The Precision™ treatment planning system is indicated for creation and assessment of external photon beam irradiation treatment plans for radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated. A treatment plan provides an estimate of the dose distribution and the parameters utilized by the radiation delivery system. Plans must be reviewed and approved by qualified medical practitioners prior to delivery.
Device Story
Precision Treatment Planning System (TPS) creates and assesses external photon beam radiation therapy plans. Inputs include DICOM image series (CT, MR, PET). System transforms inputs into dose distribution estimates and delivery parameters using optimization and dose calculation subsystems. Operates on PC-class workstations with integrated GPU processing. Used by physicians, medical physicists, and dosimetrists in clinical settings to generate IMRT or 3DCRT plans. Output provided via user display or printed report for review against prescriptions and physics models. Facilitates tumoricidal dose delivery to targets while sparing healthy tissue; supports clinical decision-making through plan evaluation and approval by qualified practitioners.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data demonstrates the system enables creation, saving, review, and modification of treatment plans with quality levels equivalent to or higher than those produced by the predicate systems.
Technological Characteristics
PC-class workstation with integrated GPU for optimization and dose calculation. Supports DICOM image series (CT, MR, PET). Features include rigid and deformable image registration, autosegmentation (Brain, Male Pelvis, Head and Neck), and multiple plan modes (IMRT, 3DCRT, Forward Planning). Connectivity via standard DICOM protocols.
Indications for Use
Indicated for creation and assessment of external photon beam irradiation treatment plans for radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, or stereotactic radiosurgery for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body requiring radiation treatment. Intended for use by physicians, medical physicists, and dosimetrists.

stereotactic radiotherapy, the plan will generally involve delivering a damaging dose to diseased tissue at a level that allows healthy tissue in the target volume to recover, while also minimizing dose to tissue outside the target volume.
The treatment plan with dose distributions and complete delivered dose value along with the input data will be available through a user display or printed report for user review and evaluation against the treatment prescription and established physics models. The treatment plan will then be saved by the user, approved by the qualified medical practitioner, and subsequently delivered by the treatment delivery system.
# Technological Characteristics
There is no significant difference between the subject and predicate devices in terms of fundamental scientific technology or principles of operation. During the design of subject device, some modifications or additions were made to the CyberKnife MultiPlan Treatment Planning System to either include the functionality of TomoTherapy Planning Station or to improve the existing functionality/ user interface.

#### Performance
The performance test data for Precision Treatment Planning System demonstrates that the user will be able to create, save, review and modify treatment plans with the same or higher level of quality as currently produced by each of the individual predicate treatment planning systems. Thus, Precision Treatment Planning System demonstrates similar performance characteristics to the predicate devices.
## Substantial Equivalence
The subject device, Precision Treatment Planning System is substantially equivalent to both predicate devices: CyberKnife MultiPlan Treatment Planning System and TomoTherapy Planning Station in intended use, technological characteristics and performance. The minor differences in technological characteristics raise no new questions of safety or efficacy and the performance data confirms that the Precision Treatment Planning System is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
