Intended Use
This applicator is designed as an accessory to the Varisource System (Varian Associates K952913) and the Gammamed System (K891131/A) which uses a single radioactive source of Iridium-192 to treat cancer in a wide range of body sites. The Miami Applicator is placed in the vicinity of the cervix via the vagina just as described for the predicate device (Nucletron Miami Vaginal Applicator, K953946) and different diameter sleeves and interuterine tubes, can be optimized to best meet the clinical needs of the patient along with minimization of dose to the mucosa.
Device Description
The Mick Radio-Nuclear Instruments, Inc. HDR Miami Applicator is intended for use in Brachytherapy. The delivery of intra-cavitary radiation therapy requires not only proper visualization and localization of the applicator within the treatment volume, but precise dosimetry and a stable delivery system from which treatment can be administered. The Mick Radio-Nuclear HDR Miami Applicator meets these requirements.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical applicator used in brachytherapy and makes no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of data.

Yes
The device is used to treat cancer, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is an applicator used for delivering radiation therapy (brachytherapy) to treat cancer, not for diagnosing it. Its purpose is treatment administration, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "applicator" and describes its physical placement and components (sleeves, interuterine tubes), indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the applicator is designed as an accessory to systems that use a radioactive source to treat cancer. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the delivery of radiation therapy and the requirements for proper visualization, localization, dosimetry, and a stable delivery system for treatment. These are all related to therapy delivery.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to deliver radiation for treatment, which falls outside the scope of an IVD.
