More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical applicator used in brachytherapy and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device delivers a prescribed radiation dose for treatment in brachytherapy procedures, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an accessory for delivering a prescribed radiation dose during brachytherapy procedures, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "expandable cylindrical device with radially positioned catheters" and is "provided sterile and is a single use device," indicating it is a physical 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 BioLucent Applicator is an accessory to remote afterloading equipment used during brachytherapy procedures. Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy, which is a medical treatment performed on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an expandable cylindrical device inserted into the target volume within the patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is clearly used in vivo (inside the body) as part of a therapeutic procedure.

Dear Mr. Campbell:

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 (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such 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.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo with the text "1906-2006" at the top. The letters "FDA" are in the center of the logo in a bold, sans-serif font. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in a cursive font. Three stars are arranged in a horizontal line below the word "Centennial". The logo appears to be a commemorative emblem for the centennial of the FDA.

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 this letter:

21 CFR 876.xxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
