Intended Use
AccuSoft-XL is to be used for the computation, display, evaluation and output of radiation dose estimations to be submitted for independent clinical review and judgment prior to use in radiation therapy.
Device Story
AccuSoft-XL is a radiation treatment planning system (RTPS) software suite. It ingests medical images (CT, MRI, PET) in DICOM format. The system performs image fusion, target delineation, and beam planning. It supports various treatment modes: Conformal, Blocks and Wedges, Cones, and IMRT (including IMAT, DIMRT, and Step-and-Shoot). The software calculates beam radiation dose distributions to maximize dose to lesions while sparing surrounding tissues. It generates configuration parameters for Linacs and proprietary Cone Changer/MMLC devices. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncology staff; output is reviewed by clinicians for final treatment planning decisions. Benefits include precise beam shaping and optimized dose delivery to irregular lesions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and validation of software modules and algorithmic performance.
Technological Characteristics
Radiation treatment planning software. Operates on standard computing hardware. Supports DICOM image integration. Features include image fusion, beam planning, and dose calculation algorithms. Complies with IEC 60601-1-4 for programmable electrical medical systems. Software-based; no specific hardware materials or sterilization requirements.
Indications for Use
Indicated for radiation treatment planning, including computation, display, and evaluation of radiation dose estimations for patients undergoing radiation therapy, including Conformal, Blocks and Wedges, Cones, and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).
Regulatory Classification
Identification

# Performance Standards:
No performance standards have been established for such device under Section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
However, AccuSoft-XL complies with the following voluntary standards:
- . Guidance for FDA Reviewers and Industry - Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices; May 11, 2005.
- IEC 60601-1-4 Consol. Ed. 1.1 Medical Electrical Equipment -. Part 1-4: General Requirements for Safety - Collateral Standard: Programmable Electrical Medical Systems (1996) + A1 (1999).
- Guidance for Industry, FDA Reviewers and Compliance on Off-The-. Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices; September 9, 1999.
# Intended Use:
AccuSoft-XL is to be used for the computation, display, evaluation and output of radiation dose estimations to be submitted for independent clinical review and judgment prior to use in radiation therapy.
# Device Description:
AccuSoft-XL is a radiation treatment planning system (RTPS), consisting of a collection of software modules that execute algorithms to produce estimates of beam radiation dose distribution in body tissues. It includes the image, delineation and beam planning techniques.
AccuSoft-XL is an upgraded version of the Company's proprietary AccuSoft v3.14. It is designed to operate with Cones, Blocks and Wedges, as well as with a Micro-Multi-Leaf Collimator (MMLC), such that the shape of the radiation beam conforms to the irregular, shape of the lesion. The ability to shape the radiation beam enables maximization of the radiation dose to the lesion, while minimizing the radiation dose to the surrounding normal tissue and critical structures.
{2}------------------------------------------------
AccuSoft-XL is used for computation, display, evaluation, and output of dose estimations, including those for several modes of treatment, such as Conformal, Blocks and Wedges, Cones and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). There are several IMRT treatment modes: (1) Intensity Modulated Arc Therapy (IMAT) – in which an irradiating Linac rotates while leaves form a sequence of apertures (arcs), (2) Dynamic Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (DIMRT) – in which irradiating Linac is stationary while leaves form a sequence of apertures, as well as (3) Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (also called Step-and-Shoot), during which apertures are formed prior to irradiation
The Linac and Cones / MMLC configuration parameters shall be written to a file to be sent to both the Linac and the Company's proprietary Cone Changer / MMLC devices.
In the AccuFusion module, AccuSoft-XL combines two different types of axial images. This enables to enhance the display of various materials or tissues and to perform target delineation on fused images. Thus, CT images and Secondary Images (CT, MRI, PET, etc.) in DIOOM format from the same patient can be combined, resulting in an improved single image.
# Substantial Equivalence:
AccuSoft-XL is essentially similar to AccuSoft v3.14 predicate device. It incorporates additional features, such as Fusion of axial images, Treatment Plan for Blocks and Wedges, and Cones, featured in the predicate device Odyssey.
Based on validations and performance testing results, Direx Systems Corp. believes that AccuSoft-XL is substantially equivalent to the above predicate devices without raising new safety and/or effective uss issues.
