Attributes
Software as a Medical Device
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 system used by trained medical professionals to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments. It processes patient imaging data (CT, MR, PET) to plan external beam (photon, electron, proton) and internal (brachytherapy) radiation. The system includes tools for image registration, segmentation, dose calculation, and optimization. New features include Acuros PT (Monte Carlo-based proton dose calculation), Field Specific PTV for proton planning, and Acuros BV intermediate dose calculation for brachytherapy. The software assists clinicians in creating treatment plans, which are then used to guide radiation delivery equipment. By providing accurate dose distribution modeling and optimization, the device helps clinicians maximize radiation delivery to target tissues while sparing healthy structures, potentially improving therapeutic outcomes for patients with malignant or benign diseases.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation were performed for all new features, with regression testing against existing features. Testing confirmed conformance to user needs and intended uses with no safety-intolerable discrepancy reports.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based treatment planning system. Features Monte Carlo-based dose calculation (Acuros PT), volumetric optimization, and image processing (registration, segmentation). Supports photon (1-50 MV), electron (1-50 MeV), and proton (50-300 MeV) beams. Integrates with ARIA RadOnc and supports DICOM RT standards. Operates on a distributed calculation framework.
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). Eclipse 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.

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.

### Non-clinical Testing
Verification and Validation were performed for all the new features and regression testing was performed against the existing features of Eclipse. 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 13.7 to be safe and effective 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 Acuros Proton Therapy, Field Specific PTV and Acuros BV intermediate dose calculation to volumetric optimizer.
These changes are all considered by Varian to be enhancements of the predicate. 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.
