510(k) Predicate Finder
Find potential predicate devices for your 510(k) submission. Enter a K-number to find all clearances with the same product code, a three-letter product code to browse clearances directly, or search by device name.
Radiological Image Processing Software For Radiation Therapy
Radiology
Radiological Image Processing Software For Radiation Therapy is a Class 2 radiology software device that uses artificial intelligence, including nonadaptive machine learning algorithms, to provide semi-automatic or fully-automated radiological image processing and analysis tools in radiation therapy workflows; primary radiation dose calculation or plan optimization is explicitly outside its scope. It requires 510(k) clearance and is regulated under 21 CFR 892.2050 within the Radiology medical specialty. The product code is QKB. The device is not an implant and is not flagged as life-sustaining.

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
