## Classification Name
Medical charged-particle radiation therapy systems. (21 C.F.R. §892.5050)
### Predicate Device
The IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 (PTS) is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared IBA proton therapy
system (K101508). The current PTS and its predicate device have the same intended use and principles of operation, and are substantially equivalent in terms of performance and technological characteristics.
Like its predicate IBA PTS device, this modified PTS is a device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for treatment of a patient. As its predicate device, it is intended for use in the therapeutic application of a proton beam for the treatment of localized tumours or other diseases that are susceptible to treatment by radiation.
The technological aspects of a patient treatment consist of protons generated by the beam supply equipment, directed to the patient's treatment site by the beam delivery system. The patient is put into the correct position relative to the beam by a positioning system. The current IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 and its predicate device both consist of a beam production equipment which generates the beam used by a beam delivery systems including a patient positioning system.
The predicate device also provides the same or substantially equivalent functions, characteristics, and accessories as does the currently modified PTS.
#### Indication for Use
The PTS is a medical device designed to produce and deliver a proton beam for the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation. The PTS may include a fixed small beam treatment room dedicated to the treatment of patients with localized tumors and other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation localized to the head and neck.
The indication for use is identical to the one of the predicate device.
#### Pre-market notification description
The change introduced in the IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 and described in this filing is the availability of a new IBA 220° Compact Gantry. The IBA 220° Compact Gantry combines the following advantages:
- -Uncompromised positioning treatment options provided by a continuously adjustable treatment angle combined with 6° freedom of movement offered by the patient positioner. All treatment angle can be achieved;
{2}------------------------------------------------
- The most compact gantry design ever developed for proton therapy, while still enabling easy patient access and non coplanar treatments.
#### Description of the device
The device corresponds to the previously cleared IBA proton therapy system (K101508) with the addition of a compact Gantry Beam line designed to produce and deliver a proton beam from various directions in a range of 220° for the treatment of patients.
#### Technological Characteristics
The IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235 is designed to: (1) create and deliver the proton beam to the patient treatment location; (2) produce a transverse and longitudinal dose distribution appropriate for the patient's treatment; and (3) deliver the designated dose to the patient's treatment site. The PTS has two primary components: (1) the beam supply equipment, which directs the proton beam to the patient's treatment site within the patient treatment location and ensures that the clinical functions are properly and safely accomplished; and (2) the beam supply equipment, which includes a cyclotron, an energy selection system and a delivery system to produce the proton beam and deliver it to the patient treatment locations. In addition to these primary components, the PTS includes a Therapy Safety System to protect against unsafe conditions, having both automatic and manual controls to shut down the PTS in the event that any problem occurs; and a computer-based Therapy Control System which controls the parameters of the proton beam.
The change in the device that triggered this submission is the introduction of a Compact Gantry Beam Line (CGBL), which consists of:
- Another type of rotating isocentric gantry called Compact Gantry. Like . other gantries, already part of the current Proteus 235, the CGBL supports a beam line and an associated nozzle supporting the scanning delivery technique, plus it can optionally integrate the energy selection system for a one-room configuration
The new Compact Gantry Beam Line modification is a simplification of the already existing 360° gantry beam line.
The changes are mainly limited to the gantry components and some of its interfaces.
Compared to the beam line with a 360° gantry, the radius of the compact gantry beam line is reduced, but the modified product does not induce changes nor any new limitations for clinical use (and therefore all existing clinical evidence remains valid):
{3}------------------------------------------------
a treatment fraction is still composed of one or more treatment fields where the proton beam will be pointed to the patient's tumor from one or more incidence angles. Those incidence angles are defined by both the direction of the beam realized by the gantry and the position and orientation of the patient support. To realize a particular incidence anale with respect to the patient, different combinations of gantry angles and patient positioner configurations are possible. Treatment rooms equipped with a 360° rotating gantry, promote gantry movements rather than patient support system movements. The compact gantry will use additional top rotations to cover the same range of beam incidences with respect to the patient in coplanar treatments.
With the CGBL, the Pencil Beam Scanning delivery technique is the delivery technique of choice. It allows intensity modulated proton therapy which is the most advanced technique to treat in proton therapy today. The fact of supporting one delivery technique results in decreasing the size of the nozzle which is beneficial for the access around the patient. Despite the maximum field size has been decreased to 24 cm x 20 cm, the same tumor size coverage can be guaranteed as in the 360° gantry beam line by using matching fields.
As for the previously cleared IBA proton therapy system, the CGBL is equipped with a patient positioning imaging system. With the CGBL, the nozzle is equipped with an Imaging Equipment insertion mechanism composed of 2 opposed moveable arms that can hold imaging equipment. These arms can be extracted from and retracted into the nozzle. Integrated with the appropriate imaging system (internal/external system) this allows planar X-ray imaging. In addition, thanks to the capability of pre-programmed gantry motion without continuous activation by the user, the compact gantry beam line is ready to support volumetric imaging at isocenter.
In conclusion, based on the above description, the predicate device has been modified as follows:
- a smaller gantry structure by reducing the angular range .
- . optionally a shorter beamline by integrating the energy selection system into the beamline on the gantry for a one-room configuration
- . a smaller nozzle size by including only Pencil Beam Scanning delivery technique and reducing field size
The risk management approach that has been applied for the development of the Compact Gantry Beam Line is described in MID 38870. As described in this document, Risk Analyzes have been performed to identify possible risks associated with the Compact Gantry Beam Line and define appropriate risk mitigations. The main mitigation principles are already applied in the existing beam lines 360°.
#### Comparison table to predicate device
The following table gives an overview of the main characteristics of the conventional gantry which is already part of the IBA Proton Therapy System -Proteus 235 versus the Compact Gantry Beam Line

# Impact on the existing IBA Proton Therapy System - Proteus 235
The predicate device architecture is not modified. The impacts are limited to some very specific areas.
.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- . A new beam line configuration is added to the product. When there are multiple rooms connected to the source (accelerator), it shall be possible to switch the beam to the Compact Gantry Beam Line (same principle as in Proteus 235 predicate device).
- The building is adapted in order to offer the appropriate structural and . shielding interface with the Compact Gantry Beam Line.
- Nevertheless, there are no changes in the gantry fixation o technology to the building structure (anchors), the only adaptations are the smaller room dimensions and the interface dimensions due to the specific configuration.
- The Beam Line equipments (magnets, monitors) use the same technology . and are adapted to the specific Compact Gantry Beam Line configuration (E.g. beam trajectories, interface assembly).
- The specific equipments required for the energy selection system (ESS) . are optional on the gantry depending on the treatment center configuration
#### Conclusion
The new Compact Gantry fulfills the same primary functions as the 360° Gantry.
- It provides an isocentric rotating structure that rotates the beam axis in a . plane perpenticular to the rotation axis, through a common isocenter within the required precision.
- It supports the movable portion of the beam transport line, a nozzle and an . Imaging Equipment Insertion mechanism.
- It quarantees the same patient clearance as with the 360° gantry. .
- . It allows reaching the same clinical performances.
