Intended Use
BrachySource® Seed Implants are indicated for permanent interstitial treatment of selected localized tumors such as: head and neck, lung, pancreas, and early stage prostate. BrachySource® Seed Implants may be used in superficial, intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic locations. BrachySource® Seed Implants are indicated to treat residual tumors following a course of external radiation therapy and for recurrent tumors.
Device Description
BrachySource® Seed Implants consist of a welded titanium capsule containing lodine-125 absorbed onto a nickel/copper coated, gold cored aluminum wire. The implants are nominally 4.5mm long by 0.8mm in diameter. lodine-125 has a half-life of 59.6 days and decays by electron capture with the emission of characteristic photons and Auger electrons. The principal photon emissions are 27.4 and 31 keV x-rays and a 35.5 keV gamma. The titanium wall of the BrachySource® Seed Implant absorbs the electrons.

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical characteristics and radioactive properties of the seed implants, with no mention of AI or ML technology. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as "permanent interstitial treatment of selected localized tumors" and is used to "treat residual tumors following a course of external radiation therapy and for recurrent tumors," indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is a BrachySource® Seed Implant used for permanent interstitial treatment of selected localized tumors, indicating a therapeutic purpose rather than a diagnostic one. It contains Iodine-125 for radiation therapy.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of titanium containing Iodine-125, which is a hardware component.

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 BrachySource® Seed Implants are for the "permanent interstitial treatment of selected localized tumors." This describes a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a radioactive implant designed to deliver radiation directly to a tumor. This is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

In summary, the BrachySource® Seed Implants are a therapeutic device used for treating cancer, not a diagnostic device used for testing samples.

§ 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.
