| Regulation | 21 CFR 892.5750 |
| Device Class | Class 2 |
| Attributes | Therapeutic |
Intended Use
The CyberKnife system is intended to provide treatment planning and image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions (e.g. arteriovenous malformations), tumors and conditions of the brain, base of skull (BOS) and cervico-thoracic spine (CTS), head and neck.
Device Story
CyberKnife System provides image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy. Input: 3D patient anatomy data from treatment planning system and real-time orthogonal X-ray images for position verification. Operation: 6 MV linear accelerator mounted on a six-axis manipulator for automated positioning and pointing; system uses real-time imaging to dynamically adjust beam delivery based on patient position. Output: Targeted radiation dose to lesions/tumors. Used in clinical settings by trained professionals. Benefits: Enables precise, image-guided delivery of radiation to complex anatomical targets in the brain, skull base, and spine, potentially sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and technical comparison of system specifications, including mechanical isocenter accuracy, dosimetry reproducibility, and treatment planning capabilities.
Technological Characteristics
6 MV standing wave linear accelerator; X-band microwave frequency; six-axis manipulator for beam positioning; heavy metal secondary collimators (5-60 mm); SGI 440-based treatment planning system; real-time orthogonal X-ray imaging for guidance; stationary treatment couch.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring stereotactic radiosurgery or precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions of the brain, base of skull, cervico-thoracic spine, and head and neck.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A radionuclide radiation therapy system is a device intended to permit an operator to administer gamma radiation therapy, with the radiation source located at a distance from the patient's body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts (including beam-limiting devices), and accessories.

| Device Name: | The CyberKnife™ System for Stereotactic<br>Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy |
| Predicate Device: | Varian Clinac™ 600SR, K913174 |
| Device Description: | The CyberKnife® System for Stereotactic<br>Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy is a treatment planning, imaging, and<br>treatment delivery system for image-guided stereotactic<br>radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy. The treatment planning<br>system provides 3-dimensional viewing of the patient anatomy<br>with appropriate dose calculation of the target volume and<br>surrounding tissue structures. The imaging system provides real-<br>time, orthogonal x-ray images of the patient in the treatment<br>position to verify treatment position and accuracy and provides<br>information suitable for dynamically positioning and pointing a<br>linear accelerator. The treatment delivery system consists of a<br>linear accelerator which provides 6 MV x-rays. A six-access<br>manipulator provides automated positioning and pointing of the<br>linear accelerator. The treatment couch provides positioning of the<br>patient. |

Dear Ms. Ng:
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 redassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (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 II (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(t) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a dassification 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 (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
