Indications for Use

The intended use for the Astroid Dosimetry application is to aid software developers in accessing calculation functions necessary in developing, analyzing, and testing proton radiation therapy software programs and algorithms. This device serves a foundational proton dosimetry calculation library that greatly reduces the burden and time required to develop treatment planning and plan analysis software by making readily available much of the core functionality common to these types of applications. These core functions will allow users to perform image processing, proton dose calculation, proton device design, and other plan review and analysis tasks.

Device Story

Astroid Dosimetry App is a foundational software library for proton radiation therapy planning; not an end-user application. Operates as a toolkit for developers to build custom scripts or programs for proton treatment planning. Inputs include CT image data and machine-specific proton beam models. Transforms inputs via core functions: CT image processing, structure/contour modification, proton dose calculation, and proton aperture/range compensator design. Outputs are programmatic results used by physicists/researchers to design/analyze treatment plans, perform secondary dose checks, and prepare treatment devices. Used in clinical or research environments by experienced programmers/physicists. Benefits include reduced development time for treatment planning software and standardized, validated calculation functions for proton therapy workflows.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Validation performed via clinically oriented test cases executed by .decimal personnel and hospital-based partners. Comparison of proton dose calculations and treatment delivery device designs against experimental and analytical datasets. Verification and validation testing confirmed performance equivalent to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Software library providing foundational proton dosimetry calculation functions. Features CT image processing, structure/contour modification, proton dose calculation, and aperture/range compensator design algorithms. Relies on machine-specific proton beam models. Functions as a programmatic toolkit for integration into custom software environments.

Indications for Use

Indicated for planning and analysis of proton radiation therapy treatments. Intended for use by experienced computer programmers, researchers, and physicists with strong working knowledge of proton radiation therapy and treatment planning processes to design/analyze proton treatment plans, modify structures/contours, analyze image data, and perform secondary dose calculation checks.

# Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known) K150547

Device Name Astroid Dosimetry App

#### Indications for Use (Describe)

The .decimal astroid Dosimetry App device is used for planning and analysis of proton radiation therapy treatments. The Dosimetry App serves as a tool which provides tested and validated calculation and design functions for use in other enduser applications. The Dosimetry App provides access to the functions that make up what is considered much of the core components of a typical proton treatment planning system. Through the use of these functions in user generated scripts or programs, users will be able to design and/or analyze proton treatment plans for regular fields using custom designed blocks and range compensators. Additionally, the functions provided by this device can also allow users to generate programs and scripts capable of performing treatment preparation and plan analysis tasks, such as structure/contour modification, image data analysis, and secondary dose calculation checks. Users should be experienced computer programmers, researchers, and physicists that contain a strong working knowledge of proton radiation therapy and general treatment planning processes.

# Device Description:

The .decimal Astroid Dosimetry App device is used for planning and analysis of proton radiation therapy treatments. The Dosimetry App device is not an interactive end user application. Users of the system will write scripts or fully interactive software programs that make calls to the functions provided by the Astroid Dosimetry App. In essence, this device serves a foundational proton dosimetry calculation library that greatly reduces the burden and time required to develop treatment planning and plan analysis software by making readily available much of the core functionality common to these types of applications. This core functionality includes various CT image processing tools, structure and contour modification operators, proton dose calculations, proton aperture and range compensator device design algorithms, and other low-level radiotherapy specific calculation functions.

#### Predicate Device(s):

Proton Vision 7.0 K002312 RayStation 3.5 K130617

# Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The astroid Dosimetry App technology is substantially equivalent to both the listed predicate devices. The astroid Dosimetry App, ProtonVision 7.0, and RayStation 3.5 all provide tools to calculate, analyze, and otherwise compare potential treatment plans for proton radiation therapy courses. All three systems allow for estimation of proton energy ranges, design of patient-specific treatment devices, and provide proton dose calculations that rely on machine specific proton beam models. While the predicate devices do also include functionality for direct display of results, this does not detract from the point that the underlying functions contained within all three systems are substantially equivalent.

## Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:

Clinical testing was not performed as part of the development of this product. Clinical testing is not advantageous in demonstrating substantial equivalence or safety and effectiveness of the device since testing can be performed such that no human subjects are exposed to risk. Clinically oriented validation test cases were written and executed by .decimal personnel and hospital-based testing partners. Validation tests comparing results of proton dose calculations, with the inclusion of all applicable treatment delivery devices, to experimental and analytical datasets were performed. Additional verification and validation tests were also performed for all other functions available for external use through the system. These tests show that the astroid Dosimetry App performed as well as the predicate devices and that the astroid Dosimetry App is deemed safe and effective for clinical use.
