Indications for Use
Radiance V3 is a software system intented for treatment planning and analysis of radiation therapy administered with devices suitable for intraoperative radiotherapy. The treatment plans provide treatment unit set-up parameters and estimates of dose distributions expected during the proposed treatment, and may be used to administer treatments after review and approval by the intended user. The system functionality can be configured based on user needs. The intended users of Radiance V3 shall be clinically qualified radiation therapy staff trained in using the system.
Device Story
Radiance V3 is a software-only treatment planning system (TPS) for intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). It imports patient CT images; allows manual or semi-automatic contouring of regions of interest; enables definition of treatment objectives and setup parameters. The system computes dose distributions using various algorithms (Pencil Beam, Monte Carlo, Hybrid Monte Carlo, Dose Painting) based on the specific radiation device (e.g., INTRABEAM, NOVAC, LIAC, MOBETRON, or conventional LINACs). Clinicians review and approve the generated treatment plans, which include unit setup parameters and dose estimates. The software facilitates DICOM/PACS integration for data exchange. It is used in clinical settings by trained radiation therapy staff to assist in planning radiation delivery; it does not directly control the radiation delivery device. The system benefits patients by providing accurate, personalized dose distribution estimates to optimize radiation therapy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Validation performed via bench testing, including over 150 verification tests covering new functionality, risk mitigation, and regression testing. Accuracy of dose calculation algorithms validated using simulated clinical setups and phantom measurements. Compliance with IEC 61217, IEC 62083, and IEC 62366 standards demonstrated.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only treatment planning system. Features 3D dosimetry engine; algorithms include Pencil Beam, Monte Carlo, Hybrid Monte Carlo, and Dose Painting. Connectivity via DICOM/PACS (query/retrieve, storage SCP, RT Structures/Dose export). Complies with IEC 61217, IEC 62083, and IEC 62366. Major level of concern software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for treatment planning and analysis of intraoperative radiation therapy in patients with malignancies, to be used by clinically qualified radiation therapy staff.

# 3. PREDICATE DEVICE
K133655 Predicate Devices: Radiance V2 (cleared 01/31/2015) This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall. No reference devices were used in this submission.
# 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Radiance V3 is a treatment planning system, that is, a software program for planning and analysis of radiation therapy plans. Typically, a treatment plan is created by importing patient images obtained from a CT scanner, defining regions of interest either manually or semi-automatically, deciding on a treatment setup and objectives, optimizing the treatment parameters, comparing alternative plans to find the best compromise, computing the clinical dose distribution, approving the plan and exporting it.
Radiance V3 improvements over Radiance V2 (K133655) are:
- A Hybrid Monte Carlo dose computation algorithm for photons for the ● INTRABEAM.
- . A beam modeling tool which models and verifies the treatment unit model with measurements for the INTRABEAM.
- . An improved DICOM interface including PACS query&retrieve functionality. Storage SCP and DICOM.RT Structures and Dose exportation.
The list of compatible IOERT/IORT devices are:
- Intrabeam (a Carl Zeiss product) ●
- . NOVAC7 and NOVAC11 (a SIT product)
- . LIAC10 and LIAC12 (a SIT product)
- MOBETRON (an IntraOp Medical product)
- . Conventional LINACs with adapted cylindrical IOERT applicators (telescopic or fixed ones).
Radiance V3 has been tested with Elekta/Precise and Varian/21EX LINACs with particular IOERT cylindrical telescopic applicators.
{4}------------------------------------------------
Characteristics of radiance include:
- 1. Image manipulation and visualization
- 2. IORT applicator simulation
- 3. Contouring manual and interpolation tools
- 4. Dose calculation algorithms, including:
- a. For Intrabeam, Dose Painting for a fast (a few seconds) interpolation of PDD around the applicator or Hybrid Monte Carlo for a good combination of computation time (a few minutes) and accuracy.
- b. For IOERT, pencil beam for a fast (less than one minute) calculation of the dose or Monte Carlo for a good combination of computation time (between 1-10 minutes in most of the cases) and accuracy.
- 5. Reporting.
- 6. DICOM & DICOM.RT compatibility
## 5. INDICATIONS FOR USE
Radiance V3 is a software system intended for treatment planning and analysis of radiation therapy administered with devices suitable for intraoperative radiotherapy.
The treatment plans provide treatment unit set-up parameters and estimates of dose distributions expected during the proposed treatment, and may be used to administer treatments after review and approval by the intended user.
The system functionality can be configured based on user needs.
The intended users of Radiance V3 shall be clinically qualified radiation therapy staff trained in using the system.
### 6. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH PREDICATE DEVICE
| Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics | The technological characteristics are essentially the same as<br>those of the predicate.<br><br>Both devices produce treatment plans with corresponding dose<br>distributions computed using a three dimensional dosimetry<br>engine. Both devices have a function of electronic approval of<br>treatment plans by trained and authorized staff, and export in<br>DICOM format for commencing treatment or archiving. |
|------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Substantial<br>Equivalence | From the standpoint of both functionality and workflow the<br>Radiance V3 device is substantially equivalent to the identified<br>predicate as follows:<br>• Within Radiance V3 and its predicate Radiance V2, the user<br>can adjust parameters to achieve a predicted outcome, rather<br>than make a decision intra-operatively.<br>• Radiance V3 and its predicate Radiance V2 are designed to<br>analyze and plan radiation treatments in three dimensions for<br>the purpose of treating patients with malignancies. |
{5}------------------------------------------------
- Radiance V3 and its predicate Radiance V2 provide treatment plans with estimates of dose distributions expected during the proposed treatment, and may be used to administer treatments after review and approval by qualified medical personnel.
- · Radiance V3 and its predicate Radiance V2 use externally acquired medical images and user input to achieve the result.
The Radiance V3 dose distribution computation algorithms are identical to those implemented in Radiance V2 except for Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for INTRABEAM that has been added. Radiance V2 dose calculation algorithm is what we call 'Dose Painting' which is an interpolation of the PDD around the applicator (assuming isotropy). Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm corrects the dose according to the tissue density which provides a more accurate simulation of the dose received to the tissue. Verification tests were written and executed to ensure that the system is working as designed. Over 150 tests were executed, including tests to verify requirements for new product functionality, tests to ensure the risks mitigation functions as intended, and regression tests to ensure continued safety and effectiveness of existing functionality. Radiance V3 passed testing and was deemed safe and effective for its intended use.
### 7. PERFORMANCE DATA
| Non Clinical Data | Validation and Verification Testing carried out on the Radiance V3 indicates that it meets its predefined products requirements and requirements from the following product standards:<br>• IEC 61217 Radiotherapy equipment - Coordinates, movements and scales<br>• IEC 62083 Medical electrical equipment - Requirements for the safety of radiotherapy treatment planning systems<br>• IEC 62366 Medical devices - Application of usability engineering to medical devices |
|-------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Clinical Data | Clinical trials were not performed as part of the development of this product. Clinical testing on patients 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. Validation testing involved simulated clinical workflows, and algorithm testing which validated the accuracy of dose calculation functions using a simulated clinical setup. The product was deemed fit for clinical use. |
{6}------------------------------------------------
Item 4b of Table I in the FDA Guidance document entitled, Software Verification "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for and Validation Software Contained in Medical Devices asks, "Does the Software Testing Device control the delivery of potentially harmful enerqy that could result in death or serious injury, such as radiation treatment systems..." Radiance V3 does not directly control the linear accelerator that delivers the radiation. Once completed, plans are reviewed and approved by qualified clinicians and may be subject to quality assurance practices before treatment actually takes place. There is no automatic link between the Radiance V3 software and the linear accelerator. However, should a flaw in the treatment plan escape the notice of the qualified professionals using the Radiance V3 system, serious injury or death could result. Therefore, we believe Radiance V3 to be of major level of concern.
### 8. CONCLUSION
The information discussed above demonstrates that the Radiance V3 device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
