Intended Use
Fraxion™ is intended to be used for immobilization, positioning and re-positioning during Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) in all parts of the brain and head in a Linear Accelerator environment. Further Fraxion™ is used to immobilize and position the head during image acquisition to support treatment planning. Under certain circumstances (e.g. when the patient will not tolerate an invasive frame) Fraxion™ may also be used for Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) in a Linear Accelerator environment.
Device Story
Fraxion™ is a non-invasive cranial immobilization and positioning system for stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and radiosurgery (SRS). System components include a frame, patient control unit, frontpiece with mouthpiece, vacuum cushion, and thermoplastic mask. Used in clinical settings (Linear Accelerator environment) by healthcare professionals to stabilize the patient's head during image acquisition for treatment planning and throughout the radiation delivery process. By providing precise, reproducible positioning, the device facilitates accurate targeting of radiation, potentially improving treatment outcomes while offering a non-invasive alternative for patients who cannot tolerate traditional invasive frames.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises a mechanical frame, frontpiece, mouthpiece, vacuum cushion, and thermoplastic mask. Designed for cranial immobilization in a linear accelerator environment. No electronic sensing, energy source, or software algorithms described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring head/brain immobilization, positioning, and re-positioning for Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) or Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) in a Linear Accelerator environment, including patients unable to tolerate invasive frames.
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 Mr. Wolff:
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.
