Intended Use
XPlan-2 is a stereotactic LINAC-based radiation treatment planning system. XPlan-2 localizes lesions to be treated using CT scans, and digitized angiographic film. XPlan-2 provides a stereotactic planning system for treatment of turnors at sites such as cranial, base of skull, head and neck. The conformal stereotactic radiation therapy treatments are delivered over multiple fractions.
Device Description
The XPlan-2 system is a stereotactic radiation treatment planning system. The XPlan-2 system, like the XPlan-1 system, consists of treatment planning software, stereotactic hardware and extensive verification and quality assurance (QA) procedures to ensure the proper system and patient setup and the proper radiation delivery. XPlan-2 radiation treatment plans are designed with stationary or "static" radiation beams. These beams can be shaped with a range of field shaping devices, such that the shape of the radiation beam conforms to the irregular shape of the lesion. The ability to shape the radiation beam enables the user to treat irregularly shaped lesions, maximizing the radiation dose to the lesion, while minimizing the radiation dose to the surrounding normal tissue and critical structures. This premarket notification is intended to describe those additional features or modifications that have been made to the XPlan System and the new Radionics Head and Neck Localizer that is to be used with the XPlan-2.
More Information

No
The summary describes a traditional radiation treatment planning system focused on geometric localization, beam shaping, and dose calculation, with no mention of AI/ML terms or methodologies.

No
The device is a treatment planning system that localizes lesions and designs radiation plans, but it does not directly deliver therapy or perform a therapeutic action itself. It is a tool for planning treatment.

No

Explanation: The device is a radiation treatment planning system that localizes lesions and designs treatment plans. It does not provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the XPlan-2 system "consists of treatment planning software, stereotactic hardware and extensive verification and quality assurance (QA) procedures". It also mentions a "new Radionics Head and Neck Localizer that is to be used with the XPlan-2", which is a hardware component.

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 XPlan-2 is a "stereotactic LINAC-based radiation treatment planning system." It is used to localize lesions and plan radiation therapy treatments. This is a therapeutic planning function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a "stereotactic radiation treatment planning system" and focuses on the software and hardware used for planning and delivering radiation.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a disease, condition, or state of health. It takes existing diagnostic images (CT scans, angiographic film) and uses them for treatment planning.
  • No Biological Samples: IVD devices typically involve testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.). This device uses medical images.

In summary, XPlan-2 is a medical device used for planning radiation therapy, which is a treatment modality. It does not perform in vitro diagnostic testing.
