No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the description focuses on traditional treatment management and quality assurance functions.
No
The device is described as a system for "improved treatment management and quality assurance in Radiotherapy" and for "booking, set-up, verification and documentation of the radiotherapy process." It helps manage and verify radiation treatment but does not directly deliver or produce a therapeutic effect on the patient.
No
The device is used for treatment management, quality assurance, and documentation in radiotherapy, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
Unknown
The summary describes a system for managing and documenting radiotherapy, which is likely software-based, but it doesn't explicitly state that it is only software and doesn't include any associated hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "radiation treatment Patients undergoing according to prescribed treatment plan." This describes a system used in the delivery and management of a medical treatment (radiotherapy), not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The description focuses on "improved treatment management and quality assurance in Radiotherapy," including booking, set-up, verification, and documentation. This aligns with a system used in the clinical workflow of radiotherapy.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Helax-VISIR system's function is clearly related to the delivery and management of radiation therapy, which is a treatment process.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Helax-VISIR is designed to be a tool for supporting the process of scheduling, preparing, setting up, delivering and recording radiation therapy. It will help administrating patient sessions through the booking functionality and activity reports. It will fetch data from dose planning systems and simulators automatically or by manual input. At each individual treatment Helax-VISIR will present setup data to the operator and also to the linac through a specific interface. Actual setup will be verified. During treatment Helax-VISIR can monitor the progress of both monitor values and optional in vivo dosimetry. All data relevant for the given treatment can be recorded.
Helax-VISIR is intended to be operated by physiciats, physicians and radiographers skilled in radiation therapy and trained in using the system. Thus the functionality of VISIR is to a large extent based on warnings instead of inhibiting actions. Absolute inhibition is used in situations where e.g. inconsistencies could be introduced. The overall philosophy is not to take control but to help the staff detecting unintentional actions.
The intended use is the same as the predicate devices.
Indications For Use: radiation treatment Patients undergoing according to prescribed treatment plan.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Tornqvist:
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 intentions for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (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 II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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 submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under 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 marked 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 ying diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. 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".
