Intended Use
The Kuske Breast Applicator Set has the same intended use as the legally marketed predicate device cited: Nucletron Kuske Breast Applicator Set is intended for use with Interstitial breast brachytherapy procedures involving the Nucletron remote afterloading equipment: mHDR, mHDR-Classic, mPDR and mLDR. The applicator provides a means of delivering the prescribed radiation dose to the treatment area. The applicator is a closed system to prevent the radioactive source from coming in contact with body fluids.
Device Description
The purpose of the Modification of the Device is to is to provide a tool for guiding the needles on a well determined position through the breast. The Kuske Breast Applicator Set is based on the microSelectron HDR V2 Breast Template for interstitial breast treatment. The template has been slightly modified in shape and hole alignment to accommodate dimensions of the breast. The main shape of the Kuske Breast Applicator is a bridge supporting 2 templates which will be positioned at both sides of the breast. Each template contains well dimensioned holes which quide the needles in a straight way through the breast. Coordinates for each hole provide position information. The needles are exchanged after placing the flexible implant catheters, which will be connected to the afterloader. The material for the Kuske Breast Applicator has been changed, to accommendate the use of CT/MR techniques. The Kuske Breast Applicator Set uses similar materials as the legally marketed predicate device cited (MicroSelectron HDR V2: CT/MR Ring Applicator). With respect to the the legally marketed predicate device cited (MicroSelectron HDR V2: Breast Template), the shape has been changed and the number of holes has been increased to accommendate better needle placement. The Kuske Breast Applicator Set is an accessory to the microSelectron-HDR (V2).
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and material changes of a physical applicator for guiding needles in brachytherapy, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used to deliver a prescribed radiation dose for the treatment of breast cancer, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an applicator set used for delivering radiation therapy, specifically brachytherapy, to the breast. Its purpose is to guide needles for radiation delivery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical applicator set made of materials, with a specific shape, holes for guiding needles, and intended for use with physical brachytherapy equipment. It is a hardware device.

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 device is for use in "Interstitial breast brachytherapy procedures" and provides a "means of delivering the prescribed radiation dose to the treatment area." This describes a therapeutic procedure involving radiation delivery, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical applicator used to guide needles for radiation delivery within the breast. It mentions guiding needles, placing catheters, and connecting to an afterloader. These are all components of a radiation therapy delivery system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, urine, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on in vitro testing.

In summary, the Kuske Breast Applicator Set is a medical device used for delivering radiation therapy, which is a therapeutic intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
