Intended Use
The m3 is intended to assist the radiation oncologist in the delivery of radiation to welldefined target volumes while sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation. In conjunction with Elekta and GE Linacs, the m3 performs the same function as customized shadow blocks or stereotactic collimators. This standard configuration is suitable for static conformal treatments and "step and shoot IMRT". The advanced m3 Siemens Integration feature available for Siemens Linacs allows additionally to perform "dynamic arc" and automated "step and shoot IMRT" treatments with the m3. The advanced Varian integration feature available for Varian Linacs allows to perform "dynamic arc" and "dynamic IMRT" treatments with the m3.
Device Story
m3 is a therapeutic X-ray collimator featuring motorized tungsten leaves; shapes X-ray fields for radiation therapy. Operates in static or dynamic modes via leaf movement during treatment. Used in clinical radiation oncology settings; integrated with Elekta, GE, Siemens, and Varian linear accelerators. System setup controlled by LANTIS Verify and Record System with PRIMEVIEW front end; ensures correct collimator configuration relative to Linac settings. If setup is incorrect, treatment is aborted or prohibited. Benefits patients by enabling precise radiation delivery to target volumes while sparing healthy tissue and critical organs.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation procedures were performed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the m3 collimator and its integration with various linear accelerator systems.
Technological Characteristics
Therapeutic X-ray collimator; motorized tungsten leaves; dimensions/form factor not specified. Connectivity via LANTIS Verify and Record System. Energy source: linear accelerator integration. Materials: tungsten. Software-controlled leaf positioning.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring radiation therapy for well-defined target volumes, allowing for radiation delivery while sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs. Used by radiation oncologists for static conformal, step-and-shoot IMRT, dynamic arc, and dynamic IMRT treatments.
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.

## 4. Device Description
The m3 is a therapeutic X-ray Collimator. It comprises multiple motorised tungsten leafs, which are suited to shaping specific therapeutic X-ray fields, both in a static fashion as well as dynamically via leaf-movement during treatment.
The subject of this submission is the use of the m3 together with Siemens Linear Accelerators for advanced treatment modalities such as Dynamic Arc and automated Step and Shoot Treatments. The correct m3 setup is controlled by the "LANTIS" Verify and Record System with PRIMEVIEW front end. In case the m3 is not correctly set-up according to the Linac settings, treatment will be aborted or not permitted.
The verification and validation procedures have shown the safety and effectiveness of the m3 (micro-Multileaf Collimator) and the device can be utilized within its intended use.
