Indications for Use
The Eclipse Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS) is used to plan radiotherapy treatments with malignant or benign diseases. Eclipse TPS is used to plan external beam irradiation with photon, electron and proton beams, as well as for internal irradiation (brachytherapy) treatments. In addition, the Eclipse Proton Eye algorithm is specifically indicated for planning proton treatment of neoplasms of the eye.
Device Story
Eclipse TPS is a computer-based software tool used by trained medical professionals to design and simulate radiation therapy treatments. It ingests patient imaging data (CT, MR, PET) to facilitate treatment planning for external beam (photon, electron, proton) and internal (brachytherapy) radiation. The system provides tools for image registration, segmentation, dose calculation (including GPU-accelerated options), and plan evaluation. Clinicians use the output to design radiation delivery plans, which are then exported to treatment delivery systems. The device aids in optimizing dose distribution to target volumes while sparing healthy tissue, potentially improving treatment precision and patient outcomes. It operates within a clinical environment, integrating with systems like ARIA RadOnc via DICOM RT standards.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation performed for all new features and regression testing for existing features. System requirements traced to test outcomes. No safety-intolerable discrepancy reports remained.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based treatment planning system. Features GPU-calculation for optimization/dose, multi-criteria optimization (MCO), and knowledge-based contouring. Supports DICOM RT, ARIA integration, and scripting APIs (ESAPI). Algorithms include AcurosXB, AcurosPT, AcurosBV, and electron Monte Carlo. Operates on standard clinical computing hardware.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with malignant or benign diseases requiring radiotherapy. Used for planning external beam irradiation (photon, electron, proton) and internal irradiation (brachytherapy). Eclipse Proton Eye algorithm indicated for proton treatment planning of ocular neoplasms.
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.

Dear Mr. Coronado:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in
