The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts, and the device description is for a physical beam-shaping block.
No
Explanation: The device is used to shape an electron beam for dose uniformity, which is a component of radiation therapy delivery, but the device itself does not directly treat a patient or perform a therapeutic function. It is an accessory to a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as a "Block, Beam-Shaping, Radiation system" intended "to help provide dose uniformity for electron beam profile." This function is related to the delivery of radiation, not the diagnosis of a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Block, Beam-Shaping, Radiation system," which implies a physical hardware component used in radiation therapy. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "help provide dose uniformity for electron beam profile." This describes a function related to radiation therapy equipment, specifically shaping the radiation beam.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "Block, Beam-Shaping, Radiation system." This further reinforces its role in radiation therapy.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples in vitro (outside the body). This device's function is related to the delivery of radiation to the body.

Re: K981992 Electron Wedge MT-EW-1000 Dated: September 22, 1998 Received: September 24, 1998 Regulatory class: II 21 CFR 892.5710/Procode: 90 IXI
Dear Mr. Riibe:
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 legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been redassified 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 (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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (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 requlatory 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 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) 594-4613. 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 requiried, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notfication"(21 CFR 807.97).
