Intended Use
BrachySource® Seed Implants are indicated for permanent interstitial treatment of selected localized tumors such as: head and neck, lung, pancreas, and early stage prostate. BrachySource® Seed Implants may be used in superficial, intra-abdominal, and intra-thoracic locations. BrachySource® Seed Implants are indicated to treat residual ournors following completion of a course of external radiation therapy and for recurrent tumors.
Device Description
BrachySource® Seed Implants consist of a welded titanium capsule containing lodine-125 absorbed onto a nickel/copper coated, gold cored aluminum wire. The implants are nominally 4.5mm long by 0.8mm in diameter. lodine-125 has a half-life of 59.6 days and decays by electron capture with the emission of characteristic photons and Auger electrons. The principal photon emissions are 27.4 and 31 keV x-rays and a 35.5 keV gamma. The tifanium wall of the BrachySource Seed Implant absorbs the electrons.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a radioactive seed implant for brachytherapy and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for the "permanent interstitial treatment of selected localized tumors," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is a Brachytherapy Seed Implant used for treating tumors with radiation, not for diagnosing them.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a welded titanium capsule containing Iodine-125 absorbed onto a wire, which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a radioactive seed implant used for internal radiation therapy to treat tumors within the body. It is implanted directly into the tissue.
  • Lack of Specimen Examination: The device does not involve the examination of specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the BrachySource® Seed Implants are a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
