Intended Use
The IsoAid Brachytherapy Kit is intended for the treatment of selected localized tumors. The devices are implanted as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy. The IsoAid Brachytherapy Kit is indicated for tumors that are localized, unresectable, or have low to moderate radiosensitivity.
Device Description
The IsoAid Brachytherapy Kit is a pre-sterilized kit containing brachytherapy needle and a custom-loaded strand (K013975) of seeds spaced at a precise distance within absorbable suture. The strand is optional, when no strand is requested the seeds and spacers are custom-loaded directly into the needle. A maximum total of 20 seeds and spacers can be loaded into a needle. The spacers (K010621) are made from the same material as the sutures. The stranded Pd-103 (K033770) and I-125 (K011205) implants are placed inside the needle. Bone Wax (K024372) is used at the tip of the need to keep the implants from falling out. The needle is made from 18-gauge stainless steel.

No
The device description and other sections do not mention AI, ML, or related concepts. The device is a physical kit for brachytherapy.

Yes.
The device is described as "intended for the treatment of selected localized tumors" and involves the use of "nuclear radiation for therapy."

No

The device is described as a brachytherapy kit intended for the treatment of localized tumors by implanting sources of nuclear radiation for therapy, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as needles, seeds, spacers, suture, and bone wax, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of localized tumors by implanting radioactive sources. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of needles, radioactive seeds, spacers, and suture material, all designed for direct implantation into the patient's body for radiation therapy.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The IsoAid Brachytherapy Kit is a therapeutic device used for direct treatment.
