Intended Use
The Eclipse Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS) is used to plan radiotherapy treatments for patients with malignant or benign diseases. Eclipse TPS is used to plan external beam irradiation with photon, electron and proton beams, as well as for internal irradiation (brachytherapy) treatments. In addition, the Eclipse Proton Eye algorithm is specifically indicated for planning proton treatment of neoplasms of the eye.
Device Story
Eclipse TPS is a computer-based software system used by trained medical professionals to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments. It processes patient anatomical data to plan external beam (photon, electron, proton) and brachytherapy treatments. The system incorporates the 'Dose Dynamic Arc' algorithm, which combines Arc fields (gantry rotation during beam delivery) with IMRT optimization. The system uses the Multi-Resolution Dose Calculation (mrdc) for optimization and the Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (AAA) for final dose calculation. Improved MLC (Multi-Leaf Collimator) modeling accounts for small MLC openings typical of dynamic arc fields. Clinicians use the generated plans to guide radiation delivery, aiming to optimize dose distribution to target tissues while sparing healthy structures. The device is used in clinical settings to support treatment decision-making and improve patient outcomes through precise radiation therapy planning.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Computer-based software system for radiation therapy planning. Utilizes Multi-Resolution Dose Calculation (mrdc) and Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (AAA) for dose computation. Features improved MLC modeling for small aperture openings. Supports photon, electron, and proton beam modalities. Operates as a standalone software application for clinical use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with malignant or benign diseases requiring radiotherapy, including external beam (photon, electron, proton) and internal (brachytherapy) irradiation. The Proton Eye algorithm is indicated for proton treatment planning of ocular neoplasms.
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.
