    SagiPlan is a Brachytherapy Treatment Planning System used by medical professionals.

    SagiPlan is used for the creation of treatment plans for remote afterloader based HDR brachytherapy.

    SagiPlan will calculate a proposed treatment course based on imported clinical images and other user entered data. SagiPlan also supports the evaluation of clinical images in calculating the local and global doses to organs at risk and target volumes. SagiPlan especially supports the SagiNova Brachytherapy Remote Controlled Afterloading Device from Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG GmbH.

    Device Description

    SagiPlan is a software package which runs on a Windows - based PC and is used by medical professionals to create a radiation therapy plan based on imported medical images and the input manually entered by the operator.

    The software offers tools to enhance imported images and offers contouring of the planned target volume and organs at risk. The isotopes used in the calculations match those which are normally used in High Dose Rate (HDR) remote afterloaders.

    The main use of SagiPlan is to calculate the required dwell times at the predetermined dwell positions in a uniform way so that the Planning Target Volume (PTV) is treated with the prescribed dose while sparing the Organs At Risk (OAR).

    SaqiPlan can reconstruct one or more applicators.

    Based on the contoured target volume and the prescription dose. SagiPlan will calculate the optimal dose distribution for the tumor volume. Evaluation tools are available to qualify the proposed treatment. The therapy planning is then transferred from the SagiPlan software to the brachytherapy afterloader radiation device.

    The SagiPlan software is intended to be used with the SagiNova and the MultiSource Brachytherapy Remote Controlled Afterloading Devices from Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG GmbH.

    The SagiPlan System comprises subjoined listed subsystems:

    • . Personal Computer to execute the SagiPlan software.
    • . Monitor to visualise the treatment planning process.
    • . Keyboard to enter treatment data.
    • . Mouse to select objects on the screen

    The PC is used to execute the SagiPlan software and runs under Windows 7. The hard disk stores patient data and the built in DVD-RW is used for making backup of the Patient Data. The PC can be connected to the hospital network to import Patient Image Data.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the SagiPlan device.

    It's important to note that the provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed clinical study report with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics for a novel technology. Therefore, many of the requested details about specific performance outcomes and detailed study methodologies are not present in this document.


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or a detailed "reported device performance" table in the way one might expect for a new algorithmic device with specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy). Instead, the substantial equivalence argument relies on the device having the same technological characteristics and same intended use as a legally marketed predicate device.

    Table 1: Absence of Explicit Quantitative Acceptance Criteria and Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Not explicitly stated as quantitative metrics (e.g., sensitivity, accuracy thresholds). The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device with established performance.Not explicitly stated as quantitative outcomes (e.g., "achieved X% accuracy"). The document asserts that the device has the same technological characteristics and intended use as the predicate, implying similar performance.

    Study Information (Based on Available Text)

    Given the nature of a 510(k) summary for a brachytherapy treatment planning system, the "study" described is primarily a comparison of technological characteristics and intended use against a predicate device, rather than a clinical trial or performance study against a ground truth.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Not Applicable / Not Provided: The document does not describe a "test set" in the context of evaluating an AI or algorithmic performance against real-world data. The evaluation is a comparison of design and intended function.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    • Not Applicable / Not Provided: There is no mention of experts establishing a ground truth for an evaluation dataset.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    • Not Applicable / Not Provided: No adjudication method is mentioned as there's no described test set or expert evaluation.

    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    • No: This document does not describe an MRMC study. The SagiPlan is a treatment planning system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers in the traditional sense of an MRMC study.

    6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    • Kind of, but not a "performance study" in the modern sense: The "study" here is a technical comparison by the manufacturer to demonstrate that the SagiPlan software (algorithm) functions in a manner substantially equivalent to the predicate device. This isn't a direct standalone performance validation against a ground truth dataset, but rather an assertion of functional equivalence. The software itself, without human input, calculates treatment plans based on user-entered data and images.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    • Not Applicable / Not Provided: No explicit "ground truth" for a performance evaluation is mentioned. The "truth" in this context is implicitly the established and accepted functionality and outputs of the legally marketed predicate device, HDRplus. The SagiPlan is deemed "substantially equivalent" if its characteristics align with this predicate.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable / Not Provided: The document does not describe an AI/ML model that undergoes a "training" phase with a dataset. It describes a software package that performs calculations.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    • Not Applicable / Not Provided: As there's no described training set, there's no ground truth establishment for it.

    Summary of the "Study" from the Document:

    The "study" described is entirely focused on a Substantial Equivalence (SE) determination under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. For the SagiPlan device, this involves:

    • Identification of a Predicate Device: HDRplus (K123263) from the same manufacturer.
    • Comparison of Intended Use: SagiPlan and HDRplus have the "same intended use" (creation of treatment plans for remote afterloader based HDR brachytherapy).
    • Comparison of Technological Characteristics: The document states SagiPlan has the "same technological characteristics" as the predicate, relying on a computer system, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and optionally a film scanner or frame grabber, running on Windows. It also states the differences "do not concern the basic principle of operation nor does it adversely affect the safety or effectiveness of the device."

    Essentially, the "study" is a regulatory comparison showing that the design and stated function of SagiPlan are sufficiently similar to an already cleared device, implying that its performance and safety are also similar, without requiring new clinical performance data.

    Intended Use

    SagiNova® is a family of Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG HDR afterloading systems that are intended to apply brachytherapy treatment to specific body sites (interstitial, intracavitary, intraluminal, and intra-operative or skin surface) with a remote controlled radioactive source. The systems are intended to be used by medical professionals trained in radiation oncology.

    Device Description

    The SagiNova "HDR afterloading systems are computer controlled medical devices that provide high dose rate brachytherapy treatment by sending a radioactive source into an anatomical site, through an applicator, to deliver a physician prescribed dose.

    The SagiNova HDR afterloading system includes the following models:

    SagiNova®: Safe shielding suitable for a Co-60 or Ir-192 Source, Contains 25 channels
    SagiNova® S: Safe shielding suitable for a Co-60 or Ir-192 Source, Contains 5 channels
    SagiNova® Ir: Safe shielding suitable for a Ir 192 Source, Contains 25 channels
    SagiNova® Ir-S: Safe shielding suitable for a Ir 192 Source, Contains 5 channels

    These afterloading systems include the same treatment unit, applicators, and accessories. They differ in the type of radioactive source that can be accommodated within the shielded safe of the treatment unit and the number of allowed treatment channels.

    • The SagiNova and SagiNova Sare capable of accommodating a Co-60 or Ir-192 radioactive . source due to the tungsten and lead safe that is incorporated within the treatment unit. These sources (Co-60 and Ir-192) are nearly identical in construction and clinical performance but differ in half life (Co-60 = 1953.2 days, Ir-192=73.4 days) and maximum activity (Co-60 = 2.2 Ci, Ir-192=13Ci).
    • 0 The SagiNova Ir and SagiNova Ir-S can only accommodate an Ir-192, 13 Ci radioactive source within the lead safe that is incorporated in the treatment unit.

    The number of treatment channels does not interfere with the performance of the device or the size of the implant that can be treated, but strictly limits the number of channels that can be connected at one time. This difference was designed to provide the user with a system that meets their specific clinical requirements. For standard HDR brachytherapy, e.g. GYN treatment, the 5 channel systems (SagiNova S and SagiNova Ir-S) are sufficient. While clinics that routinely perform more complex HDR brachytherapy implants, e.g. interstitial treatment, the 25 channel systems (SagiNova "Ir) are required.

    The applicators and accessories are interchangeable between all SagiNova "models and are based on clinically accepted designs required for HDR remote afterloading brachytherapy treatment. The range of applicators includes:

    • Intracavitary GYN applicators for the treatment of the vagina, cervix and endometrium including o tandem and ovoid, ring applicators and vaginal cylinders.
    • . Interstitial applicators for the treatment of breast, prostate, and soft tissue including templates, needles and flexible catheters.
    • 0 Intraluminal applicators for the treatment of esophagus, lung, nasopharynx including molds, catheters and bougie tubes
    • o Intraoperative applicators for the treatment of tumor beds include needles, catheters, and molds
    • 0 Surface applicators for the treatment of skin surface and mucosa including flexible molds.

    The applicators are available for different imaging modalities including CT/MR and X-ray imaging. The applicators are securely connected to the SagiNova with specially designed transfer tubes or connectors. The transfer tube designs are based on the type of applicator to be connected to the treatment unit, e.g. "Easy Click" transfer tubes for plastic needles and catheters, Transfer Tubes for GYN applicators and metal needles and connectors for universal applicators.

    The different components of the SagiNova HDR remote afterloading system work together to provide safe and effective HDR brachytherapy treatment to physician prescribed treatment areas.

    Intended Use

    IsoSeed I25.S17plus with apparent activities from 0.189 to 1.045 mCi are indicated for permanent interstitial implantation of selected localized tumors which are of low to moderate radiosensitivity. They may be used either as primary treatment (such as for prostate cancer or unresectable turnors) or for treatment of residual disease after excision of the primary tumor. Seeds in this apparent activity range may be used to treat superficial, intraabdominal, and intrathoracic tumors. Tumors of the head, neck, lung, pancreas, and prostate (early stages) are commonly treated.

    IsoSeed I25.S17plus with total apparent activities greater than 1.045 mCi are indicated for interstitial treatment of tumors which have the following characteristics: unresectable, localized, and moderate radiosensitivity. These seeds may be used for selected radiation as temporary implants. IsoSeed 125.S17plus are indicated to treat residual tumors concurrent with or at the completion of other treatment modalities, such as external beam radiation therapy or chemotherapy. In addition, recurrent tumors may be implanted with IsoSeed I25.S17plus.

    Device Description

    IsoSeed I25.S17plus is a radioactive brachytherapy source intended for permanent as well as temporary implantation. IsoSeed 125.S17plus is a cylindrical sealed source containing radioactive lodine-125. The source is 4.5 mm long and 0.8 mm in diameter. The outer capsule of the source is composed of titanium according to ASTM F67. The radioactive iodine 1-125 is deposited as silver iodide (Agl) on the surface of a silver bar. The silver bar also serves as an X-ray marker.

    lodine-125 has a half-life of 59.41 days. It decays with 100% to Te-125 as a result of electron capture by the radiation of X-rays and y-radiation in the energy range up to 35 keV. The most commonly used activities used for implants are up to 1.045 mCi. Other source strengths for temporary applications are available up to 25 mCi.

    IsoSeed I25.S17plus is delivered non-sterile and must be steam sterilized by the user. The device is intended for single use, unless it is used as temporary implant without direct tissue contact.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called HDRplus, a Brachytherapy Treatment Planning System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria with quantifiable performance metrics.

    Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, reported performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment for specific performance metrics is not available in the provided text.

    The document discusses the device's intended use, technological characteristics, and comparison to a predicate device, concluding that it is substantially equivalent. However, it does not detail a study designed to explicitly test and report on acceptance criteria for device accuracy or clinical performance.

    Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the provided text:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    • Not Available. The document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria or specific, quantifiable performance metrics for the HDRplus treatment planning system. The focus is on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, implying that its performance is expected to be comparable, but no direct performance data or acceptance targets are listed.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Not Available. The document does not mention any specific test sets, sample sizes, or data provenance from a study evaluating the HDRplus system against acceptance criteria.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    • Not Available. Since no specific test set or ground truth establishment process is described for performance evaluation, information about experts is not provided.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    • Not Available. No adjudication method is mentioned as there is no description of a formal test set evaluation process.

    5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    • Not Applicable / Not Available. The HDRplus is a treatment planning system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers in the traditional sense of an MRMC study. It aids in calculating optimal dose distribution. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not described or relevant for this type of device based on the provided information.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    • Partially Applicable / Not Explicitly Detailed as a "Study": The device, HDRplus, is a software package that "calculates a proposed treatment course" and "calculates the optimal dose distribution." This implies a "standalone" algorithmic function. However, the document does not present this as a separate "study" with specific performance metrics and acceptance criteria for "algorithm-only performance." It's integrated into the description of the device's function. The system is intended to be used by "medical professionals," indicating human oversight and input.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    • Not Available. No specific ground truth type is mentioned for validating the device's performance against acceptance criteria. The calculations performed by the device are based on "imported clinical images and other user entered data," and it "evaluates clinical images in calculating the local and global doses." The accuracy of these calculations would likely be verified against established physics models and clinical standards, but the document does not detail how this was done for a formal "ground truth" study.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable / Not Available. The HDRplus device is described as a software package for calculating radiation therapy plans. There is no mention of machine learning or AI models that would require a "training set" in the context of deep learning. It's a deterministic calculation system based on physics models and user input.
