Intended Use

The Eclipse Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS) is used to plan radiotherapy treatments 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 TPS is a computer-based software tool for medical professionals to design and simulate radiation therapy. Inputs include patient medical images (CT, MR, PET) and clinical data. Software transforms inputs into treatment plans via dose calculation algorithms (e.g., AcurosXB, AcurosBV, Gaussian Pencil Beam, Monte Carlo) and optimization modules. Outputs include dose distributions, field parameters, and hardcopy reports for clinical review. Used in clinical settings by trained professionals to guide radiation delivery. Benefits include precise treatment planning, optimized dose delivery to target volumes, and sparing of healthy tissue. Supports integration with ARIA RadOnc and DICOM RT standards.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification and validation performed for new features and regression testing for existing features. System requirements traced to test outcomes. No safety-intolerable discrepancy reports remained.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based treatment planning system. Features include dose calculation algorithms (AcurosXB, AcurosBV, Monte Carlo, Gaussian Pencil Beam), image processing (segmentation, registration, blending), and optimization modules. Connectivity via DICOM RT and ARIA integration. Operates on standard clinical computing hardware. No specific materials or energy sources as it is a software device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with malignant or benign diseases requiring radiotherapy. Includes external beam irradiation (photon, electron, proton) and internal irradiation (brachytherapy). Eclipse Proton Eye algorithm indicated for proton treatment 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.

System requirements created or affected by the changes can be traced to the test outcomes. ### Conclusion of Non-Clinical testing The outcome was that the product conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses and that there were no DRs (discrepancy reports) remaining which had a priority of Safety Intolerable or Customer Intolerable. Varian therefore considers Eclipse 13.5 to be safe and to perform at least as well as the predicate device. ### Argument for Substantial Equivalence to the Predicate Device A subset of features of the current device is different to the predicate. Of these, the significant changes compared with the predicate are associated with RapidPlan (previously known as Dose Volume Histogram Estimation) and also changes to the algorithm related to support for mARC treatment planning by Siemens treatment machines. Other changes are the addition of new BrachyVision features. These changes are all considered by Varian to be enhancements of the Indications for Use and the Intended Use remain unchanged. There are no changes in the principle of operation of the software. The Verification and Validation demonstrates that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate. Varian therefore believes that Eclipse TPS is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
