Intended Use

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.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the CadPlan Helios Option 6.0, an inverse planning tool for radiation therapy. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria. The document primarily focuses on describing the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device for FDA approval.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC study details, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set details) from the provided text.

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.

Intended Use:

To automatically design the beam profiles that most closely generate the desired dose distribution.

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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
