Description This Traditional 510(k) describes product enhancements for the Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC). The ABC is a flow meter device that allows radiation therapy patients to graphically observe the volume of air that enters and exits their lungs on a computer monitor. The patients are coached prior to the treatment and instructed to hold their breath when the volume of air entering or exiting their lungs reaches a predefined threshold volume. Accurate and reproducible timing of the breath hold period is aided by a patient controlled balloon valve which is connected to the flow meter device. Radiation is only delivered during the breath hold period. Radiation may be delivered by the therapist manually turning the beam on and off, or automatically by using the Elekta Limited Response™ gating interface (FDA 510(k) clearance number K123808, available separately from Elekta, Ltd., Crawley, UK). {1}------------------------------------------------ #### İntended Use ട. The Active Breathing Coordinator is indicated for use when there is a need to reduce the anatomical movement in the thorax and abdomen caused by breathing and cardiac motion. It is intended for breath-hold (BH) during simulation and delivery of External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) using photons, in single or multiple fractions, administered via static and/or dynamic delivery processes, in any and all areas of the body where such treatment is indicated. It also provides electrical prompts and status information for the Elekta Limited Response™ gating interface when automated gating of the linac is used. The Active Breathing Coordinator is specifically indicated for: - .a. Breast tumors, including total and partial breast irradiation techniques, where immobilized anatomy provided by deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) allows critical organ sparing, such as decreasing radiation dose to heart, lung and other surrounding normal tissue. - b. Lung cancers and other thoracic tumors (such as esophagus, lymphoma, and metastatic lesions) where immobilized anatomy provided by DIBH allows critical organ sparing, including reducing both dose and volume of irradiated normal tissue, and enabling potential reduction of tumor target margins. Also included is the use of linac-based Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) that may be employed to treat such lesions. - c.

The cnhanced ABC uses the same technology as its predicate device from Aktina Medical, the ABC K003330, with one exception. The enhanced ABC also supports automated gating of the treatment beam from a linear accelerator that contains the Elekta Ltd. Response linac gating interface option. The enhanced ABC clectrically prompts the Response to interrupt the linac beam and resume it at the appropriate times during the patient's breathing cycle. It also displays status information from the Elekta Response. The technology to support the Elekta Response is the same as the second predicate device listed above, the AK-733 Respiratory Gating System from Anzai Medical Company, Ltd. (K031385), which also electrically {2}------------------------------------------------ prompts a linear accelerator to turn the beam on and off at appropriate times during the patient's breathing cycle. The significant technology characteristics of the ABC arc: - a. Laptop personal computer software and external display monitor with graphical user interface. - b. Patient respiratory kit with an in-line transducer and balloon valve for air volume monitoring during patient breathing and lung volume stability during breath hold periods. The balloon valve is controlled pneumatically. #### 7. Performance Standards and Data The FDA under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act has not established performance standards for this product Hardware and software specification testing have been performed on the enhanced ABC to show that the verification, validation and safety requirements have been met. #### Biocompatibility 8. The patient contact components of the enhanced ABC are identical to the patient contact components of the ABC K003330, except that over-the-counter prism reading glasses may be used in place of a mirror system to allow the patient to see the monitor in a supine position. These components have been shown to be biocompatible for surface devices in contact with a skin or mucosal membrane with a contact duration of less than 24 hours. #### 9.
