The Needle Applicator set (comprising the Needle Applicator and guide shaft) is indicated for use in combination with the INTRABEAM® System to intraoperatively administer radiation to tissue including irradiation of intracranial tumors.
The proposed device is a modification of the INTRABEAM® System with Balloon Applicator, K090584, incorporating a Needle Applicator and guide shafts that are used to open a tract for the positioning of the applicator for irradiation of turnors. The INTRABEAM® System that will be used with the new Needle Applicator accessory was most recently described in K090584. There are no modifications to the INTRABEAM® System hardware or software. The INTRABEAM® Core System consists of the following components: PRS500 Control Console, XRS4 X-ray source, User terminal. Components of the Needle Applicator set are as follows: 1) Inner Sterile Packaging, 2) 5 cm guide shaft, 3) 6 cm guide shaft, 4) Needle Applicator. The physical design of the Needle Applicator consists of a polycarbonate case which fits over the probe of the XRS 4 X-ray source, a stainless steel shaft, and a polyetherimide tip for the Applicator. The guide shafts are stainless steel.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the Carl Zeiss INTRABEAM® System with Needle Applicator. This document focuses on the non-clinical performance testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a study typically associated with AI/ML device approval which would include extensive clinical performance criteria and human reader studies.
Therefore, many of the requested categories related to clinical study design, AI performance, ground truth establishment for a training set, and expert adjudication are not applicable or not explicitly detailed in the provided content. This document primarily addresses the safety and functional performance of the hardware modification (Needle Applicator) to an existing radiation therapy system.
Here's an attempt to populate the requested table and information based on the provided text, indicating "Not Applicable" or "Not Specified" where the information is not present or not relevant to this type of submission.

Summary of Device and Study Context:
This 510(k) submission (K110590) is for a hardware accessory (Needle Applicator) to an existing X-ray radiation therapy system (INTRABEAM® System). The purpose of the submission is to demonstrate that the new accessory is substantially equivalent to previously cleared predicate devices. The "study" described is a series of non-clinical, laboratory-based tests (sterilization, performance/aging, biocompatibility) designed to ensure the safety, functionality, and compatibility of the Needle Applicator with the existing system and regulatory standards. It does not involve patient data, clinical trials, or AI/ML components, hence many of the specific questions are not relevant in this context.

Significant Physical and Performance Characteristics of the Device, such as Device Design, Material Used, and Physical Properties
The physical design of the Needle Applicator consists of a polycarbonate case which fits over the probe of the XRS 4 X-ray source, a stainless steel shaft, and a polyetherimide tip for the Applicator. The guide shafts are stainless steel.
5. INTENDED USE
The Needle Applicator set (comprising the Needle Applicator and guide shafts) is intended for use in combination with the INTRABEAM® System to intraoperatively administer radiation to tissue including irradiation of intracranial tumors.
6. Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to the\Predicate DEVICE
Carl Zeiss Meditec AG claims substantial equivalence of the INTRABEAM® System with Needle Applicator to the cited predicate device based on the intended use, design, fundamental technology, and operation characteristics.
{2}------------------------------------------------
7. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING AS BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The testing summarized below supports the claim of substantial equivalence to the cited predicate by indicating that the Needle Applicator is a sterile device which performs as designed after sterilization and is safe for its intended use as is the predicate device.
Sterilization Validation
Sterilization validation of the Needle Applicator was performed in compliance with AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11137-1:2006, Sterilization of health care products - Radiation - Part 1: Requirements for development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. Dose setting is performed in accordance with AAMI / ANSI/ISO 11137-2:2006, Sterilization of health care products - Radiation - Part 2: Establishing the sterilization dose, VDmax 25 method. Dosimetric release complies with AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11137-3:2006. Sterilization of health care products - Radiation - Part 3: Guidance on Dosimetric Aspects. The sterilization assurance level is 10 .
Performance Testing
The testing of the dosimetry of sterilized and aged INTRABEAM® Needle Applicator was performed to demonstrate that sterilization and accelerated aging exert no adverse effect on the INTRABEAM® Needle Applicator. Five samples were inspected visually before and after sterilization and accelerated aging. The functionality of Needle Applicators subjected to sterilization and accelerated aging equivalent to five years was tested by Carl Zeiss Meditec AG. All applicators passed the tests, were fully functional, and met the requirements of the engineering specifications.
Dosimetry testing of the PRS400 with the XRS probe (with sheath) compared to the INTRABEAM® System with Needle Applicator was conducted to demonstrate equivalence. The testing consists primarily of isotropy (radiation characteristics) and transfer functions (using a water phantom) using the same protocol used for past aging studies. The dose depth curves of the Needle Applicators tested matched those of the bare probe with sheath. The isotropy of the tested units met the criteria for passing the test.
