Intended Use
The Scanditronix Medical RFA-300, LDA Utility is used to more effectively perform radiation therapy beam measurements including acceptance testing, trimming information, routine beam checks and quality assurance measurements and on-line data analyses using personal computer (PC) monitor. These uses are similar to those of the predicate identified in section (3) of this Summary.
Device Description
The Scanditronix Medical RFA-300, LDA Utility is an extension to the RFA-300 system used to measure radiation therapy beam intensity. For use, a complete RFA-300 system is needed extended with the following equipment: 1. Multichannel electrometers emX which provides 12 independent electrometer channels each or a DPD-510 which provides 10 independent electrometer channels. 2. Linear Detector Array LDA-11 (11 detectors) or LDA-25 (25 detectors). 3. PC-based software providing control, display, calibration and save functions.

The summary describes a system for measuring radiation therapy beam intensity using electrometers and detector arrays controlled by PC software. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any characteristics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms. The performance study focuses on comparing operational characteristics to a predicate device, not on the performance metrics common for AI/ML systems.

No
The device is used to measure radiation therapy beam intensity and perform quality assurance measurements for radiation therapy equipment, not to deliver therapy to a patient.

No.
The device is used to measure radiation therapy beam intensity for quality assurance and acceptance testing, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description explicitly states that the software is an "extension to the RFA-300 system" and requires additional hardware components (Multichannel electrometers and Linear Detector Array) for its intended use. Therefore, it is not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "perform radiation therapy beam measurements." This is a measurement of the radiation beam itself, not a test performed on a biological sample (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description details components used to measure radiation intensity (electrometers, detector arrays). There is no mention of reagents, samples, or procedures related to analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples
    • Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases
    • Use in a laboratory setting for patient testing

The device is used for quality assurance and measurement of a medical device (a radiation therapy machine), which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

§ 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.
