Intended Use
The 2-D AUTIMO system is intended for the fabrication and positioning in radiotherapy of indivdualized (irregular) shielding blocks.
Device Description
The AUTIMO 2-D model is a computer-controlled cutting tool to produce customized shielding blocks for use in radiotherapy. The computer accepts files from existing treatment-planning system operating on a LAN. The GE-Target, Siemens Helax, and Theratronics Theraplan systems are examples of such treatment-planning software. The computer interprets the files from the planning system and communicates with the AUTIMO device through a serial port. The 2-D model allows automatic hot-wire-cutting of styrofoam molds such as lung blocks and irregular sections.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on computer-controlled cutting based on existing treatment planning system files, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for interpretation or processing.

No
The device is described as a computer-controlled cutting tool for fabricating customized shielding blocks used in radiotherapy, not a device directly used in a therapeutic manner on a patient. It is a tool for a radiotherapy process, not a therapeutic device itself.

No
The device is described as a cutting tool for fabricating and positioning individualized shielding blocks for radiotherapy. Its function is to produce physical shields based on treatment plans, not to diagnose medical conditions or analyze patient data for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "computer-controlled cutting tool" and mentions "automatic hot-wire-cutting," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the 2-D AUTIMO system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "fabrication and positioning in radiotherapy of individualized (irregular) shielding blocks." This is a physical process related to preparing equipment for radiation therapy, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "computer-controlled cutting tool to produce customized shielding blocks." This further reinforces its role in manufacturing physical objects for treatment, not analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition

The 2-D AUTIMO system is a manufacturing tool used in the preparation of radiotherapy treatment, not a diagnostic device.

LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES · A.

The AUTIMO 2-D System is substantially equivalent to its predecessor device currently marketed by HEK Medizintechnik, the MCP-70-SE (K844180).

B. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The AUTIMO 2-D model is a computer-controlled cutting tool to produce customized shielding blocks for use in radiotherapy. The computer accepts files from existing treatment-planning system operating on a The GE-Target, Siemens Helax, and Theratronics Theraplan LAN. systems are examples of such treatment-planning software. The computer interprets the files from the planning system and communicates with the AUTIMO device through a serial port.

The 2-D model allows automatic hot-wire-cutting of styrofoam molds such as lung blocks and irregular sections.

C. INTENDED USE

The 2.0-D AUTIMO System is intended for the fabrication and positioning in radiotherapy of irregular shielding blocks.

Dear Dr. Athey:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 51 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations,

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4591 for Radiology devices, or 594-4613 for Ear, Nose and Throat devices. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
