The description explicitly states the system uses "known and documented algorithms" and "table look-up formation," which are characteristic of traditional software and not AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, training data, or adaptive capabilities.
No.
The device is a treatment planning system used by professionals to create and review radiation treatment plans, not to directly treat patients.
No
The device is a treatment planning system used to generate dose estimates for radiation therapy, providing outputs and instructions for treatment delivery rather than diagnosing a condition.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that the RAPTOR Treatment Planning System is a "collection of software modules" and is designed to run on a "PC platform utilizing the Microsoft Windows NT® operating system." While it interacts with hardware (radiation delivery equipment, multileaf collimators), the device itself, as described, is the software system performing the planning and calculation functions.
Based on the provided text, 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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The RAPTOR® Radiation Treatment Planning System is used for planning and optimizing radiation therapy treatments based on computational models and algorithms. It processes data related to the patient's anatomy and tumor (likely from imaging, although not explicitly stated as input imaging modality), but it does not analyze biological specimens taken from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "clinical review and judgement of radiation treatment plans and dose estimates" and to "guide the physician and / or other competent health care professional in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan." This is a treatment planning and guidance system, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
The device's function and intended use fall squarely within the realm of radiation therapy planning systems, which are distinct from IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The RAPTOR® Radiation Treatment Planning System is intended to be used by radiation oncology professionals for clinical review and judgement of radiation treatment plans and dose estimates based on computation, output and displays. The goal of the system is to produce consistent results using well-documented algorithms. It will provide outputs for radiation delivery equipment including documented and released multileaf collimators [MLCs] for planning, optimization, delivery and reporting of treatments. The device provides output data in the form of displays, hardcopy prints and / or plots, set-up instructions and other control information to guide the physician and / or other competent health care professional in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan.
The RAPTOR® Treatment Planning System is used to generate computation, display, evaluation and output radiation dose estimates for clinical review and judgement prior to treating the patient. It uses well-documented algorithms to provide output data in the form of displays, hardcopy prints, plots and treatment instructions to guide the radiation oncology professional and / or physician to select the optimum treatment plan. The MLC module is used to generate plans and instructions for documented and released multileaf collimators.

Device Description
The RAPTOR Treatment Planning System is a collection of software modules that execute known and documented algorithms to produce radiation dose estimations. All data is user controlled and is a table look-up formation is presented graphically on CRT screens and hardcopy reports. Various models are available based on the specific features desired by the customer (e.q., asymmetric jaws, electron pencil beam calculations, etc.) to best meet their clinical needs. The software is designed to run on a PC platform utilizing the Microsoft Windows NT® operating system. The RAPTOR Treatment Planning System includes modules for the development of instructions and controls for multileaf collimators. It is designed to upgradable in both hardware and software features. All dates are four digit numbers so the system is year 2000 compliant.

Summary of Performance Studies
The RAPTOR® Treatment Planning System was developed and tested using the design controls set forth in the NOMOS Corporation Quality System. It has a product specification, which was used as the basis for the development of verification and validation plans, tests and acceptance criteria. A rigorous hazard analysis also was performed, which includes mitigation for each identified hazard. Design reviews were conducted at appropriate stages of development.
Validation and verification testing of the RAPTOR® Treatment Planning System demonstrate that the software is safe and effective. Test completion shows that the device performs and is equivalent to the predicate systems for those features for which this submission is being made as well as overall performance. Product release also is made in accordance with established NOMOS Corporation Quality System Procedures after all tests are completed, reviewed and meet acceptance criteria and regulatory requirements.
