Intended Use
The UNIQUE is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated.
Device Story
The UNIQUE is a single-energy linear accelerator for stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy. It delivers radiation to lesions, tumors, and conditions throughout the body. The device utilizes a magnetron for beam generation and a clutch drive mechanism. It supports standard and RapidArc treatments, where gantry rotation speed and dose rate are modulated. The system is operated by clinical staff in a radiation therapy environment. It integrates with accessories including the RPM Respiratory Gating system, PortalVision, 4D Integrated Treatment Console, and Millennium Multi-Leaf Collimator. The device provides precision treatment delivery, enabling healthcare providers to target tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissue, potentially improving patient outcomes in oncological care.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation activities were conducted to demonstrate that the device meets acceptance criteria for safety and effectiveness. No clinical study data was required or provided.
Technological Characteristics
Single-energy linear accelerator (6 MV). Magnetron-based beam generation; clutch drive mechanism. Supports RapidArc (gantry rotation/dose rate modulation). Includes Exact Couch with IGRT couch top. Software: C-Series 8.0. Connectivity: Supports External System Gating Interface (EXGI).
Indications for Use
Indicated for stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.
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.

#### Dear Ms. Tran:
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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of
{3}------------------------------------------------
medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin 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 Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation (21 CLT Allis 101 and 5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
