Intended Use
ROCS ULTRASEED™ (Prostate Ultrasound-guided Brachytherapy Planning System) is intended to be used for the computation, display, evaluation and output documentation of radiation dose estimations for prostate ultrasound-guided brachytherapy to be submitted for independent clinical review and judgment. 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 or indirect 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 and for documenting the actual implant. 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 Ultraseed is software that executes well known and documented algorithms to produce radiation dose estimations for prostate ultrasound-guided brachytherapy. All data is user controlled and is in a table look-up format. Information is presented graphically on CRT screens and in hardcopy reports. The software is designed to run on a PC platform utilizing the Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. All dates are four digit numbers so the system is able to handle the year 2000.
More Information

No
The device description explicitly states it "executes well known and documented algorithms" and that "All data is user controlled and is in a table look-up format," which are not characteristic of AI/ML systems. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test sets.

No
Explanation: The device is a planning system for brachytherapy that calculates and displays radiation dose estimations. It does not directly provide therapy or control any treatment delivery device; instead, it provides data to guide a physician in selecting a treatment plan.

No

Explanation: While the device processes medical data (ultrasound images) and aids in treatment planning, its primary function is to compute and display radiation dose estimations. It does not provide a diagnosis or identify a disease state, but rather supports the planning of a treatment once a diagnosis has been made.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that ROCS Ultraseed is software that runs on a PC platform. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components being part of the device itself.

Based on the provided information, the ROCS ULTRASEED™ (Prostate Ultrasound-guided Brachytherapy Planning System) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • ROCS ULTRASEED™ Function: The description clearly states that ROCS ULTRASEED™ is a software system used for planning and calculating radiation dose estimations for prostate brachytherapy based on ultrasound images. It processes imaging data and user input to generate treatment plans and documentation.
  • No Sample Analysis: The system does not analyze biological samples from the patient. Its input is imaging data and user-defined parameters.

Therefore, ROCS ULTRASEED™ falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a treatment planning system, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
