Attributes
Software as a Medical Device
Intended Use
The Eclipse Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS) is used to plan radiotherapy treatments for patients 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.
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 anatomical data to plan external beam (photon, electron, proton) and brachytherapy treatments. The system includes tools for RT Peer Review, RapidPlan (now extended to proton planning), Multi-Criteria Optimization (MCO), and various planning enhancements for specific treatment delivery systems like Halcyon. Clinicians use the software to optimize dose distribution and treatment parameters. The output assists in defining radiation delivery plans, which directly informs clinical decision-making for cancer therapy. The system benefits patients by enabling precise, individualized radiation treatment planning.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical or animal studies were performed. Software verification and validation were conducted in accordance with FDA guidance for major level of concern software, demonstrating conformance to requirements and specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Computer-based software for radiotherapy planning. Conforms to IEC 62304 (software lifecycle), IEC 62366-1 (usability), IEC 61217 (coordinates/movements), IEC 62083 (safety of TPS), and IEC 82304-1 (health software safety). Features include RapidPlan, MCO, and ESAPI. Operates as a standalone software application for clinical use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with malignant or benign diseases requiring radiotherapy treatment planning, including external beam irradiation (photon, electron, proton) and internal irradiation (brachytherapy).
Regulatory Classification

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmp/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

#### COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The modified device, referred to as the "subject device" throughout this summary, is release version v16.0 (version 16.0) of the Eclipse Treatment Planning System with additional software changes incorporated since the release version of the predicate device, version 15.6 (K181145).
At a high level, both the predicate device and the subject device are based on the same characteristics:
- . Both the subject device and the predicate provide software tools for planning the treatment of malignant or benign diseases with radiation.
- . They are computer-based software devices used by trained medical professionals to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments.
- . They are both capable of planning treatments for external beam irradiation with photon, electron, and proton beams, as well as for internal irradiation (brachytherapy) treatments.
The following differences exist between the software release versions of the subject and the predicate devices:
- 1. Introduction of the new RT (Radiotherapy) Peer Review feature
- 2. Introduction of the existing RapidPlan feature to proton planning
- 3. Other improvements and enhancements of existing radiotherapy planning features
- a. Multi-Criteria Optimization (MCO) Enhancements
- b. External Beam Planning Enhancements
- Halcyon Treatment Planning Enhancements C.
- d. Brachytherapy Treatment Planning Enhancements
- Eclipse Scripting API (ESAPI) Enhancements e.
- 4. Maintenance or obsolescence of other radiotherapy planning features
- a. Update to the Indications for Use Statement
#### History of These Features within the Eclipse Treatment Planning System:
| Features in v16.0 | Available in v15.6? | Available in earlier versions? |
|------------------------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| RT Peer Review | No, new feature for v16.0 | No, new feature for v16.0 |
| RapidPlan | Yes, for photon planning | Yes, first introduced in v13.5 (K141283) |
| Multi-Criteria Optimization (MCO) | Yes | Yes, first introduced in v15.5 (K172163) |
| External Beam Planning Support | Yes | Yes, present as early as v8.8 (K091492) |
| Halcyon Treatment Planning Support | Yes | Yes, first introduced in v15.1.1 (K170969) |
| Brachytherapy Treatment Planning Support | Yes | Yes, present as early as v8.8 (K091492) |
| Eclipse Scripting API (ESAPI) | Yes | Yes, first introduced in v12.0 (K131891) |

#### PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
#### Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "major" level of concern.
Test results demonstrate conformance to applicable requirements and specifications. No animal studies or clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission.
#### Standards conformance
The subject device conforms in whole or in part with the following standards:
- IEC 62304 Edition 1.1 2015-06 Medical device software - Software life cycle processes
- IEC 62366-1 Edition 1.0 2015-02 Application of usability engineering to medical devices ●
- IEC 61217 Edition 2.0 2011-12 Radiotherapy equipment - Coordinates, movements, and scales
- IEC 62083 Edition 2.0 2009-09 Requirements for the safety of radiotherapy treatment planning systems ●
- . IEC 82304-1 Edition 1.0 2016-10 Health software - Part 1: General requirements for product safety
#### Argument for substantial equivalence to the predicate device
A subset of software features and characteristics of the subject device are different from the predicate device. However, Varian considers these differences to be enhancements of the predicate. The principle of operation of the subject device is the same as that of the existing predicate device. Verification and validation demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate. Varian therefore believes that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
#### CONCLUSION
The predicate device was cleared based only on non-clinical testing, and no animal or clinical studies were performed for the subject device. The non-clinical data supports the device, and verification and validation demonstrate that the subject device should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. There were no remaining discrepancy reports (DRs) which could be classified as Safety or Customer Intolerable. Therefore, Varian considers Eclipse Treatment Planning System v16.0 to be safe and effective and perform at least as well as the predicate device, Eclipse Treatment Planning System v15.6 (K181145).
