Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical device (needle carrier) for brachytherapy and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is a needle carrier for radionuclide seeds, which are therapeutic, but the device itself is for introducing those seeds, not for providing therapy directly.

No
The device is described as a pre-sterilized needle carrier for radionuclide seeds for brachytherapy procedures, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It introduces substances into the body for treatment, not to identify or monitor conditions.

No

The intended use describes a "pre-sterilized needle carrier for radionuclide seeds," which is a physical device used in a medical procedure. There is no mention of software as the primary component or function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide a pre-sterilized needle carrier for introducing radionuclide seeds into the body for Brachytherapy procedures. This is an in vivo procedure (performed within a living organism), not an in vitro procedure (performed outside of a living organism, typically on samples like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description (or lack thereof): While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a device used directly on a patient.
  • Anatomical Site: The mention of the transperineal approach and prostate gland further confirms its use within the body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to deliver a therapeutic agent directly into the body.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Worldwide Medical Technologies Readi-Load intended use is to provide a pre-sterilized needle carrier for radionuclide seeds for the introduction of radionuclide seeds into the body for Brachytherapy procedures. The anatomical site is typically the transperineal approach in and around the prostate gland.

§ 892.5730 Radionuclide brachytherapy source.

(a)
Identification. A radionuclide brachytherapy source is a device that consists of a radionuclide which may be enclosed in a sealed container made of gold, titanium, stainless steel, or platinum and intended for medical purposes to be placed onto a body surface or into a body cavity or tissue as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A prostate seeding kit intended for use with a radionuclide brachytherapy source only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Mr. Terwilliger:

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.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:
