The Monaco product line is intended for use in radiation treatment planning. It uses generally accepted methods for: contouring; image manipulation; simulation; image fusion; plan optimization; QA and plan review.
Device Story
Monaco RTP System is a radiation treatment planning software; accepts patient diagnostic imaging and linear accelerator dosimetry data. Users (dosimetrists/medical physicists) perform contouring of target volumes and critical structures; define treatment scenarios (beam number, position, energy, modifiers). System calculates radiation dose distributions using Monte Carlo, Collapsed Cone, and Pencil Beam algorithms; displays 2D/3D dose distributions. Supports 3D conformal, IMRT, and Dynamic Conformal planning; inverse and forward workflows. Clinicians review and approve plans; no direct link to linear accelerator. Output assists in maximizing target dose while minimizing healthy tissue exposure; improves treatment precision.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via bench testing and simulated clinical workflows. Over 600 verification and regression test procedures executed to ensure system requirements, risk mitigations, and functionality were met.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based radiation treatment planning system running on Windows OS. Supports DICOM RT. Algorithms include Monte Carlo (electron/photon), Collapsed Cone (photon), and Pencil Beam (optimization). Features include contouring, image manipulation/fusion, dose calculation, plan optimization, and QA/review. Supports 3D conformal, IMRT, and Dynamic Conformal planning.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring external beam radiation therapy planning. Used by dosimetrists or medical physicists to calculate photon and electron radiation dose distributions and optimize treatment plans.

## MONACO INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Monaco system is used to make treatment plans for patients with prescriptions for external beam radiation therapy. The system calculates dose for photon and electron treatment plans and displays. on-screen and in hard-copy. two- or three-dimensional radiation dose distributions inside patients for given treatment plan set-ups.
The Monaco product line is intended for use in radiation treatment planning. It uses generally accepted methods for:
- contouring
- · image manipulation
- · simulation
- · image fusion
- · plan optimization
- · QA and plan review
## DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
Monaco is a radiation treatment planning system that first received FDA clearance in 2007 (K071938). The modified system received clearance in 2009, when Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) planning capability was added (K091179), when Dynamic Conformal Arc planning was added (K110730), and most recently when the
{5}------------------------------------------------
system's intended use was expanded to include electron treatment planning, among other changes (K132971). The Monaco system accepts patient diagnostic imaging data and "source" dosimetry data from a linear accelerator. The system then permits the user to display and define (contour) the target volume to be treated and critical structures which must not receive above a certain level of radiation on these diagnostic images.
Based on the prescribed dose, the user, a Dosimetrist or Medical Physicist, can create multiple treatment scenarios involving the number, position(s) and energy of radiation beams and the use of beam modifiers between the source of radiation and the patient to shape the beam. The Monaco system then produces a display of radiation dose distribution within the patient, indicating doses to the target volume and surrounding structures. The "best" plan satisfying the prescription is then selected, one that maximizes dose to the target volume while minimizing dose to surrounding healthy volumes. The Monaco system supports 3D conformal planning, IMRT, and Dynamic Conformal. It supports inverse and forward planning workflows.
## LEVEL OF CONCERN
Item 4b of Table 1 in the FDA Guidance document entitled. "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices asks, "Does the Software Device control the delivery of potentially harmful energy that could result in death or serious injury, such as radiation treatment systems ... " Monaco does not directly control the linear accelerator that delivers the radiation. Once completed, plans are reviewed and approved by qualified clinicians and may be subject to quality assurance practices before treatment actually takes place. There is no automatic link between the Monaco software and the linear accelerator. However, should a flaw in the treatment plan escape the notice of the qualified professionals using the Monaco system, serious injury or death could result. Therefore, we believe Monaco to be of major level of concern.
## SUMMARY OF CLINICAL TESTING
Clinical trials were not performed as part of the development of this product. Clinical testing on patients is not advantageous in demonstrating substantial equivalence or safety and effectiveness of the device since testing can be performed such that no human subjects are exposed to risk. Validation testing involved simulated clinical workflows, described in detail in section 20. The product was deemed fit for clinical use.
## SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING
Verification tests were written and executed to ensure that the system is working as designed. Over 600 test procedures were executed, including tests to verify requirements for new product functionality, tests to ensure that risk mitigations function as intended, and regression tests to ensure continued safety and effectiveness of existing functionality. Monaco passed testing and was deemed safe and effective for its intended use.
