionalities but also mentions integration with film digitizers and managing data from various imaging modalities, implying interaction with hardware components beyond just software execution. The summary of performance studies only mentions software verification and validation, but this doesn't definitively exclude the device from having hardware components or relying on specific hardware for its intended use.
Based on the provided information, the ARIA Radiation Therapy Management product is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue, taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed in vitro (outside the body).
- ARIA's Function: The description clearly states that ARIA is a "treatment application" and a "treatment plan and image management application." Its primary functions involve managing, storing, and processing data and images related to radiation therapy treatment planning, simulation, verification, and delivery. It also tracks treatment histories and dose delivered.
- No Mention of Sample Testing: There is no mention of ARIA performing any tests on biological samples from a patient. Its focus is on managing data and images related to the treatment process itself.
Therefore, ARIA falls under the category of a medical device used in the management and delivery of radiation therapy, not an IVD used for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation were conducted according to the FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820), ISO 13485 Quality Management System standard, ISO 14971 Risk Management System standard and other FDA recognized consensus standards listed below. Test results showed that applicable requirements were met and assured that safeguards against hazards functioned properly.
The documentation in the submission was provided as recommended by the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005).

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/cfpmn/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); 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
