The device provides output data in the form of displays, hardcopy prints and / or plots, set-up instructions and other control information to guide the physician and / or other competent health care professional in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan.

Device Story

RAPTOR Treatment Planning System is a software suite for radiation oncology; generates radiation dose estimates and treatment plans. Inputs include user-controlled data; processes via documented algorithms; outputs include graphical displays, hardcopy reports, plots, and multileaf collimator (MLC) control instructions. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncologists, physicists, and dosimetrists to guide treatment planning and delivery. System runs on PC platform with Windows NT; supports modular upgrades. Benefits include consistent dose estimation and optimized treatment planning for radiation delivery equipment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence based on bench testing, verification, and validation performed under NOMOS Corporation Quality System design controls. Testing included hazard analysis, design reviews, and verification against product specifications to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based treatment planning system; runs on PC platform with Microsoft Windows NT OS. Features modular architecture for dose estimation and MLC control. Year 2000 compliant. Utilizes table look-up formations for calculations. Connectivity via standard PC output (displays, printers, plotters).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by radiation oncology professionals (radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, or dosimetrists) to generate, display, evaluate, and output radiation dose estimates and treatment instructions for clinical review prior to patient treatment.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

(a) (4) Device description:

The RAPTOR Treatment Planning System is a collection of software modules that execute known and documented algorithms to produce radiation dose estimations. All data is user controlled and is a table look-up formation is presented graphically on CRT screens and hardcopy reports. Various models are available based on the specific features desired by the customer (e.q., 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. The RAPTOR Treatment Planning System includes modules for the development of instructions and controls for multileaf collimators. It is designed to upgradable in both hardware and software features. All dates are four digit numbers so the system is year 2000 compliant.

estimates based on computation, output and displays. The goal of the system is to produce consistent results using well-documented algorithms. It will provide outputs for radiation delivery equipment including documented and released multileaf collimators [MLCs] for planning, optimization, delivery and reporting of treatments. The device provides output data in the form of displays, hardcopy prints and / or plots, set-up instructions and other control information to guide the physician and / or other competent health care professional in selecting the optimum patient treatment plan.

## (a) (6) Technological characteristics:

The RAPTOR® Treatment Planning System is designed to run on the Microsoft Windows NT operating system the same as the ROCS Treatment Planning System [K982791]. The RAPTOR® Treatment Planning System uses the same software architecture and hardware platform as the ROCS Treatment Planning System. It was developed and tested using Quality system design control and product release procedures.

It differs in that a module for calculating the effects of multileaf collimators and providing instructions for their control like those found in PEACOCK® System is added.

(b) (1) Non-clinical tests submitted:

The RAPTOR® Treatment Planning System was developed and tested using the design controls set forth in the NOMOS Corporation Quality System. It has a product specification, which was used as the basis for the development of verification and validation plans, tests and acceptance criteria. A rigorous hazard analysis also was performed, which includes mitigation for each identified hazard. Design reviews were conducted at appropriate stages of development.

(b) (3) Test Conclusions:

Validation and verification testing of the RAPTOR® Treatment Planning System demonstrate that the software is safe and effective. Test completion shows that the device performs and is equivalent to the predicate systems for those features for which this submission is being made as well as overall performance. Product release also is made in accordance with established NOMOS Corporation Quality System Procedures after all tests are completed, reviewed and meet acceptance criteria and regulatory requirements.
