Intended Use
ROCS TPS (Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System) is intended to be used for the computation, display, evaluation and output documentation of radiation dose estimations to be submitted for independent clinical review and judgment prior to use. The device provides output data in the form of displays, hardcopy prints and/or plots to guide a physician in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan. It is intended to provide a report to be used by a competent health professional such as a radiation oncologist, medical physicist, radiation therapist or dosimetrist
Device Description
ROCS treatment planning system is a collection of software modules that execute well known and documented algorithms to produce radiation dose estimations. All data is user controlled and is in a table look-up format. Information is presented graphically on CRT screens and in hardcopy reports. Various models are available based upon the specific features desired by the customer (e.g., asymmetric jaws, electron pencil beam calculations, etc.) to best meet their clinical needs. The software is designed to run on a PC platform utilizing the Microsoft® Windows NT® operating system. ROCS treatment planning system has been designed to be upgradable in both software features and hardware. All dates are four digit numbers so the system is able to handle the year 2000.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states that it uses "well known and documented algorithms" and "table look-up format," with no mention of AI, ML, or related terms.

No
The device is a treatment planning system for radiation therapy, which computes and displays dose estimations to guide a physician in selecting a treatment plan. It does not directly provide therapy or interact with the patient for therapeutic purposes.

No
The device is described as a "Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System." Its intended use is to "guide a physician in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan" by providing "radiation dose estimations." This indicates a role in treatment planning and not in diagnosing a disease or condition.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that ROCS treatment planning system is a "collection of software modules" and is designed to run on a "PC platform utilizing the Microsoft® Windows NT® operating system." While it mentions being "upgradable in both software features and hardware," the core device as described is the software itself, performing calculations and presenting data. The hardware is a platform for the software, not an integral part of the regulated device function.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • ROCS TPS Function: The description clearly states that ROCS TPS is a Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System. Its purpose is to compute, display, and evaluate radiation dose estimations for cancer treatment. It uses software algorithms and user-controlled data to create treatment plans.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples from a patient. Its inputs are related to radiation therapy parameters and potentially patient anatomical data (though not explicitly stated as an input imaging modality).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for planning radiation therapy, not for diagnosing or monitoring a disease based on biological samples.

Therefore, ROCS TPS falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment planning, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

ROCS TPS (Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System) is intended to be used for the computation, display, evaluation and output documentation of radiation dose estimations to be submitted for independent clinical review and judgment prior to use. The goal of this system is to provide a tool that will provide consistent results using well documented algorithms. This system does not provide direct control over any treatment delivery device or system in any form. The device only provides output data in the form of displays, hardcopy prints and/or plots to guide a physician in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan. It is intended to provide a report to be used by a competent health professional such as a radiation oncologist, medical physicist, radiation therapist or dosimetrist.
