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. ## 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 - BrainLAB LINAC Hardware ([K934657](/device/K934657.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

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. {1}------------------------------------------------ K073018 pg. 2 of 2 The usage of the Stereotactic Counterweight improves the accuracy of patient positioning during the treatment by compensating the weight of the Target Positioner after its removal. #### Substantial equivalence: The Target Positioner has been verified and validated according to BrainLAB's procedures for product design and development. The validation proves the safety and effectiveness of the system. The information provided by BrainLAB in this 510 (k) application was found to be substantially equivalent with the predicate device BrainLAB LINAC Hardware (K934657). {2}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
