Intended Use
Mobius3D software is used for quality assurance, treatment plan verification, and patient alignment and anatomy analysis in radiation therapy. It calculates radiation dose three-dimensionally in a representation of a patient or a phantom. The calculation is based on read-in treatment plans that are initially calculated by a treatment planning system, and may additionally be based on external measurements of radiation fields from other sources such as linac delivery log data. Patient alignment and anatomy analysis is based on read-in treatment planning images (such as computed tomography) and read-in daily treatment images (such as registered cone beam computed tomography). Mobius3D is not a treatment planning system. It is only to be used by trained radiation oncology personnel as a quality assurance tool.
Device Story
Software-only QA tool for radiation therapy clinics; operated by trained radiation oncology personnel. Inputs: treatment plans from external treatment planning systems (TPS), linear accelerator delivery log files, planning CT images, and daily cone beam CT (CBCT) images. Core function: independent 3D radiation dose calculation using proprietary collapsed cone convolution superposition (CCCS) algorithm; dose delivery verification via linac log files (MobiusFX module); and patient alignment/anatomy analysis via image registration (CBCT Checks module). Outputs: dose verification reports and image analysis notifications. Healthcare providers use output to verify treatment plan accuracy and monitor patient positioning/anatomical changes before radiation delivery. Benefits: ensures treatment plan integrity and patient alignment, reducing risk of delivery errors.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluated CBCT module using anonymized data from 22 patients across 163 treatment fractions. Testing validated the module's ability to detect and notify users of potential patient positioning or anatomical differences compared to planning images. Software verification and validation performed per FDA guidelines.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only QA tool. Performs independent 3D dose calculation using collapsed cone convolution superposition (CCCS) algorithm. Includes modules for dose delivery verification (MobiusFX) and image-based alignment analysis (CBCT Checks). Operates on read-in data from external TPS and imaging systems. No patient contact. No hardware components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for radiation oncology personnel to perform quality assurance, treatment plan verification, and patient alignment/anatomy analysis in radiation therapy. Not for use as a treatment planning system.

# 5.8 Device Description
Mobius3D is a software product used within a radiation therapy clinic for quality assurance and treatment plan verification. It is important to note that while Mobius3D operates in the field of radiation therapy, it is neither a radiation delivery device (e.g. a linear accelerator), nor is it a treatment planning system (TPS). Mobius3D cannot design or transmit instructions to a delivery device, nor does it control any other medical device. Mobius3D is an analysis tool meant solely for quality assurance (QA) purposes
{4}------------------------------------------------
when used by trained medical professionals. Being a software-only QA tool, Mobius3D never comes into contact with patients.
Mobius3D performs dose calculation verifications for radiation treatment plans by doing an independent calculation of radiation dose. Radiation dose is initially calculated by a treatment planning system (TPS), which is a software tool that develops a detailed set of instructions (i.e. a plan) for another system (e.g. a linear accelerator) to deliver radiation to a patient. The dose calculation performed by Mobius3D uses a proprietary collapsed cone convolution superposition (CCCS) algorithm.
Mobius3D also performs dose delivery quality assurance for radiation treatment plans by using the measured data recorded in a linear accelerator's delivery log files to calculate a delivered dose. This is presented to the end user in a software component of Mobius3D called MobiusFX. The MobiusFX component is available to users through licensing as an add-on to the core Mobius3D software features.
Compared to the previously cleared Mobius3D v 1.3.2 (K140660), Mobius3D v 2.0.0 contains the additional intended use of performing quality assurance of a patient's alignment and anatomy analysis. This analysis is based on comparison of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images taken immediately before treatment to the images used for treatment planning, which are typically acquired using standard Computed Tomography (CT). This analysis is presented to the end user in an add-on software module within Mobius3D called CBCT Checks.
# 5.9 Intended Use
Mobius3D software is used for quality assurance, treatment plan verification, and patient alignment and anatomy analysis in radiation therapy. It calculates radiation dose three-dimensionally in a representation of a patient or a phantom. The calculation is based on read-in treatment plans that are initially calculated by a treatment planning system, and may additionally be based on external measurements of radiation fields from other sources such as linac delivery log data. Patient alignment and anatomy analysis is based on read-in treatment planning images (such as computed tomography) and read-in daily treatment images (such as registered cone beam computed tomography).
Mobius3D is not a treatment planning system. It is only to be used by trained radiation oncology personnel as a quality assurance tool.
#### 5.10 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS SUMMARY
The principle technological characteristic of Mobius3D is to perform quality assurance evaluations on the radiation treatment planning system (TPS) and radiation delivery systems (e.g. linear accelerators). Mobius3D (v 2.0.0) adds the technical characteristic of performing comparative analysis between patient images acquired at different times using different image modalities.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Detailed technological characteristics and indications for use presented within the full set of submitted documentation for this 510(k) application support the claim that Mobius3D is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
#### 5.11 Testing Summary
Software development, verification, and validation have been carried out in accordance with FDA quidelines. The software was tested against the established Software Design Specifications and passed all required tests. A Risk Management Report was completed which identified and verified the mitigation of all required hazards.
In addition, bench testing was performed and is presented in a report titled: Mobius3D CBCT Module Evaluation - Patient Positioning / Anatomical Changes Bench Testing. The report was generated by performing a full suite of tests utilizing anonymized data from 22 different patients over 163 different fractions with varying treatment sites to validate each portion of the analysis. The report demonstrates the Mobius3D CBCT module's ability to notify users to a potential patient positioning or anatomical difference.
## 5.12Conclusions
Based on the evidence presented in this 510k submission, Mobius Medical Systems believes that Mobius3D is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices both in terms of its indications for use and its technical characteristics, and that Mobius3D is a safe and effective medical device for its intended users.
