No
The description focuses on "inverse planning" and "algorithms" for calculating optimal field intensities based on specified constraints, which are standard computational techniques in radiation therapy planning and do not inherently indicate the use of AI or ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets.
No.
The device is a treatment planning system used to compute optimal field intensities and create treatment plans for radiation therapy, not a device that directly administers therapy.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a planning tool for radiation therapy treatments, and not for diagnosing medical conditions. It computes dose distributions and intensity profiles, which are part of treatment planning, not diagnosis.
Yes
The device description focuses entirely on the software's functionality for inverse planning in radiation therapy. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself. While it interacts with linear accelerators and MLCs, these are external devices used in the treatment delivery, not components of the CadPlan Helios device as described.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that CadPlan is used for planning radiation therapy treatments. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details how the software helps in computing and delivering radiation doses to achieve a desired dose distribution within the patient's body. This is directly related to treatment, not diagnosis.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detect diseases, or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. CadPlan's function falls squarely within the realm of treatment planning and delivery, which is distinct from in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
To automatically design the beam profiles that most closely generate the desired dose distribution.
CadPlan is used to plan radiation therapy treatments employing linear accelerators and other similar teletherapy devices and x-ray energies from 4 to 50 MV, as well as Cobalt-60, and electron energies from 4 to 50 MeV, and to plan brachytherapy treatments.

Device Description
CadPlan Helios is an inverse planning tool for creating highly conformal plan using intensitymodulated fields. Inverse planning refers to the process of computing the optimum field intensities for the required numbers of beams to achieve the desired dose of distribution with specified complaints. It allows for creation of in-field intensity profiles that produce the desired dose distribution as precisely as possible.
Helios computes the in-field intensities on the basis of specified clinical constraints for the desired dose distribution inside target volumes and critical organs. The calculated intensity profiles are then converted to a pattern of dynamic Multi-Leaf Collimator (MLC) motions. The combination of modulated dose delivery and dynamic MLC motion allows dose to be conformed precisely to anatomical structures. Helios implements the inverse planning algorithm and support of dynamic MLC for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy.

§ 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 Ms. Nash:
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). 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 (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 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 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.
