Intended Use
The needles are used for interstitial placement of gold seed markers. Once implanted, the gold markers serve as localization devices for the purpose of radiation therapy.
Device Description
The CP Medical Pre-waxed Needles with Gold Fiduciary Markers are designed for use in conjunction with conventional radiation therapy methods. The product consists of one (1) solid gold seed marker, loaded into a standard 17 or 18 gauge brachytherapy needle that has been preplugged with bone wax (CP Medical, K024372). The loaded needles are packaged individually or in groups of three. The packaged needles are sterilized via ethylene oxide.
More Information

No
The description focuses on a physical device (needles and gold markers) and its intended use for radiation therapy localization. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No.
The device acts as a localization device for radiation therapy and is not directly involved in treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a gold seed marker delivery system used for localization during radiation therapy, not for diagnosing a condition or disease. Its purpose is to assist in treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components: gold seed markers and brachytherapy needles. It is a hardware device used for implantation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the interstitial placement of gold seed markers for the purpose of radiation therapy localization. This is a therapeutic and localization procedure performed in vivo (within the body), not an in vitro (outside the body) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The device is a needle with a gold seed marker, designed for implantation into tissue. This is a medical device used for a procedure, not a reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is clearly intended for a procedural application related to radiation therapy, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

§ 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.

The loaded needles are packaged individually or in groups of three. The packaged needles are sterilized via ethylene oxide.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison: The CP markers are compared to the gold "Radiopaque Marker" offered by Best Medical International, Inc. The two devices use equivalent materials and packaging.

Design Verification: The testing and verification activities performed for this product include sterilization validation and package validation. Product integrity was previously performed on the pre-waxed needles.

Conclusion: The results of verification testing confirmed that design inputs were achieved and that the CP Markers are substantial equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Cortelloni:

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.

Above the acronym, the years "1906-2006" are displayed, indicating a centennial celebration. Below the acronym, the word "Centennial" is written in a cursive font. The entire design is surrounded by a circular border with stars and text, possibly the name of the organization or event.

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:
