The description focuses on standard treatment planning calculations, coordinate transformations, and user-driven plan creation based on diagnostic images and dosimetry data. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for tasks like automated contouring, plan optimization using learning models, or predictive analytics. The performance studies described are also standard validation tests for treatment planning systems, not AI/ML model performance evaluations.
No
The device is a treatment planning system for stereotactic radiosurgery, which calculates and displays radiation dose distributions. It does not directly deliver therapy; rather, it aids in creating a plan for a therapeutic device.
No
The device is a treatment planning system for stereotactic radiosurgery, which uses diagnostic imaging data to plan radiation therapy, rather than performing diagnosis itself.
Yes
The device description focuses entirely on the software's function of processing imaging data, defining target volumes, creating treatment plans, and displaying dose distributions. While it interacts with external hardware (CT/MR scanners, linear accelerators, headframes), the device itself, as described, is the software system performing the planning calculations and visualizations. There is no mention of the device including or controlling any hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: This device is a Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment Planning System. Its purpose is to create a treatment plan for radiation therapy based on patient imaging data. It calculates and displays radiation dose distributions within the patient's body.
- No Specimen Analysis: The system does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the patient. Its inputs are diagnostic images and source dosimetry data.
Therefore, the function and intended use of this device clearly fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. It is a medical device used for treatment planning, not for analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Stereotactic Radiosurgery system is to be used to create a treatment plan for any patient with single or multiple lesions of the brain and for whom radiation therapy has been prescribed.
The system will calculate and display, both on-screen and in hard-copy, either two- or three-dimensional radiation dose distributions within a patient for a given treatment plan set-up.
Purpose: To calculate and display, both on-screen and in hard-copy, either two- or threedimensional radiation dose distributions within a patient diagnosed as having single or multiple brain lesions based on user-defined radiation treatment plan parameters.
The addition of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Therapy Planning capability to the system is a logical extension of the original intended use of the system. Stereotactic Radiosurgery is actually a sub-set of standard treatment planning in that it accepts the same inputs in the same formats as that for general planning. One significant difference is that, in Stereotactic Radiosurgery There are no treatment aids between the source and the patient. All therapy is performed using what are referred to as "open fields". One new item is the introduction of "headframes" which, as the name implies, attach to the patients head, enhance target immobilization, and provide a unique patient coordinate system. The significant issue introduced here is one of coordinate transformation between the headframe and the patient diagnostic imaging data from the CT or MR machine. The system has been validated and marketed to support only the Brown .-. Roberts-Wells (BRW) headframe for CT or MR scans.

Device Description
The FOCUS Radiation Treatment Planning System accepts a) patient diagnostic imaging data from CT or MR scans or from films and b) "source" dosimetry data, typically from a linear accelerator. The system then permits the user to define a target volume to be treated based on these diagnostic images. Based on the prescribed dose, the user, typically a Dosimetrist or Medical Physicist, can then create multiple treatment scenarios involving the number, position(s) and energy of radiation beams and the use of treatment aids between the source of radiation and the patient (wedges, blocks, ports, etc.). The FOCUS System then produces a display of radiation dose distribution within the patient, indicating not only dose to the target volume but to surrounding tissue and structures. The "best" plan satisfying the prescription is then selected. one which maximizes dose to the target volume while minimizing dose to surrounding healthy volume. The parameters of the plan are output in hard-copy format for later reference and for placement in the patient file.
The software addition to add stereotactic radiosurgery treatment planning capability to FOCUS was developed at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. The addition of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Therapy Planning capability to the system is a logical extension of the original intended use of the system. Stereotactic Radiosurgery is actually a sub-set of standard treatment planning in that it accepts the same inputs in the same formats as that for general planning. One significant, simplifying difference is that, in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Therapy, there are no treatment aids between the source and the patient. All therapy is performed using what are referred to as "open fields". A second difference is the introduction of "headframes" which, as the name implies, attach to the patients head and provide a unique patient coordinate system. The significant issue introduced here is one of coordinate transformation between the headframe and the patient diagnostic imaging data from the CT or MR machine. The system has been validated and marketed to support only the BRW headframe for CT or MR scans.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Seven categories of tests were performed to evaluate the performance of the system: 1) Transfer of CT and MR Images, 2) Verification of Coordinate Transformation Algorithm, 3) Fiducial Marker Localization Verification, 4) Verification of Accuracy of Linear and Spherical Rulers and Checking of Image Pixel Size Detection, 5) Verification of Target Points In Different Software Modules of the System, 6) Verify Alignment of Isodoses with Image Anatomy and 7) Verification of Accuracy of the Dose Calculation Algorithm. This last test was performed by verifying system outputs against calculated and measured data collected especially for this project. The Coordinate Transformation verification was performed against a current marketed device. All testing provided results which met the criteria set. The system has been judged to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices and safe and effective for clinical use in the planning of Stereotactic Radiosurgery therapy situations using the BRW headframe.

The FOCUS System supports all Linear Accelerators, has 3-D visualization capabilities and can perform both 2-D and 3-D treatment planning. Beam's Eye View (BEV) presentation is available as is a Time/MU calculator. All predicate systems, and FOCUS, use some form of the Ratio Tissue Air Ratio (RTAR) Algorithm to calculate dose. Likewise, all systems run under UNIX on a RISC-based processor workstation. The FOCUS System, unlike most of the predicate devices, has been validated only for use with the Brown-Roberts-Wells (BRW) headframe (there are at least four more on the market) and it does not have image fusion capabilities (the ability to map a MR scan onto a CT scan to obtain better imaging data of soft tissue).
Summary of Non-clinical Tests: Seven categories of tests were performed to evaluate the performance of the system: 1) Transfer of CT and MR Images, 2) Verification of Coordinate Transformation Algorithm, 3) Fiducial Marker Localization Verification, 4) Verification of Accuracy of Linear and Spherical Rulers and Checking of Image Pixel Size Detection, 5) Verification of Target Points In Different Software Modules of the System, 6) Verify Alignment of Isodoses with Image Anatomy and 7) Verification of Accuracy of the Dose Calculation Algorithm. This last test was performed by verifying system outputs against calculated and measured data collected especially for this project. The Coordinate Transformation verification was performed against a current marketed device.
Conclusions From Non-Clinical Tests: All testing provided results which met the criteria set. The system has been judged to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices and safe and effective for clinical use in the planning of Stereotactic Radiosurgery therapy situations using the BRW headframe. Normal QA of treatment planning activities, including review of the plans by a Medical Physicist and a Radiation Oncologist/Neurosurgeon prior to their use, is recommended.
Summary of Clinical Tests: Clinical testing was not performed as part of the development of this feature by the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. Clinical testing is not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence or safety and effectiveness.

Statement of Indication for Use
510(k) Number: K973936
Device Name: FOCUS Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment Planning System
Purpose: To calculate and display, both on-screen and in hard-copy, either two- or threedimensional radiation dose distributions within a patient diagnosed as having single or multiple brain lesions based on user-defined radiation treatment plan parameters.
Function: The FOCUS Radiation Treatment Planning System accepts a) patient diagnostic imaging data from CT or MR scans or from films and b) "source" dosimetry data for a linear accelerator. The system then permits the user to define a target volume to be treated based on these diagnostic-images. Knowing the prescribed dose, the user, typically a Dosimetrist or Medical Physicist, can then create multiple treatment seenarios involving the number, position(s), shape (achieved by use of treatment aids such as wedges, blocks, and ports between the source of radiation and the patient) and energy of the radiation beams. The FOCUS System then produces a display of radiation dose distribution within the patient, indicating not only dose to the target volume but to surrounding tissue and structures. The "best" plan satisfying the prescription is then selected, one which maximizes dose to the tumor volume while minimizing dose to surrounding healthy volume. The parameters of the plan are output in hard-copy format for later reference and for placement in the patient file.
The addition of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Therapy Planning capability to the system is a logical extension of the original intended use of the system. Stereotactic Radiosurgery is actually a sub-set of standard treatment planning in that it accepts the same inputs in the same formats as that for general planning. One significant difference is that, in Stereotactic Radiosurgery There are no treatment aids between the source and the patient. All therapy is performed using what are referred to as "open fields". One new item is the introduction of "headframes" which, as the name implies, attach to the patients head, enhance target immobilization, and provide a unique patient coordinate system. The significant issue introduced here is one of coordinate transformation between the headframe and the patient diagnostic imaging data from the CT or MR machine. The system has been validated and marketed to support only the Brown .-. Roberts-Wells (BRW) headframe for CT or MR scans.
One difference in delivery of treatment between Stereotactic Radiosurgery and other Treatment Planning is the number of therapy sessions required to deliver the presectbed dose. In stereotactic radiosurgery, the total prescribed dose is typically delivered in a single treatment. For therapy to target volumes in other locations of the anatomy, treatment is typically broken into multiple (20-30) fractions. While this change in therapy delivery introduces no significant change in the treatment planning system, it does increase the amount of patient risk resulting from an incorrect treatment plan. For
5
Statement of Indication for Use (continued from Page 5-1)
patients receiving fractionated therapy, checks of dose received by the patient are made weekly and any mistake in the plan or delivery may be corrected by raising or lowering the delivered dose over the remaining fractions of therapy. For patients undergoing only one session of radiation, once a mistake is made involving lesion overdose, it cannot be adjusted.
Target Population: The Stereotactic Radiosurgery system is to be used to create a treatment plan for any patient with single or multiple lesions of the brain and for whom radiation therapy has been prescribed. Patient demographics are not an issue in creating the treatment plan.
Intended Environment for Use: The System is typically used in an office setting within a hospital/clinic. It is not located in the same room as the Linear Accelerator or other source of radiation. There is no need for physical connection between the source of the radiation and the Treatment Planning System.
Claims for the device: The FOCUS Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment Planning System will provide displays, both on-screen and in hard-copy format, of the radiation dose distributions for a given beam set-up(s) defined by the treatment planner. No claims of dose calculation accuracy, accuracy for CT localization, or center of radiation versus actual center of the lesion is indicated.
Substantial Equivalence: The system is substantially equivalent to at least three currently legally marketed devices. It is a subset of these devices, having no features not already found on one or more of the systems. See Section 7 of this Premarket Notification for details of Substantial Equivalence determination.
