The IBA Proton Therapy System (PTS) is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The PTS may include a fixed small beam treatment room dedicated to the treatment with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation localized to the head and neck.
IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 (PTS) is a proton beam irradiation system. The device is designed to: (1) create and deliver the proton beam to the patient treatment location: (2) produce a transverse and longitudinal dose distribution appropriate for the patient's treatment; and (3) deliver the designated dose to the patient's treatment site.
The PTS has three primary components: (1) the beam management equipment, which includes a cyclotron, transport and delivery system to direct the proton beam to the patient's treatment location; (2) the position management equipment that allows bringing the patient and the proton beam in the adequate position for treatment and verifying the patient position; and (3) the treatment control system which controls the parameters of the proton beam treatment.
The scope of the current 510(k) premarket notification is to add a new version of the handpendant, which uses wireless and touch screen technologies to move equipment in the treatment room to the cleared IBA Proteus 235.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235" with the addition of a wireless hand-pendant system. The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device (K152224).

The PTS is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The PTS may include a fixed small beam treatment room dedicated to the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation localized to the head and neck.
The device corresponds to the previously cleared IBA proton therapy system (K101508) with the addition of a compact Gantry Beam line designed to produce and deliver a proton beam from various directions in a range of 220° for the treatment of patients.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a modification to the IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235, specifically the introduction of a Compact Gantry Beam Line (CGBL). This document is primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than a comprehensive study report with detailed acceptance criteria and performance data from clinical trials.
Therefore, many of the requested sections about specific study methodologies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, and comparative effectiveness (MRMC) cannot be fully addressed from the provided text. The document focuses on comparing technological characteristics and functionality to establish equivalence.
Here's an attempt to extract the information based on the provided text, with significant limitations due to the nature of the document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document presents a comparison of the modified device (Compact Gantry Beam Line) against the predicate device (360° Gantry Beam Line) for various characteristics. In the context of a 510(k), the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the predicate device's performance, meaning the new device must meet or be substantially equivalent to these values.
| Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (from 360° Gantry Beam Line) | Reported Device Performance (Compact Gantry Beam Line) |
|---|---|---|
| Angular position range | 360° | 220° |
| Isocenter accuracy (mechanical sphere of confusion radius) | 1 mm | 1 mm |
| Maximum rotation speed | 1 rpm | 1 rpm |
| Angle to get max speed | ≤30° | ≤30° |
| Maximum braking angle | 5° | 3° |
| Mechanical Angular repeatability | 0.25° | 0.25° |
| Brakes | Fail Safe | Same (Fail Safe) |
| Control for treatment mode | Multiple Access Point | Same (Multiple Access Point) |
| Motion modes | Goto, Jog | Goto, Jog, Trajectory |
| Treatment volume brought at isocenter | 100 cm X 50 cm X 40 cm | 100 cm X 50 cm X 40 cm |
| Collision prevention | By PPS load cell & proximity detection algorithm | By PPS load cell, proximity detection algorithm and sensors |
| Beam Range in Patient (Tissue depth) | Pencil Beam Scanning: 0.5 to 32 cm | Pencil Beam Scanning: 0.5 to 32 cm |
| Field size | 30 cm x 40 cm | 24 cm x 20 cm |
| Beam Distal Fall Off | ≤0.25 g/cm² above the physical limit | Same |
| Spot Size | ≤ 15 mm on the range of energies | Same |
| Spot Position accuracy | ≤ 15 % of beam sigma or < to 1.5 mm | Same |
| Effective SAD | ≥ 2m | Same |
| Irradiation time | ≤2 minutes for delivering 2Gy to 1L volume (10 x 10 x 10 cm³) | Same |
Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria:
The document states that the "Risk management approach that has been applied for the development of the Compact Gantry Beam Line is described in MID 38870. As described in this document, Risk Analyzes have been performed to identify possible risks associated with the Compact Gantry Beam Line and define appropriate risk mitigations. The main mitigation principles are already applied in the existing beam lines 360°."
It also asserts that "the modified product does not induce changes nor any new limitations for clinical use (and therefore all existing clinical evidence remains valid)."
And concludes: "The new Compact Gantry fulfills the same primary functions as the 360° Gantry... It allows reaching the same clinical performances."
This suggests that the "study" proving the device meets the criteria is primarily an engineering and risk analysis comparison against an existing, cleared device, demonstrating that the changes do not negatively impact performance or safety in the context of its intended use. There is no mention of a
new clinical study with patient data for this 510(k) submission.
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. The document does not describe a clinical test set with patient data for this 510(k) submission. The comparison is based on technical specifications and engineering assessments.
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. The document does not describe a test set requiring expert-established ground truth. The technical specifications are objectively measurable.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. There is no test set in the clinical sense mentioned in the document.
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. This device is a radiation therapy system, not an AI or imaging diagnostic aid that would involve human readers. The document details a physical component modification to an existing therapeutic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable for a clinical ground truth. The "ground truth" in this context refers to the established technical and functional performance of the predicate device (360° Gantry Beam Line) against which the modified Compact Gantry Beam Line is compared through engineering analysis and risk assessment.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning, therefore, there is no training set mentioned or implied.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. As there is no training set for machine learning.

I2C is used with a charged particle or photon radiation therapy system for localization of the patient position with respect to the therapy equipment and to provide correction feedback to the radiation therapy device.
For clinical use, l2C must be integrated into a radiation therapy system. I2C will interact with components of the radiation therapy center. I2C supports the acquisition of 2D, 2D stereoscopic and 3D images using 2D detectors. I2C will be used by the clinical therapist to verify by imaging that the treatment target position received from the treatment control applicative laver is 'valid', i.e. that it brings the center of the treatment target volume at the isocenter of the therapy equipment with required accuracy. If it is not, InC will propose a correction shift - or correction vector - that will be exported to the radiation therapy system.
Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study information for the I2C device:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance / Technological Specification | Acceptance Criteria (Predicate Devices) | Reported Device Performance (I2C) |
|---|---|---|
| Generator operating range (radiographic) | 40-150 kVp | 40-150 kVp |
| Generator operating range (CBCT) | 60-140 kVp (OBI) | 40-125 kVp |
| Flat panel pixel size | 127 µm (Verisuite) / 194 µm (OBI) | 148 µm |
| Flat panel pixel matrix | 3200x3200 pixels (Verisuite) / 3200x2304 pixels (OBI) | > 2880x2880 pixels |
| CBCT scale & distance accuracy | 1% (OBI) | 1% |
| CBCT spatial resolution | 4-7 lp/cm (OBI) | At least 5 lp/cm |
| CBCT low contrast resolution | 15mm@1% (OBI) | 15mm@1% |
| CBCT numbers accuracy | +/- 40 HU (OBI) | +/- 40 HU |
| CBCT Uniformity | +/- 40 HU (OBI) | +/- 40 HU |
| Achievable matching accuracy | < 1 mm (Verisuite) / 1-2 mm (ExacTrac) | < 1 mm |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify a distinct "test set" sample size in the traditional sense. Instead, it describes various verification and validation activities:
- Simulated Clinical Environment: The X-Ray imaging equipment was installed on a test bench with a phantom to represent different configuration setups and simulate gantry rotation.
- Communication Testing: A second test environment was used to verify communication with different third-party software configurations (Elekta Mosaiq, Varian Aria).
- Additional Performance Tests: Conducted on a stand-alone system using:
- Appropriate datasets collected from simulated treatments.
- Radiographs of phantoms acquired in IBA treatment centers.
- Anonymized patient data provided by IBA treatment centers.
- User Evaluation: Intermediate releases were distributed to a group of "a-users" (reference users in proton therapy) to assess usability.
The data provenance for the additional performance tests includes:
- Simulated treatments.
- Phantom data acquired in IBA treatment centers.
- Anonymized patient data (from IBA treatment centers).
The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the patient data, but "IBA treatment centers" suggests it likely comes from facilities where IBA technology is used. The data appears to be retrospective in nature for these tests, as it mentions "anonymised patient data provided by IBA treatment centers."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set. The validation primarily relies on performance metrics derived from physical phantoms, simulated scenarios, and anonymized patient data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
No specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is mentioned for the test set. The evaluation seems to be based on direct measurement of performance metrics against predefined technological specifications and comparison to predicate devices, rather than a consensus-based expert review for individual cases.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned. The document focuses on the technical performance of the device itself and its equivalence to predicate devices, not on the improvement of human reader performance with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Yes, standalone performance tests were done. The document states: "Third, additional performance tests were done on a stand-alone system with appropriate datasets collected from simulated treatments and radiographs of phantom acquired in IBA treatment centres, and from anonymised patient data provided by IBA treatment centers."
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for these non-clinical tests appears to be primarily:
- Physical measurements/known values from phantoms: For accuracy, resolution, contrast, and uniformity tests.
- Simulated treatment parameters: For evaluating the device's ability to process and generate correction vectors in controlled scenarios.
- Anonymized patient data: Used as input for the standalone system, likely comparing its output (e.g., calculated shifts) against expected or clinically established values, though the exact method of ground truth for patient data isn't detailed.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not specify a separate "training set" or its sample size. The focus is on the verification and validation of the developed system, suggesting that the algorithm's training (if any involving machine learning) was either done prior to these V&V activities or is not detailed in this summary.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no training set is explicitly mentioned or detailed, the method for establishing its ground truth is not provided in this document.

The PTS is a medical device designed to product and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation.
The Proteus 235 system with Pencil Beam Scanning (PPBS) is an external beam irradiation system which provides a therapeutic proton beam for clinical treatment. It is designed to deliver a proton beam to the designated patient treatment site with the assigned dose distribution. The equipment required to perform this work is comprised of the main components. The Beam Delivery System (BDS) has the primary responsibility to ensure that the prescribed beam parameters are properly delivered. The Beam Supply System (BSS) generates the proton beam. The pencil beam scanning is defined as the act of moving a charged particle beam or changing one or more of the properties of that beam (e.g. Intensity (e.g. # protons/second), size (e.g. 1 sigma), position etc.). The goal of this beam delivery is to deliver the appropriate proton fluence according to a prescription. The prescription provides a map of the fluence that is necessary to deliver at each location. The beam is moved to each location on the target and the appropriate fluence is deposited at each location.
This document, K082416, is a 510(k) summary for the IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235. It describes modifications to an existing device, focusing on the addition of a Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) capability.
