Indications for Use
The Agility multileaf collimator is indicated for use when additional flexibility is required in conforming the radiation beam to the anatomy to be exposed. The associated Integrity R3.1 software is the interface and control software for the Elekta medical digital linear accelerator and is intended to assist a licensed practitioner in the delivery of radiation to defined target volumes (e.g. lesions, arterio-venous malformations, malignant and benign tumors), whilst sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation. Both High Dose Rate Mode and flattened beams are intended to be used for single or multiple fractions, delivered as static and/or dynamic, in gated or un-gated deliveries, in all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated. The use of the Aglity multileaf collimator in conjunction with an Elekta digital linear accelerator may be helpful in the delivery of radiation for treatment that includes but is not limited to malignant and benign brain tumors, brain metastases, spine lesions treated using SRS, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, lung, breast, pancreatic, hepatic malignancies treated using SBRT, prostate, and bone metastases.
Device Story
Agility multileaf collimator (MLC) and Integrity R3.1 control software for Elekta digital linear accelerators (linacs). System shapes radiation beams to target volumes (lesions, tumors, AVMs) while sparing healthy tissue. Features High Dose Rate (HDR) mode via modified beam filtration and Response gating interface for external device synchronization. Operated by clinicians in radiation oncology departments. Gating interface allows automatic beam suspension based on external signals (e.g., respiratory gating). System supports static, dynamic, and VMAT delivery. Output is controlled radiation beam; assists practitioners in precise dose delivery for SRS/SBRT and conventional radiotherapy. Benefits include improved beam conformity and flexibility in treatment planning.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. System-level verification and validation performed under clinically representative conditions by qualified personnel. Regression testing verified integrity of changes. Compliance testing conducted against voluntary consensus standards including IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-1, IEC 62366, and ISO 14971. No clinical trial data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Multileaf collimator beam-limiting device; Integrity R3.1 control software; High Dose Rate (HDR) mode (unflattened beams); Response gating interface. Connectivity: external gating device integration. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-1, IEC 62366, ISO 14971. Transmission: <0.375% average, <0.5% peak. Leakage: <0.2% max patient plane. Latency: <40 ms for gating signal.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring radiation therapy for malignant and benign tumors, including brain tumors, brain metastases, spine lesions (SRS), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, lung, breast, pancreatic, and hepatic malignancies (SBRT), prostate cancer, and bone metastases. Used for single or multiple fractions, static or dynamic, gated or un-gated delivery.

| Common Name: | Multileaf Collimator |
| Classification Name: | Medical Linear Accelerator Accessory, 21CFR 892.5050 |
| Product Code: | IYE |
| Predicate Devices: | Agility™ (K121328), Varian RPM (983629), Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator (K111106) |
## Product Description:
This Traditional 510(k) describes changes to the Elekta range of medical linear accelerators when fitted with the Agility multileaf collimator and associated Integrity linac control system. Items added are; High Dose Rate mode x-rays, specific clinical indications for use, and the Response™ gating interface that enables the linac treatment beam to be automatically turned on and off by signals from an external gating device.
High Dose Rate mode x-rays are provided by changes to the filtering arrangement to reduce wasteful attenuation of the beam.
### Indications for Use and Intended Use Statement:
The Agility multileaf collimator is indicated for use when additional flexibility is required in conforming the radiation beam to the anatomy to be exposed.
The associated Integrity R3.1 software is the interface and control software for the Elekta medical digital linear accelerator and is intended to assist a licensed practitioner in the delivery of radiation to defined target volumes (e.g. lesions, arterio-venous malformations, malignant and benign tumors), whilst sparing surrounding normal tissue and critical organs from excess radiation.
Both High Dose Rate Mode and flattened beams are intended to be used for single or multiple fractions, delivered as static and/or dynamic, in gated or un-gated deliveries, in all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated.
The use of the Aglity multileaf collimator in conjunction with an Elekta digital linear accelerator may be helpful in the delivery of radiation for treatment that includes but is not limited to malignant and benign brain tumors, brain metastases, spine lesions treated using SRS, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, lung, breast, pancreatic, hepatic malignancies treated using SBRT, prostate, and bone metastases.
## Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The Elekta range of medical linear accelerators when fitted with the Agility multileaf collimator beam limiting device and its associated linear accelerator control software, Integrity R3.1, and the addition of High Dose Rate mode x-rays and a gating interface do not introduce any novel forms of technology.
### Substantial Equivalence
The functionality of the Elekta medical linear accelerator with Agility™ and High Dose Rate mode is substantially equivalent to that of its predicate device, Agility (K1211328), in safety and effectiveness. The intended use, principles of operation, technological characteristics and labeling are substantially equivalent except for the addition of a number of specific indications for use.
{1}------------------------------------------------
## Substantial Equivalence Table for High Dose Rate Mode
The primary functional differences between the predicate device and the new device are the changes made to the linac control software and beam filtration to allow the user the option to select unflattened x-ray beams in High Dose Rate mode and the option to fit a gating interface upgrade kit to permit external gating devices to temporarily suspend beam delivery.
