Intended Use
Smart Segmentation - Knowledge Based Contouring provides a combined atlas and model based approach for automated and manual segmentation of structures including target volumes and organs at risk to support the radiation therapy treatment planning process.
Device Story
Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring (SS-KBC) is a software-only product for radiation therapy treatment planning. It utilizes a combined atlas and model-based approach to automate the segmentation of anatomical structures, target volumes, and organs at risk. The system includes a searchable library of expert-contoured cases, which users can modify or supplement. Expert cases are registered to target images to propagate contours. The device supports 4D-CT data sets and includes a specific algorithm for mandible segmentation. Clinicians use the software to perform or edit segmentations, ensuring inter- and intra-user consistency. Output consists of delineated structures used in treatment planning. The device is intended for use by radiation oncology professionals to improve the efficiency and consistency of the contouring process, ultimately supporting precise radiation delivery.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Verification and validation testing were performed on a production-equivalent device under clinically representative conditions to confirm that the software met design input requirements and user needs.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only product; atlas and model-based segmentation; supports 4D-CT data sets; DICOM compatible; includes tools for manual editing, deformable registration, and expert case library management.
Indications for Use
Indicated for automated and manual segmentation of anatomical structures, target volumes, and organs at risk to support radiation therapy treatment planning.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

- 4. Description of the Device:
The Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring was most recently cleared as the Varian Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring, K112778.
Smart Segmentation - Knowledge Based Contouring is a software only product that provides a combined atlas and model based approach to automated segmentation of structures together with tools for manual contouring or editing of structures. A library of already contoured expert cases is provided which is searchable by anatomy, staging, or free text. Users also have the ability to add or modify expert cases to suit their clinical needs. Expert cases are registered to the target image and selected

structures propagated. Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring supports inter and intra user consistency in contouring. This product also provides an anatomy atlas which gives examples of delineated organs for the whole upper body, as well as anatomy images and functional description for selectable structures.
- 5. Reason for submission:
Changes in SS-KBC have prompted a new submission. Support of 4D-CT data sets and a new algorithm for segmentation of the mandible are changes new to Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring.
- 6. Intended Use Statement
Smart Segmentation - Knowledge Based Contouring provides a combined atlas and model based approach for automated and manual segmentation of structures including target volumes and organs at risk to support the radiation therapy treatment planning process.
- 7. Indications for Use Statement
Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring provides a combined atlas and model based approach for automated and manual segmentation of structures including target volumes and organs at risk to support the radiation therapy treatment planning process.
## 8. Substantial Equivalence
The modified device, the Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, the Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring (K112778) and Eclipse (K102011). The Intended Use and Indications for Use are unchanged.
Compared with the predicate devices, the Smart Segmentation Knowledge Based Contouring (K112778) and Eclipse with Smart Segmentation (K102011), the basic operation and technological characteristics are the same. Operational differences are described in the Instructions for Use for the SS-KBC 2.1. A comparison table illustrating the substantial equivalence of the modified device to the predicate devices appears below.

Dear Mr. Coronado:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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 Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
