Intended Use
The GateCT-RT system is used to obtain tracking of the subject's respiratory pattern for respiratory synchronized image acquisition, and radiation therapy treatment. It can be also used, either independently or in conjunction with Vision RT's AlignRT (K052682), to monitor the patient position during the image acquisition, simulation and treatment and to disable the radiation beam automatically.
Device Story
GateCT-RT is a radiation therapy accessory using real-time 3D surface tracking to monitor patient respiratory motion and position without external markers. System consists of a camera unit connected to a PC workstation. Physician selects tracking regions on workstation; system records respiratory state. For CT acquisition (GateCT), it facilitates 4DCT reconstruction. For treatment/imaging (GateRT), it monitors respiratory motion and automatically disables radiation beam if signal exceeds user-defined gating window. Can operate with AlignRT to disable beam if patient movement exceeds tolerance. Used in clinical settings by radiation therapy staff to improve treatment accuracy and patient safety through automated beam control.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
System utilizes 3D surface tracking via camera unit connected to a PC workstation. Operates as an accessory to radiation therapy and imaging systems. Provides automated beam gating based on respiratory signal and patient position thresholds. Software-based tracking and monitoring.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing respiratory synchronized image acquisition and radiation therapy treatment requiring respiratory motion tracking and patient positioning monitoring.
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.

- 2. Name of the Device: GateCT-RT GateCT, GateRT Trade/Proprietary Name: Common or Usual Name: Respiratory Gating System Classification Name: Medical Charged-particle radiation therapy system accessory.
3. Predicate Devices: Varian RPM Respiratory Gating (K063270); Vision RT's AlignRT (K052682).
4. Description of the Device: The GateCT-RT device is an attachment to radiation therapy treatment systems, simulators and image acquisition devices used for diagnostics and radiation therapy. The GateCT-RT system senses and records the respiratory motion and respiratory state of a patient using real time 3D surface tracking of the patient without the need of any externally positioned markers. Regions to be tracked are selected remotely in a location indicated by the physician on the GateCT-RT workstation. These may be automatically detected during subsequent sessions. GateCT tracks the patient's breathing CT acquisition in order to facilitate 4DCT reconstruction. GateRT tracks respiratory motion during treatment or imaging and automatically disables the beam when the breathing signal moves outside the user defined gating window. GateCT-RT may also be employed within the monitoring mode of AlignRT to disable the beam automatically if any patient movement is detected which exceeds a user defined tolerance. The Vision RT camera unit is connected to a PC workstation and is used for surface tracking of the patient.
5. Intended Use Statement: The GateCT-RT system is used to obtain tracking of the subject's respiratory pattern for respiratory synchronized image acquisition, and radiation therapy treatment. It can be also used, either independently or in conjunction with Vision RT's AlignRT (K052682), to monitor the patient position during the image acquisition, simulation and treatment and to disable the radiation beam automatically.
6. Summary of the Technological Characteristics: The Substantial Equivalence Comparison Chart provides a comparison of the technological characteristics to those of the predicate devices. The comparison chart demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices cited in the table. The chart is located in Tab 8 of the submission.

## Dear Mr. Morton:
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 application (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 (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such 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.
Image /page/1/Picture/10 description: The image shows a logo with the text "1906-2006" at the top and "Centennial" in the middle. Below the logo, the text "Proloting and Promoting Public Health" is written in a decorative font. The logo appears to be a commemorative emblem, possibly for an organization's 100th anniversary.
