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 and Elekta Harmony Pro are the default mid-level configuration. 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 and Elekta Evo are 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.
The Elekta Medical Linear Accelerator (EMLA) is an external beam, image guided Radiation Therapy device to assist a licensed practitioner in the delivery of ionizing radiation to a defined target volume. The system is located in a radiation-shielded treatment room and consists of several sub-systems, such as, the electron accelerator, beam shaping, imaging, computerized control systems and a treatment table to support the patient with accessories for patient positioning and set-up to deliver therapeutic treatments.
The EMLA is equipped with a MV portal imaging sub-system, i.e. iViewGT, and an optional kV imaging sub-system, i.e. XVI. The table is capable of linear and rotational movements.
The user interface controlling devices are located partly in the treatment room and partly in the control room.
The EMLA is made available in the following models: Elekta Synergy, Elekta Harmony, Elekta Infinity, Elekta Harmony Pro, Versa HD, Elekta Evo. The major differences are described in section VII.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Elekta Medical Linear Accelerator (EMLA) describes performance testing for differences between the subject devices (new EMLA models) and the predicate devices (older EMLA models, K210500). The primary focus of the performance testing detailed in the summary is related to improvements in CBCT image quality and reconstruction.
Here’s a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of quantitative acceptance criteria alongside corresponding reported device performance values. Instead, it describes general improvements and conformance to standards. The acceptance is implicitly based on meeting or exceeding the predicate device's performance, especially for the high-definition (HD) reconstruction.
| Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (Summary of Test Results) |
|---|---|
| Conformance to applicable consensus standards (e.g., IEC 60601-2-68 for image quality, IEC 60601-2-1 Ed. 4 for Linac control) | Test results showed conformance of the subject devices to the applicable consensus standards, Elekta defined performance specifications, and associated risk management requirements. |
| FDK based reconstruction function: image quality for IGRT (uniformity, spatial resolution, low contrast visibility, geometric accuracy) | Improved image quality in uniformity, volume outline, and spatial resolution compared to the predicate device, with no adverse impact on registration accuracy. |
| FDK based reconstruction function: image registration accuracy | Accurate registration. The conclusion mentions "no adverse impact to the accuracy of registration" for the FDK based an improved FDK based reconstruction function. |
| HD Reconstruction function (pelvic anatomies): improved image quality for IGRT (uniformity, HU consistency, SNR, CNR, contrast consistency) compared to FDK based reconstruction | Image quality improved in terms of better uniformity and HU accuracy. Improved image quality results in better performance of the automatic registration function, often not requiring manual adjustment. Clinical survey showed a preference for HD Reconstruction over the predicate. |
| HD Reconstruction function (pelvic anatomies): image registration accuracy compared to FDK based reconstruction | Improved image quality often leads to better performance of the automatic registration function, not requiring any manual adjustment post registration. |
| HD Reconstruction function: Clinical image quality (qualitative comparison) | Users qualitatively compared image quality between the predicate device and the subject device, reporting improved image quality. Clinical survey showed a preference towards the HD Reconstruction of the subject device over the predicate. |
| Cybersecurity improvements for linac and imaging system control | The control system for the subject device has improvements to cybersecurity; enables compliance with IEC 60601-2-1 Ed. 4; supports an integrated beam gating interface in compliance with IEC 60601-2-1 Ed. 4 and based on NEMA RT 1-2014 standard. |
| Functional performance characteristics (e.g., photon and electron energy/dose rates) | Most characteristics are "Same" as predicate (e.g., dose rates). Harmony Pro supports more photon and electron energies than predicate Harmony. Subject Synergy uses Agility BLD (which covers MLCi2 performance) whereas predicate Synergy supports both. Elekta Evo supports HexaPOD evo RT System (highest performance). All subject devices conform to the same patient-contact materials and rely on predicate device test data where technological characteristics are the same. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- FDK based reconstruction function (Image Quality Evaluation): "acquired image quality phantom data" - Specific sample size not provided, likely laboratory phantom data.
- FDK based reconstruction function (Image Registration Accuracy): "phantom data and CT reference data" - Specific sample size not provided, likely laboratory phantom data.
- HD Reconstruction vs. FDK (Image quality comparison - clinical data sets): A total of 124 different clinical data sets.
- HD Reconstruction vs. FDK (Image registration accuracy - clinical patient CBCT projection data sets): A total of 13 different clinical patient CBCT projection data sets.
- HD Reconstruction vs. FDK (Clinical image quality evaluation - clinical patient data): Specific number of patients/data sets not explicitly stated, but clinical patient data was used for qualitative comparison.
Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the clinical data or explicitly state whether it was retrospective or prospective. Given it's clinical data sets for evaluating reconstruction, it's highly likely to be retrospective data collected from clinical operations.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document states:
- For the FDK based reconstruction: "reconstruct a CBCT volume image which is suitable for visualizing anatomies to enable certain clinical judgment" - this implies expert judgment in assessment, but does not specify the number or qualifications.
- For the HD Reconstruction: "suitable for visualizing the pelvic anatomies to enable certain clinical judgment".
- "A clinical image quality evaluation was performed between HD Reconstruction function and FDK based reconstruction function, using clinical patient data, where user qualitatively compared image quality between the predicate device and the subject device and reported improved image quality." - This indicates qualitative evaluation by "user", but the number and specific qualifications (e.g., radiologist with X years of experience) are not defined. The document also mentions "Formal validation of the clinical workflows has been performed by competent and professionally qualified personnel" but does not specify them in relation to ground truth establishment for the test set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
The document does not describe a formal adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) for establishing ground truth or evaluating the clinical image quality. It generally refers to qualitative comparison by "user" or "competent and professionally qualified personnel".
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
The document mentions "A clinical image quality evaluation was performed between HD Reconstruction function and FDK based reconstruction function, using clinical patient data, where user qualitatively compared image quality between the predicate device and the subject device and reported improved image quality." It also notes "A clinical survey shows a preference towards the HD Reconstruction of the subject device over the predicate."
This suggests a form of reader study or survey was conducted, where users (human readers) compare images from the legacy FDK method (without the new AI-ML component) to the HD Reconstruction (which "includes an AI-ML based component to estimate the scatter"). However, it's not explicitly labeled as a "multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study" in the formal sense, and no quantitative effect size of improvement for human readers is provided. The improvement is described qualitatively (e.g., "improved image quality," "better uniformity and HU accuracy," "preference").
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, standalone algorithm performance evaluation was done for the FDK and HD reconstruction functions. This is evident from:
- "Image quality evaluation was performed for the FDK based reconstruction function, using acquired image quality phantom data, to evaluate uniformity, spatial resolution, low contrast visibility, and geometric accuracy in accordance with IEC 60601-2-68;"
- "Image quality comparison was performed between HD Reconstruction function and FDK based reconstruction function, using data acquired on phantom data, to evaluate uniformity, spatial resolution, low contrast visibility, and geometric accuracy in accordance with IEC 60601-2-68."
- "Image quality comparison was performed between HD Reconstruction function and FDK based reconstruction function, using a total of 124 different clinical data sets, to evaluate uniformity, Hounsfield Unit consistency, signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, and contrast consistency."
These evaluations measure the intrinsic performance of the reconstruction algorithms without explicit human interaction beyond setting up the evaluation.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The types of ground truth used include:
- Phantom Data: For evaluating image quality metrics (uniformity, spatial resolution, low contrast visibility, geometric accuracy) and image registration accuracy (against CT reference data). Phantoms often have known properties or are designed to allow for quantitative measurement of image accuracy.
- CT Reference Data: Used for comparing image registration accuracy. CT imaging is considered a high-fidelity reference.
- Clinical Patient Data: Used for comparing various image quality metrics (Hounsfield Unit consistency, signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, contrast consistency) and for qualitative "user" comparison of image quality. The "ground truth" for clinical image quality comparison would effectively be the subjective assessment of the users or experts performing the comparison against each other, and against the clinical utility standards.
- Simulated Monte Carlo data: Used to train the neural network component of the HD reconstruction that estimates scatter. This implies a simulated ground truth for scatter estimation.
8. The sample size for the training set
The document states: "It includes an AI-ML based component to estimate the scatter to enable its automatic removal from the projection images acquired by the imager ahead of the volume reconstruction. Simulated Monte Carlo data is used to train the network."
The specific sample size for the training set (i.e., the amount of simulated Monte Carlo data) for the AI-ML component is not provided.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
The ground truth for the training set of the AI-ML component was established through Simulated Monte Carlo data. Monte Carlo simulations are a computational method that can model the physical interactions of radiation with matter, providing a "ground truth" for scatter estimation in this context.

However, there are a few discrepancies between the two standards and in such cases the requirements of the IEC60601-2-1 standard take precedence.
A 3D CBCT reconstruction pipeline is a set of chained software filters that pre-process 2D projection images and create a 3D volume image from the 2D projections. The 3D CBCT image reconstruction pipeline supported by the legally marketed EMLA implements a reconstruction pipeline based on the reconstruction algorithm Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK). The defining characteristic of the Elekta Harmony Pro, VersaHD and Elekta Evo is the introduction of an additional reconstruction pipeline, called High Definition Reconstruction which implements an iterative reconstruction method (Polyquant) which uses ordered subset and steepest descent with total variation regularization to reconstruct the 3D image and takes the spectral properties of the x-ray beam into account. The High Definition Reconstruction implements a scatter correction method using a machine learning method where a neural network is trained to estimate scatter in the projection domain. Simulated Monte Carlo data is used to train the network.
With this change, both reconstruction pipelines are supported by the Elekta Harmony Pro, VersaHD and Elekta Evo.
The High Definition Reconstruction pipeline will be supported for pre-selected anatomies only (currently the pelvic anatomies). The user will have the opportunity to choose which method they want to use, and the system will launch the appropriate reconstruction function.
There are no novel forms of technology introduced in this premarket notification.

Documentation of software development and verification testing activities is maintained in accordance with FDA's "Guidance Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions," June 2023.
The software for this device was considered as "enhanced documentation" level since a failure or flaw of any device software function(s) could present a hazardous situation with a probable risk of death or serious injury, either to a patient, user of the device, or others in the environment of use.
All the subject devices: they feature the same patient-contact materials of the predicate devices. Therefore, test data acquired on the predicate devices support conformance to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1".
All the subject devices: test data acquired on the predicate devices have been used to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device, where performance depends only on technological characteristics which are the same on both devices.
Elekta Harmony Pro and the Elekta Evo: beam uniformity is supported by test data acquired on the predicate devices on the basis that the beam generation and shaping sub-systems are the same for each energy.

510(K) SUMMARY
Documentation of software development and verification testing activities is maintained in accordance with FDA's "Guidance Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions," June 2023.
The software for this device was considered as "enhanced documentation" level since a failure or flaw of any device software function(s) could present a hazardous situation with a probable risk of death or serious injury, either to a patient, user of the device, or others in the environment of use.
All the subject devices: they feature the same patient-contact materials of the predicate devices. Therefore, test data acquired on the predicate devices support conformance to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1".
All the subject devices: test data acquired on the predicate devices have been used to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device, where performance depends only on technological characteristics which are the same on both devices.
Elekta Harmony Pro and the Elekta Evo: beam uniformity is supported by test data acquired on the predicate devices on the basis that the beam generation and shaping sub-systems are the same for each energy.

where user qualitatively compared image quality between the predicate device and the subject device and reported improved image quality.
Conclusion from the tests
Test results showed conformance of the subject devices to the applicable consensus standards, Elekta defined performance specifications and associated risk management requirements.
The conclusion from performance tests carried out to demonstrate the ability of the improved FDK based reconstruction function to reconstruct a CBCT volume image which is suitable for visualizing anatomies to enable certain clinical judgment, and which is suitable for automatic registration with a specified precision is that the subject device has improved image quality in uniformity, volume outline and spatial resolution, with no adverse impact to the accuracy of registration.
Elekta Harmony Pro, Versa HD and the Elekta Evo: the conclusion from performance tests carried out to demonstrate the ability of the HD reconstruction function to reconstruct a CBCT volume image which is suitable for visualizing the pelvic anatomies to enable certain clinical judgment, and which is suitable for automatic registration with a specified precision is that image quality has improved in terms of a better uniformity and HU accuracy. In several cases, improved image quality results in better performance of the automatic registration function, not requiring any manual adjustment post registration. A clinical survey shows a preference towards the HD Reconstruction of the subject device over the predicate.
Formal validation of the clinical workflows has been performed by competent and professionally qualified personnel.
IX. SUMMARY OF PERFORMACE TESTING (CLINICAL)
No animal or clinical tests were performed to establish substantial equivalence with the predicate device.
X. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION
The subject devices have the same intended use as the predicate devices. The changes in the technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Non-clinical testing only was used to evaluate the performance, safety and effectiveness of the subject device. The methods are scientifically acceptable and based on FDA guidance and recognized consensus standards. The test results demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
Therefore, the new and modified EMLA models are substantially equivalent to the EMLA models cleared under K210500 (predicate devices).
