No
The summary describes a physical applicator for brachytherapy, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development or validation.

Yes
The device is intended to deliver a prescribed radiation dose to a treatment area during brachytherapy procedures, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as an applicator kit that delivers a prescribed radiation dose during brachytherapy procedures, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Applicator Kit" with "multiple lumens" intended to provide "pathways" for radiation delivery. This describes a physical device, not software.

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 an accessory to remote afterloading equipment used during brachytherapy procedures to deliver radiation dose to a treatment area. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device's function is to facilitate the delivery of radiation for treatment.

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 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit/tray. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and 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 the labeling regulation, please contact the Office of Compliance at (204) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification''(21 CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150, or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh.dsma/dsmamain.html.
