The applicators presented in this 510(k) notification have been developed to function as Remote After-Loader sealed sources in the intracavitary treatment of cancer of the vagina and cervix.
Device Description
The Mick Radio-Nuclear Instruments, Inc. HDR compatible Tandem and Ovoid Applicators are intended for use in HDR Brachytherapy as described for the predicate device (Cervix Applicator, Varian Medical Systems, K033371). The design of these systems is the similar to that of the predicate devices listed below. The delivery of radiation therapy to cervix via high dose rate Brachytherapy requires the ability to properly link the applicator to the HDR unit so that the radioactive source can be remotely positioned in the applicator along with the ability to properly localize the sealed sources at the treatment volume providing precise dosimetry and then a stable delivery system from which treatment can be administered. The Mick Radio-Nuclear HDR compatible Tandem and Ovoid Applicators are designed to act as such a device and utilize the same design as previously cleared for other applicators manufactured by Mick Radio-Nuclear Instruments (Vaginal Applicator Set, Shielded, K001544, HDR Tandem/Ring Applicator with Rectal Retractor, K011657).
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical applicator for brachytherapy, focusing on its mechanical design and function in delivering radiation. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML details.

Yes
The device is described as an applicator for the "intracavitary treatment of cancer of the vagina and cervix," which clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an applicator used for delivering radiation therapy (brachytherapy) to cancer of the vagina and cervix. Its function is to position radioactive sources for treatment, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical applicator (Tandem and Ovoid Applicators) used in HDR Brachytherapy, which is a hardware component for delivering radiation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "intracavitary treatment of cancer of the vagina and cervix" using "Remote After-Loader sealed sources." This describes a therapeutic device used for delivering radiation therapy directly to a tumor site within the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical design and function of applicators used to position radioactive sources for brachytherapy. It discusses linking to an HDR unit, positioning sealed sources, dosimetry, and stable delivery. These are all characteristics of a therapeutic radiation delivery system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis. IVDs are designed to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, specifically for delivering radiation therapy, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.
