Intended Use
The HDR CT Compatible Split Ring type applicator is indicated for use in any case where high dose rate Brachytherapy treatment of the cervix or uterus is an accepted clinical practice.
Device Description
The HDR CT Compatible Split Ring Applicator presented in this 510(k) notification has been developed to function for the positioning of HDR Remote After-Loader sealed sources in the treatment of cancer of the cervix or uterus. The design of these systems is similar to that of the predicate devices listed below. The delivery of radiation therapy via high dose rate Brachytherapy treatment of the cervix or uterus requires not only a stable system for precise dosimetry but also a reproducible and predictable geometry for positioning of the radioactive source under remote control. The HDR CT Compatible Split Ring Applicator is designed to act as such a device.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical applicator for positioning radioactive sources and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is described as an "applicator" for "high dose rate Brachytherapy treatment" of cancer, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as an "applicator" for positioning HDR Remote After-Loader sealed sources in the treatment of cancer. Its function is to provide a "stable system for precise dosimetry" and a "reproducible and predictable geometry for positioning of the radioactive source" for brachytherapy treatment, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It does not mention analyzing patient data to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical applicator (a split ring type applicator) used for positioning radioactive sources in brachytherapy. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "positioning of HDR Remote After-Loader sealed sources in the treatment of cancer of the cervix or uterus." This describes a therapeutic device used for delivering radiation therapy, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical function of the device in positioning radioactive sources for treatment. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples or in vitro testing.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Measuring biomarkers

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, specifically a brachytherapy applicator, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
