The document describes a physical brachytherapy source and its intended use, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or any of the "Mentions" sections.
Yes
The device is described as "a source of nuclear radiation for therapy" and is indicated for "treatment of selected localized tumors," which directly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is a brachytherapy source used for therapy (treatment of tumors), not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is comprised of polymeric materials and contains a radioactive isotope (Pd-103), indicating it is a physical medical 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 CivaStringPd103 is "to be placed into a body cavity or tissue as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy." This describes a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a brachytherapy source containing a radioactive isotope for treatment. This aligns with a therapeutic function.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status or disease. IVDs are designed for these purposes.
Therefore, CivaStringPd103 is a therapeutic device used for brachytherapy, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
CivaString"d103 is intended for medical purposes to be placed into a body cavity or tissue as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy.
CivaStringPd103 is indicated for use as a permanent interstitial brachytherapy source for the treatment of selected localized tumors. The device may be used either as the primary treatment or for treatment of residual disease after excision of the primary tumor. CivaString 4103 may be indicated for use concurrently with or sequentially with other treatment modalities, such as external beam radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

Device Description
CivaString" d103 is a linear LDR (low dose rate) brachytherapy source comprised of polymeric materials. CivaString 1103 contains Pd-103 isotope that is distributed into "wells" along the length of the device. Wells may be filled or left empty (to provide gaps in regions where no radiation is desired) based on the overall therapy plan prescription.

§ 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.

- CivaStringPd103 2. Name of Device: Common Name: Radionuclide Brachytherapy Source Classification Name: Brachytherapy Radionuclide Regulation 21 CFR 892.5730, Product Code KXK
Identification of device(s) to which the submitted claims equivalence: 3.
The CivaString 1103 is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:
- RadioMed™ Source by RadioMed Corporation, 510(k) K001070 �
- OptiSource103 by International Brachytherapy, Inc., 510(k) K040766 ●
- Readi-Strand Model PSStrand by Worldwide Medical Technologies, Inc., � 510(k) K023179
4. Device Description:
CivaString" d103 is a linear LDR (low dose rate) brachytherapy source comprised of polymeric materials. CivaString 1103 contains Pd-103 isotope that is distributed into "wells" along the length of the device. Wells may be filled or left empty (to provide gaps in regions where no radiation is desired) based on the overall therapy plan prescription.
5. Intended Use of the Device:
CivaString"d103 is intended for medical purposes to be placed into a body cavity or tissue as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy.
1
Indications for Use 6.
CivaStringPd103 is indicated for use as a permanent interstitial brachytherapy source for the treatment of selected localized turnors. The device may be used either as the primary treatment or for treatment of residual disease after excision of the primary tumor. CivaString 9103 may be indicated for use concurrently with or sequentially with other treatment modalities, such as external beam radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
7. Characteristics of the device in comparison to those of the predicate device(s)
When compared with the Intended Use and Indications for Use of the three (3) predicates, the Intended Use and Indications for Use does not change.
The design of each of the predicates and CivaString 8103 is a sealed source from which a therapeutic dosage of radioactive energy is delivered. The predicate devices use a sealed source in a "seed" configuration. CivaString"d103 is a sealed source in the form of a string and is linear versus current point sources.
The energy emitted from CivaStringPd103 is exactly the same as current Pd 103 sources: 20-23 keV x-rays.
8. Safety and Performance:
The difference between the CivaString" and the above mentioned predicate devices do not raise any questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of the device. The device, as designed, is as safe and effective as its predicate devices.
9. Conclusion
Based on the design, material, function and intended use discussed herein. CivaTech Oncology, Inc. believes the CivaString 8103 is substantially equivalent to predicate devices currently marketed under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Dear Ms. Smart:
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 (PMA), 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.

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 (OS) 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.
