Intended Use
The HDR ProstateTemplate and Accessories are indicated for use as an accessory to commercially available high dose rate remote afterloading systems for prostate brachytherapy.
Device Description
The Photon Technologies HDR Prostate Template and Accessories are designed to work as accessories to commercially available high dose rate remote afterloader systems and consists of a template, plastic needles and needle obturators. The template is designed to mount on various ultrasound stepping devices and the grid of needle sized holes is compatible with the standard ultrasound image grid. The template is also designed with a simple locking mechanism for holding the needles in place and suture holes for suturing the template to the patient. The needle is a plastic tube that is closed to a sharp point at one end and equipped with a metal connector for attaching the needle to the remote afterloader transfer tube on the open end. The needle obturator is a spring temper metal rod that is inserted into the needle before use to straighten and stiffen it before implantation and to prevent damage between treatments or the possible entry of bodily fluids or other foreign matter. The HDR Prostate Template and Accessories are single use accessories that are provided unsterile and whose components are compatible with steam autoclave sterilization.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and their function as accessories for brachytherapy, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an "accessory to commercially available high dose rate remote afterloading systems for prostate brachytherapy," and its function is to position needles for treatment rather than directly delivering therapy itself.

No
This device is described as an accessory to high dose rate remote afterloading systems for prostate brachytherapy, used for holding needles in place during treatment. It facilitates therapy, rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (template, plastic needles, needle obturators) and their materials and functions, indicating it is a hardware device with accessories, not software only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The HDR Prostate Template and Accessories are used during a medical procedure (prostate brachytherapy) to guide and hold needles for delivering radiation. They are accessories to a remote afterloading system.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device itself does not analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and procedural.

The device is a surgical accessory used in a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Photon Technologies HDR Prostate Template and Accessories are intended to be used as accessories to commercially available high dose rate remote afterloader systems for prostate brachytherapy. The template allows the precision alignment, placement, and position retention of the HDR needles. The HDR needles and associated obturators provide a treatment path to the prescribed area for the radiation source while preventing the source from coming into contact with bodily fluids.

The HDR ProstateTemplate and Accessories are indicated for use as an accessory to commercially available high dose rate remote afterloading systems for prostate brachytherapy.
