Intended Use

The Varian Eclipse device is a treatment planning system used for diagnostic image analysis, contouring & segmentation, geometrical planning, photon and electron dose calculation and plan review.

Device Story

Eclipse is a computer-based radiation therapy treatment planning system. It ingests diagnostic images (CT/MRI) via DICOM, film scanners, or digitizers. Clinicians use the system for image analysis, contouring, segmentation, and geometrical planning. The system calculates photon and electron dose distributions using pencil beam convolution and Monte Carlo models. It supports beam modifiers, multileaf collimators, and intensity modulation. Outputs include treatment plans, dose volume histograms, and digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) for verification. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncologists and medical physicists to design and review treatment plans. The system integrates with the Varis Vision database to manage the therapy process. By providing precise dose calculations and visualization, it assists in optimizing radiation delivery to target volumes while sparing healthy tissue, potentially improving patient outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Computer-based planning system; supports photon (1-50MV) and electron (1-50MeV) energies. Algorithms include Single Pencil Beam Convolution and Macro Monte Carlo for electrons. Connectivity via Ethernet (DICOM, RT objects). Visualization supports 2D/3D displays, CT/MRI registration, and dose volume histograms. Hardware includes graphics display, plotter, film scanner, and digitizer.

Indications for Use

Indicated for planning photon and electron radiation therapy treatments using linear accelerators or similar devices with X-ray energies from 1-50MV, Cobalt-60, and electron energies from 1-50MeV. Supports 3D radiotherapy planning for combined modality, coplanar/non-coplanar fields, static/ARC fields, beam modifiers, and intensity modulators.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

In the original letter the product code was stated as LNH and MUJ, it should have been just MUJ. This error has been corrected in our files. We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent for the indications for use stated in the enclosure to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 {7}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Tran CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4654.
