No
The device description and intended use describe a physical ionization chamber used for collecting radiation beam data. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
The device is described as an ionization chamber used for collecting beam data from radiation therapy treatment machines, to document beam characteristics and for quality assurance. It does not exert any therapeutic effect on a patient.
No
The device is used to collect beam data from radiation therapy treatment machines to document beam characteristics and for quality assurance programs, not to diagnose a patient's condition or disease directly.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like thimbles, stems, cables, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for collecting beam data from radiation therapy treatment machines to document beam characteristics and maintain quality assurance. This is related to the performance and calibration of a medical device (radiation therapy machine), not for testing biological samples from a patient to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
- Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of an ionization chamber used to measure radiation, not a device designed to analyze biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Diagnosing or monitoring diseases
- Using reagents or assays
The device is clearly intended for use in the calibration and quality control of radiation therapy equipment, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PTW T30004, T30005, T30001 and T30002 0.6 cc Farmer type ionization chambers are intended to be used for the collection of beam data in water, air, or other suitable solid state phantom material from radiation therapy treatment machines. This data is used to completely document the beam characteristics of treatment machines and to establish and maintain an on going treatment machine quality assurance program.

Device Description
The PTW T30004 and T30005 are classical 0.6 cc Farmer type ionization chambers. These chambers differ only in the type of material their respected thimbles are made of. The T30004 has a graphite thimble and an aluminum stem and the T30005 has a solid water thimble and an aluminum stem. The chambers can be thimble vented, which is not waterproof, or connector vented, which is water proof. Both chambers offer 1 or 10 meter cables for connection to an electrometer, and a variety of standard electrometer connectors (BNT, TNC, M, BNC banana).
The connector vented version of the PTW T30001 and T30002 Farmer type ionization chambers are simply a waterproof version of the thimble vented chambers that were cleared to market by the FDA under K951764. The Farmer type ionization chamber, when connected to an appropriate electrometer like the PTW-UNYODS. K951764, is used to collect beam data from radiation therapy treatment machines.

§ 892.5050 Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system.
(a)
Identification. A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II. When intended for use as a quality control system, the film dosimetry system (film scanning system) included as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics to the Predicate Devices:
The indications for use are exactly the same as the predicate devices, PTW T30001 and T30002 0.6 cc Farmer type ionization chambers, which were cleared to market by the FDA under K951764.
The designs are exactly the same.
The manufacturing and testing, process and procedures are exactly the same.
The materials used are the same as in the predicate devices with the exception of the solid water used for the T30005 thimble. For this particular device and its application, solid water is universally accepted as equivalent to PMMA or graphite, which are the materials used in the thimbles of the predicate chambers.
The specifications are the same as the predicate devices.
The indications for use, design, materials, manufacturing, and specifications of the PTW T30004, T30005, T30001, and T30002 do not raise any issues with regard to safety and effectiveness. PTW considers all of these 0.6 cc Farmer type ionization chambers equivalent to the predicate devices for radiation therapy beam data acquisition.
