The logo features a stylized globe on the left, followed by the company name in a sans-serif font. The words "MEDICAL SOLUTIONS" are printed in smaller letters below the company name. The logo is black and white. #### www.civco.com The technological differences between the proposed device and the Fraxion™ (K112210) predicate device include differences in design and materials. Both devices feature a frame as the fundamental component, but on the Fraxion ™ device a frontpiece completes the arch over the patient and this frontpiece directly receives the mouthpiece. On the proposed device, a frame arm extends perpendicularly from the arch from which a second arm extends and receives the bite cup and bite tray. In both devices a dental impression is created using putty, but on the Fraxion™ device this is secured to the mouthpiece using adhesive whereas on the proposed device the dental impression is formed directly to the bite tray. In the Fraxion™ device, the mouthpiece is fixed to the patient's maxilla using a vacuum. A patient control unit provides this vacuum and delivers an alert when the mouthpiece is loosened. The proposed device features a nasion cushion positioned snugly against the patient's nose. Both devices work with a cushion (head support) under the patient's head and a thermoplastic mask to provide immobilization over the head. A stereotactic frame with fiducials is utilized as part of the Fraxion™ system. The Fraxion™ device is comprised of carbon fiber whereas the materials that comprise the proposed device were selected with MR safety considerations. The indications for use/intended use of the Fraxion™ predicate device does not specify use in the MR environment. Otherwise the indications for use of the Fraxion™ predicate are substantially similar to that of the proposed device including immobilization, positioning, and re-positioning of the head during SRT and SRS in a linear accelerator environment. Both devices are also used to immobilize and position the head during image acquisition to support treatment planning. ## F. Non-Clinical Testing and White Paper on European Site Testing CIVCO has conducted non-clinical testing to demonstrate that the design and materials do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device in the MR environment. MR compatibility test methodology generally followed ASTM Standards F2182-11a. F2119-07, F2052-06e1 and F2213-06, but modifications were made to accommodate the large size of several of the proposed devices and to accommodate their external use (not implanted). The devices passed the acceptance criteria for RF heating, magnetic induced torque, and magnetically induced displacement force and demonstrate that the device is safe for use in the MR environment. Image artifact was observed, but these artifacts were localized. Information regarding location and size of the artifacts has been included in the Instructions for Use. Biocompatibility testing was also completed for patient contacting materials. CIVCO also prepared a white paper on data collected by the University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland on the trUpoint ARCH™ device. This paper documented, based on Zurich's data, that the device immobilizes patients within 1 mm during treatment (intrafraction). This paper also documented, based on Zurich's data, that when comparing CT simulation images to daily image matching, the trUpoint ARCH device is equivalent to a competitor system with respect to interfraction patient shifts. This data is pending publication by the University Hospital Zurich. | Corporate Headquarters | 102 First Street South | Kalona, IA 52247 | USA | | P 319.248.6757 | | F 319.248.6660 | |------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|-----------------|--|---------------------|--|---------------------| | Coralville Office | 2301 Jones Blvd. | Coralville, IA 52241 | USA | | P 319.248.6757 | | F 319.248.6660 | | Europe Office | Pasteurstraat 6 | 2811 DX Reeuwijk | The Netherlands | | P +31(0) 182.394495 | | F +31(0) 182.395014 | | Orange City Office | 1401 8th Street SE | Orange City, IA 51041 | USA | | P 712.737.8688 | | F 712.737.8654 | {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for CIVCO Medical Solutions.
