Attributes
Software as a Medical Device
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 12 is a software-based treatment planning system (TPS) for radiation therapy. It processes medical images to design and simulate external beam (photon, electron, proton) and internal (brachytherapy) radiation treatments. Operated by trained medical professionals in clinical settings, the system utilizes various dose calculation algorithms (e.g., AcurosXB, AcurosBV, PRO, BAO, DVO) to generate treatment plans. It integrates with hospital infrastructure via SQL Server, supporting RT prescription, plan validation, and status tracking. The software provides tools for image segmentation, dose-volume histogram (DVH) estimation, and modulated scanning for proton therapy. Clinicians use the output to finalize radiation delivery parameters, aiming to optimize dose distribution to target tissues while sparing healthy anatomy. The system supports remote deployment and utilizes the Eclipse Scripting API for workflow integration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of non-clinical verification and validation testing performed on a production-equivalent device under clinically representative conditions to confirm design input requirements and functional integrity.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based TPS; 64-bit architecture. Algorithms: AcurosXB, AcurosBV, PRO, BAO, DVO, and fluence calculation via LMC. Connectivity: SQL Server database, Eclipse Scripting API (ESAPI), DICOM-compatible. Features: Deformable registration (SmartAdapt), DVH estimation, modulated proton scanning (spot/line), and support for various linac platforms (TrueBeam, Elekta VMAT).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with malignant or benign diseases requiring radiotherapy. Used for planning external beam irradiation (photon, electron, proton) and internal irradiation (brachytherapy). Proton Eye algorithm 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.

#### Summary of Non-clinical Testing
Verification testing was performed to demonstrate that the performance and functionality of the new and existing features met the design input requirements.
Regression testing was performed to verify the integrity of any changes. Validation testing was performed on a production equivalent device, under clinically representative conditions by qualified personnel.
#### Conclusion of Non-Clinical testing
Results from Verification and Validation testing demonstrate that the product met defined user needs and defined design input requirements. Varian therefore considers Eclipse 12 to be safe and to perform at least as well as the predicate device.
