## Indications for Use

The Trilogy™ Radiotherapy Delivery and the Trilogy Tx is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated.

## Device Story

Trilogy Radiotherapy Delivery System and Trilogy Tx are dual-energy, high dose rate medical linear accelerators. Devices deliver megavoltage x-ray treatments for 3D conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Inputs include treatment planning data; system transforms inputs into precise radiation delivery via gantry-mounted accelerator. Outputs are ionizing radiation beams directed at lesions, tumors, or conditions. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncologists and medical physicists. System supports intracranial and extracranial treatments, including single-session or fractionated delivery. Provides precision targeting for lesions such as arteriovenous malformations, primary tumors, and metastases. Benefits include high-precision dose delivery to target volumes while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics, design, and operational parameters compared to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Dual-energy medical linear accelerator; energy range 4-25MV. Dose rates up to 600MU/min (3DCRT/IMRT) and 1000MU/min (SRS). Isocenter accuracy ≤1.5mm for all three rotational axes. Maximum field sizes: 40cm x 40cm (3DCRT), 34cm x 40cm (IMRT), 15cm x 15cm (SRS). Features remote couch motion for corrective (≤2cm and 2°) and planned rotations with secondary position readout verification.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Trilogy Radiotherapy Delivery System ([K033343](/device/K033343.md))
- CyberKnife ([K041315](/device/K041315.md))

Dear Ms. Tran:

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. 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA’s issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act’s requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
