- **Attributes:** Software as a Medical Device

## Indications for Use

The software is used to electronically import CT images containing the target to be irradiated, to determine the precise location of the target with respect to implanted fiducials, to define and visualize treatment beam locations, and to visualize dose to the target and other structures.

## Device Story

pReference IMRT Treatment Planning Module is a software-based tool for radiation therapy planning. It imports CT images; identifies target locations relative to implanted fiducials; defines treatment beam geometry; and visualizes radiation dose distribution across targets and surrounding structures. Used by clinicians in clinical settings to assist in planning Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). Output informs treatment delivery decisions, enabling precise radiation targeting to benefit patients with specified intracranial and extracranial tumors.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-based treatment planning module. Functions as an add-on to existing pReference systems. Operates on standard clinical computing hardware. Performs image import, spatial registration, beam definition, and dose visualization.

## 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.

Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 MUJ Dated: December 20, 2001 Received: December 21, 2001

Dear Dr. Myers:

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 additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
