Intended Use

Pinnacle3™ Radiation Therapy Planning Software is a computer software package intended to provide support for radiation therapy treatment planning for the treatment of benign or malignant disease processes. Pinnacle3 Radiation Therapy Planning Software assists the clinician in formulating a treatment plan that maximizes the dose to the treatment volume while minimizing the dose to the surrounding normal tissues. The device is indicated for use in patients deemed to be acceptable candidates for radiation treatment in the judgment of the clinician responsible for patient care. Plans generated using this software are used in the determination of the course of a patient's radiation treatment. They are to be evaluated, modified and implemented by qualified medical personnel.

Device Story

Pinnacle3 is a radiation therapy planning system running on Sun Unix workstations with Solaris OS. It processes patient data to construct and evaluate radiation treatment plans for external beam (photons/electrons), stereotactic radiosurgery, and brachytherapy. Clinicians use the system to maximize dose to target volumes while sparing normal tissue. Functional modules include image import/manipulation, contouring, point definition, and plan evaluation. The software assists in determining the course of radiation treatment; final plans must be evaluated, modified, and implemented by qualified medical personnel. The system aids in clinical decision-making by providing dose distribution visualizations and calculations, ultimately benefiting patients by optimizing therapeutic radiation delivery.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing was performed. Substantial equivalence and safety/effectiveness were demonstrated through bench-only verification and validation testing.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based radiation therapy planning system; operates on Sun Unix workstation with Solaris OS. Modules include image import, contouring, dose calculation for photons/electrons/brachytherapy/stereotactic radiosurgery. Connectivity for file management. No new technological characteristics compared to predicates.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring radiation therapy for benign or malignant disease processes, as determined by a clinician. No specific age or gender restrictions.

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:

Pinnacle Radiation Treatment Planning Software is a system composed of a Sun Unix workstation running the Solaris operating system and software which provides the user with the capability to enter patient data into the system, use that data to construct a plan for radiation therapy, and evaluate the plan.

The system consists of a number of functional areas: physics, image import, image manipulation, contouring, point definition, photon and electron external beam treatment planning, stereotactic radiosurgery, brachytherapy, plan evaluation, file management and connectivity. Photons, electrons, stereotactic radiosurgery and brachytherapy functions are sold as separate options and may or may not be included in every system.

Pinnacle assists the clinician in formulating a treatment plan that maximizes the dose to the treatment volume while minimizing the dose to the surrounding normal tissues. Plans generated using this software are used in the determination of the course of a patient's radiation treatment. They are to be evaluated, modified and implemented by qualified medical personnel.

#### Intended Use:

Pinnacle3 Radiation Therapy Planning System provides three-dimensional planning software for external beam (photons and electrons), stereotactic radiosurgery and brachytherapy planning.

#### Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Devices:

Pinnacle Radiation Therapy Planning Software has been designed to add new features and functions to the existing Pinnacle Apex Treatment Planning System, cleared under K951518, in 1995. Pinnacle Radiation Therapy Planning Software incorporates no technological characteristics not currently contained in the predicate devices, Pinnacle Apex System (K951518), ADAC Pinnacle Software (K926008S2),
