Intended Use
In Radiation Therapy, it is often necessary to create irregularly shaped fields to contour to the desired shape of the treatment volume. Irregular shapes can be achieved by supplementing the shaping ability of the treatment machines collimation system with tertiary beam blocks. These Beam Blocks are used to further collimate and contour the treatment field and are often custom formed from low metling alloys containing lead and other high density metals. In order to be used, beam blocks must be supported in the path of the incident beam so that the resultant treatment field is properly defined at the patient Shadow Trays provide a simple system for holding the blocks in surface. position for treatment with pre-defined geometry.
Device Description
This device is intended to be used as a support for beam shaping or beam defining blocks in the delivery of external beam (photon) radiation therapy. This device is similar in design and construction, utilizes the identical materials, and has the same intended use and performance characteristics to the predicate devices.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical device (beam blocking trays) used to support radiation therapy blocks. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The description focuses on the device's physical properties and intended use as a support system.

No
The device is described as a support for beam shaping or defining blocks, aiding in the proper definition of the treatment field in radiation therapy. It does not directly provide therapy but rather supports components used in the delivery of radiation therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a support for beam shaping or beam defining blocks in radiation therapy, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical support for beam shaping blocks, made of materials and having a design similar to predicate devices which are also physical trays. There is no mention of software components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This includes tests for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The provided description clearly states the device is a "support for beam shaping or beam defining blocks in the delivery of external beam (photon) radiation therapy." It's a physical accessory used during a radiation treatment procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to hold beam blocks in place to shape the radiation field, which is a part of the treatment delivery process, not a diagnostic test.

The device is a component used in radiation therapy equipment, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

§ 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.
