Intended Use
EVTOOL software module provides the ability to compare and evaluate the radiation dose delivery to the tumor volume and surrounding organs from generated dose volume histograms and radiobiological values. It expands the DMLC IV-ERGO system, which is a combination of a radiation collimator with multiple tungsten leaves that move during delivery of radiation therapy and a computer based treatment planning and control system. The EVTOOL is intended to be used for medical procedures on patients to be prescribed and performed by a suitably trained and certified medical professional.
Device Story
EVTOOL is a software module integrated into the DMLC IV-ERGO radiation therapy planning system. It inputs stored treatment plans and patient data from the ERGO database. The software calculates and displays dose volume histograms (DVH) and organ dose statistics (mean, modal, maximum, minimum). It incorporates radiobiological models—specifically Tumor Control Probability (TCP), Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP), and Uncomplicated Tumor Control Probability (UTCP)—to assist physicians in optimizing dose prescriptions and fractionation. The output is displayed in a 4-window interface with zoom capabilities, allowing side-by-side comparison of multiple treatment plans. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncologists or medical physicists, the device does not deliver radiation directly but provides quantitative analysis to support clinical decision-making regarding the most appropriate treatment plan, ensuring effective control of the actual dose delivered to the patient.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Software module running on a Silicon Graphics workstation using the Irix operating system. Integrates with DMLC IV-ERGO radiation collimator system. Provides quantitative analysis of dose volume histograms and radiobiological models (TCP, NTCP, UTCP).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in radiation therapy planning for patients requiring evaluation of radiation dose delivery to tumor volumes and surrounding organs.
Regulatory Classification
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.

### Description d.
EVTOOL is a software module that has been designed to expand the features and functions of the DMLC IV- ERGO treatment planning software. The software runs on a silicon graphics workstation and Irix operating system.
{1}------------------------------------------------
## Premarket Notification 3D Line: EVTOOL Date : 20 October 2001
EVTOOL software is used for comparing and evaluating radiation therapy treatment plans from a quantitative and radiobiological point of view. The software displays one or more stored plans for comparison and analysis. It can display the dose volume histograms of the various plans and organ dose statistics (mean, modal, maximum and minimum dose). It allows the user to input radiobiological corrections in order to enhance the evaluation of the treatment plan. It also optimizes the dose prescription by displaying reference dose and number of treatment fractions.
EVTOOL is fully integrated into the ERGO treatment planning environment in order to easily exchange information from the patients' database. The patient information is selected and automatically loaded into the EVTOOL software. From the patient database the user can select one or multiple treatment plans to display and calculate the dose statistics, including dose volume histograms and radiobiological models. The analytical information is displayed in 4 windows with a zoom capability. These windows can display the overall plan and individual organs of interest. EVTOOL provides options for incorporating radiobiological corrections to assist the physician in determining the optimal dose prescription and fractionation based on TCP (Tumor Control Probability), NTCP (Normal Tissue Complication Probability) and UTCP (Uncomplicated Tumor Control Probability) values.
This software is a useful tool in evaluating the entire volumetric treatment plan, it is not used to directly treat the patient. It provides the physician with a tool to compare various plan versions side by side in order to determine the most appropriate treatment plan to be used with the DMLC IV equipment. The display of the treatment plans within EVTOOL provides a permanent record and effective control on the actual dose delivered to the patient.
#### Intended use e.
EVTOOL software module provides the ability to compare and evaluate the radiation dose delivery to the tumor volume and surrounding organs from generated dose volume histograms and radiobiological values. It expands the DMLC IV-ERGO system, which is a combination of a radiation collimator with multiple tungsten leaves that move during delivery of radiation therapy and a computer based treatment planning and control system.
### Summary of technological considerations f.
The EVTOOL software is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. It enhances the functionality of the defined predicate device to provide evaluation tools for radiation therapy treatment planning.
