Inputs: mechanical chest/abdomen expansion detected via load cell (pressure changes) or laser sensor (distance to chest surface). Signals transmitted to sensor port, amplified, digitized, and sent to Wave Deck. Wave Deck converts signals to serial format for PC processing. PC monitors respiratory signals continuously; commands Wave Deck to output TTL gating signals when respiration reaches preset phase. Used in clinical settings (imaging/therapy suites) by medical staff. Output triggers external imaging or therapy devices to turn on/off based on respiratory cycle. Benefits: enables motion-managed radiation therapy and imaging by ensuring delivery occurs only during specific respiratory phases. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Device designed to meet EN-60601-1-1 (electrical safety) and EN-60601-1-2 (electromagnetic compatibility) requirements. ## Technological Characteristics Sensors: load cell (strain gauge) or laser sensor. Signal processing: amplification, digitization, serial conversion. Output: TTL gating signals. Connectivity: cable-based transmission to Wave Deck and PC. Standards: EN-60601-1-1, EN-60601-1-2. ## 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 - Varian RPM Respiratory Gating System ([K983629](/device/K983629.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Kaneko, Prepared: April 28, 2003 #### LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A. The AZ-733 Respiratory Gating System is substantially equivalent to the Varian RPM Respiratory Gating System, which was cleared for marketing by FDA on June 8, 1999 under K983629. #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION B. The AZ-733 Respiratory Gating System system employs a respiratory sensor which can be fixed directly to or nearly to a patient, and detects the respiratory motion changes according to the type of sensor, a load cell (standard) or laser sensor (optional). The Load Cell detects the mechanical expansion of the thoracic cavity resulting from the respiratory motion as the pressure changes of up/downward movement of the chest and abdomen. The Laser Sensor detects the distance change to the chest surface with the expansion of the thoracic cavity resulting from the respiratory motion of the chest and abdomen. The analog signals from the Respiratory Sensor are detected and transmitted to the Sensor Port. There those signals are amplified, converted into digital form, and then output through a cable to the Wave Deck. The Wave Deck processes the signals, changing them into serial format for transmission to the Personal Computer. The Personal Computer monitors the respiratory signals all the time and commands the Wave Deck to output the gating signals when those respiratory signals reach the preset phase of respiration. Those gating (TTL) signals are transmitted to diagnostic imaging apparatus like X-ray CT or radiation 000036 {1}------------------------------------------------ therapy equipment. K03/385 ### C. INTENDED USE The AZ-733 Respiratory Gating System is intended to be used with diagnostic x-ray or radiation therapy systems to gate these devices on and off when target points of the patient's respiratory cycle are within preset limits. ### D. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY The AZ-733 Respiratory Gating System has similar, but not identical, indications for use as the currently marketed Varian RPM Respiratory Gating System. The differences relate only to the specific characteristics of each device and do not change the intended diagnostic or therapeutic effect. The devices clearly have the same intended use the gating of radiation therapy devices through analysis of respiratory waveforms from The AZ-733 Respiratory Gating System has the "same the patient. technological characteristics" as the currently marketed Varian RPM device. The descriptive characteristics are sufficiently precise to assure substantial equivalence except in a few cases where performance data are provided. A comparison of these characteristics demonstrates substantial equivalence.1 ## TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS E. The technological characteristics of the sensors of the AZ-733 is somewhat different from the predicate device. The processing of the detected signals uses very similar technology. The sensor of the AZ-733 can be either a strain gauge or a laser sensor. The predicate device uses a video camera and image processing to follow movement. ### F. TESTING The device has been designed to the requirements of the EN-60601-1-1 for electrical safety and EN-60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility. Testing is currently under way and the device will not be marketed in the U.S. until the testing has been successfully completed. 1 The meaning of the terms "substantial equivalence" and "substantially equivalent" as used in this 510(k) is limited to the way they are defined in, and used by FDA in accordance with, Sections 513(f)(1) and 513(l)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. {2}------------------------------------------------ K031385 ## CONCLUSIONS G. This pre-market notification has demonstrated Substantial Equivalence as defined and understood in Sections 513(f)(1) and 513(i)(1) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and various guidance documents issued by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
