Intended Use
The ATI Medical, Inc. IsoRod Pd-103 Radionuclide Brachytherapy Source is intended for permanent interstitial implantation for the treatment of selected localized tumors with low to moderate radiosensitivity. They are used either as primary treatment for tumors such as those of the head, neck, lung, intra-abdominal, pancreas, prostate, and unresectable tumors, or for residual disease after excision of primary or secondary tumors. IsoRod Pd-103 implants may be used concurrently with or following treatment with other interventions, such as external beam therapy or chemotherapy.
Device Description
The IsoRod implant is a permanently implanted, radioactive device, designed for the treatment of deep- seated tumors. IsoRod implants are comprised of base metallic rods that are coated with radioactive palladium. The radioactive palladium is then encapsulated with a metallic coating. The base rod is composed of a palladium/cobalt alloy. The rod is 1 millimeter and 10 millimeters in length. The thin layer (0.2 micron) that comprises the radioactive layer is a combination of radioactive and non-radioactive palladium (Pd-103 and Pd-102 respectively). The encapsulation layer of 6-8 microns is pure palladium, a metal that is utilized in permanent implants based on its favorable biocompatibility characteristics. The activity of each IsoRod implant is between 0.5 mCi and 3.0 mCi. The source is exceptionally isotropic based on the fact that the radioactive material is evenly deposited on the source and is shielded in every direction only by the thin layer of non-radioactive palladium.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and radioactive nature of the brachytherapy source. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance studies mentioned are related to dosimetry and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is described as "intended for permanent interstitial implantation for the treatment of selected localized tumors" and works by delivering radioactive palladium for therapeutic effect, directly treating diseases.

No
The device is described as a "Radionuclide Brachytherapy Source" intended for permanent interstitial implantation for the treatment of tumors. It uses radioactive palladium to treat deep-seated tumors, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is a physical, permanently implanted radioactive source, not a software-only device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of localized tumors through permanent interstitial implantation of a radioactive source. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a radioactive implant designed to deliver radiation directly to a tumor. This is a physical device used for treatment, not a reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis

The device is a therapeutic medical device used in brachytherapy.
