No
The summary does not mention AI or ML, and the performance studies focus on mechanical, beam, and safety aspects, not AI/ML model performance.
Yes
The device is described as providing a "therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment" and is designed for the "treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation."
No.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "proton beam irradiation system" and mentions mechanical performance testing of hardware components like the rotating gantry and patient couch, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed to "produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation." This describes a therapeutic device used directly on a patient for treatment.
- Device Description: The description reinforces this by calling it a "proton beam irradiation system" that provides a "therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment."
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such tests on samples.
The PROBEAT-FR is a therapeutic radiation device used for cancer treatment, not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Lina Kontos:
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 (the 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 available 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.

In all instances, the PROBEAT-FR functioned as intended and met its specifications. Testing demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicates.
Conclusions
The PROBEAT-FR is as safe and effective as the predicate PROBEAT-CR System. PROBEAT-FR has the same intended uses and indications, similar technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences between the PROBEAT-FR that is the subject of this submission and the cleared PROBEAT-CR do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the PROBEAT-FR is as safe and effective as the cleared PROBEAT-CR system. Thus, the PROBEAT-FR is substantially equivalent to its predicates.
