Regulation
21 CFR 892.5050
Device Class
Class 2
Indications for Use
The Target Positioner is used to position the patient for the stereotactic radiotherapy/ radiosurgery. The optional usage of the Stereotactic Counterweight improves the accuracy of patient positioning during the treatment by compensating the Target Positioner after its removal.
Device Story
Target Positioner is a non-invasive mechanical device used in stereotactic radiotherapy/radiosurgery. It consists of an aluminum frame and transparent plastic carrier plates. Device aligns planned patient treatment isocenter with LINAC isocenter. It attaches to headrings or mask systems. Device must be removed prior to treatment. Optional stereotactic counterweight compensates for weight of positioner after removal to maintain positioning accuracy. Operated by clinical staff in a radiotherapy setting.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical device; aluminum frame; transparent plastic carrier plates. Non-invasive. Interfaces with headrings or mask systems. No energy source. No software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing stereotactic radiotherapy or radiosurgery requiring precise positioning of the treatment isocenter.
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.

Common Name:
Stereotactic Target Positioner, Target Positioner for Leksell Headring, Stereotactic Counterweight
Target Positioner, Counterweight
### Predicate Device: BrainLAB LINAC Hardware (K934657)
Device Classification Name: Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system (892/6050) Requlatory Class; Class II
#### Intended Use:
The Target Positioner is used to position the patient for the stereotactic radiotherapy/ radiosurgery.
The optional usage of the Stereotactic Counterweight improves the accuracy of patient positioning during the treatment by compensating the Target Positioner after its removal.
#### Device Description:
The Target Positioner is a non-invasive mechanical device that consists of an aluminum frame and four Target Positioner Carrier Plates made of transparent plastics.
In order to ensure a rigid fixation to different types of Headring respectively to the BrainLAB Mask System, various Target Positioners with adapted interface specifications are provided. The Target Positioner enables alignment of the planned patient's treatment isocenter with the LINAC Isocenter.
Prior to the treatment the Target Positioner has to be removed.

Dear Mr. Birkenbach:
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 (PMA), 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.
