Indications for Use

The PEREGRINE Radiation Therapy Dose Calculation System is intended to be used for radiation therapy in conjunction with a Radiation Treatment Planning system to calculate dose distributions. It is to be used by the physician and/or other competent health professional for clinical review and judgement of radiation treatment plans. The goal of the protections is to produce consistent highly accurate dose calculations using the Monte Carlo algorithms.

Device Story

PEREGRINE is a 3-D Monte Carlo radiation transport system for radiation therapy treatment planning. It models accelerator beam production, beam modifiers, and radiation transport within patient heterogeneities. The system operates on standard computer microprocessors and integrates with commercial radiation treatment planning systems. It is used by radiation oncologists, medical physicists, therapists, or dosimetrists in clinical settings to generate accurate dose distributions. Healthcare providers use these outputs to review and judge treatment plans before patient irradiation. By providing high-resolution, accurate dose calculations, the device assists in optimizing radiation delivery, potentially improving treatment precision and patient outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification and validation were performed using a comprehensive set of clinical measurements designed to stress physics algorithms across a range of materials, densities, and beam energies (open, blocked, wedged, and compensated fields). Testing included simple phantoms and phantoms with surface/sub-surface heterogeneities. Hazard analysis and design reviews were conducted to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics

3-D Monte Carlo radiation transport system. Interfaces with radiation treatment planning systems via industry standard protocols. Operates on commercial computer microprocessors. Developed under formal design controls and quality system regulations.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, or dosimetrists to calculate dose distributions for radiation therapy treatments employing radiation sources and beam modifiers, for clinical review and judgement prior to patient treatment.

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.

(a) (3) Predicate device:

(a) (1) Submitter's name:

The PEREGRINE Radiation Therapy Dose Calculation System is a 3-D Monte Carlo radiation transport system designed to provide accurate dose calculations for radiation therapy treatment planning. PEREGRINE combines Monte Carlo-based modeling of the accelerator beam production system, Monte Carlo simulation of treatment-specific beam modifiers and Monte Carlo transport in the patient to provide a robust and accurate representation of the radiation source, beam modifiers and heterogeneities in the patient. PEREGRINE has been designed to provide highly accurate, high resolution radiation dose calculations rapidly on economical, commercially available computer microprocessors and to be easily integrated with commercial radiation treatment planning systems. In order to ensure its accuracy, PEREGRINE has been verified against a comprehensive set of clinical measurements designed to stress the physics algorithms for a full range of clinically relevant materials, densities and beam energies for open, blocked, wedged and compensated fields incident on both simple phantoms and phantoms with a variety of surface and sub-surface heterogeneities.

(a) (5) Intended use:

The PEREGRINE Radiation Therapy Dose Calculation System is intended to be used for radiation therapy in conjunction with a Radiation Treatment Planning system to calculate dose distributions. It is to be used by the physician and/or other competent health aooo alombation clinical review and judgement of radiation treatment plans. The goal of the protections is to produce consistent highly accurate dose calculations using the Monte Carlo algorithms.

(a) (6) Technological characteristics:

The PEREGRINE Radiation Therapy Dose Calculation System is designed to interface to radiation treatment planning systems using industry standard protocols. It was developed and tested using Quality system design control and product release procedures.

(b) (1) Non-clinical tests submitted:

The PEREGRINE Radiation Therapy Dose Calculation System was developed and tested using the design controls set forth in the NOMOS Corporation Quality System. Some aortions of the system were developed and tested at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories using design controls set forth in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Quality System. This system was audited by NOMOS and found to be compliant with the requirements of the NOMOS Quality System as well as the regulatory requirements of the FDA Quality System Regulations and EC Medical Device Directive. It has a product specification, which was used as the basis for the development of verification and validation plans, tests and acceptance criteria. A rigorous hazard analysis also was performed, which includes mitigation for each identified hazard. Verification and validation tests were completed in accordance with the test plans. They prove that the PEREGRINE Radiation Therapy Dose Calculation System meets the design criteria and user needs. Design reviews were conducted at appropriate stages of development.
