Intended Use

ROCS TPS (Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System) is intended to be used for the computation, display, evaluation and output documentation of radiation dose estimations to be submitted for independent clinical review and judgment prior to use. The goal of this system is to provide a tool that will provide consistent results using well documented algorithms. This system does not provide direct control over any treatment delivery device or system in any form. The device only provides output data in the form of displays, hardcopy prints and/or plots to guide a physician in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan. It is intended to provide a report to be used by a competent health professional such as a radiation oncologist, medical physicist, radiation therapist or dosimetrist.

Device Story

ROCS TPS is a software-based radiation therapy treatment planning system. It processes user-controlled input data via table look-up formats and documented algorithms to estimate radiation dose. The system operates on a PC platform using the Microsoft Windows NT operating system. It produces graphical displays, hardcopy prints, and plots. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncologists, medical physicists, therapists, or dosimetrists, the system serves as a decision-support tool. It does not control treatment delivery devices. Output reports guide clinicians in selecting optimal patient treatment plans, facilitating consistent dose estimation and independent clinical review.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based treatment planning system; runs on PC hardware with Microsoft Windows NT OS; utilizes graphical user interface; employs table look-up formats and documented algorithms for dose calculation; supports modular software/hardware upgrades; Y2K compliant.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, or dosimetrists to compute, display, evaluate, and document radiation dose estimations for patient treatment planning. No specific patient population age or disease state contraindications provided.

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.

Device Description:

ROCS treatment planning system is a collection of software modules that execute well known and documented algorithms to produce radiation dose estimations. All data is user controlled and is in a table look-up format. Information is presented graphically on CRT screens and in hardcopy reports. Various models are available based upon the specific features desired by the customer (e.g., asymmetric jaws, electron pencil beam calculations, etc.) to best meet their clinical needs. The software is designed to run on a PC platform utilizing the Microsoft® Windows NT® operating system. ROCS treatment planning system has been designed to be upgradable in both software features and hardware. All dates are four digit numbers so the system is able to handle the year 2000.

Dear Ms. Neblett:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone].
