Intended Use
Use of the Axxent Radiation Shield - Rigid is indicated in cases in which protection of tissue and/or organs from x-radiation is desired. The Axxent Radiation Shield - Rigid can be used externally and internally, such as during intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) when the treatment site is exposed surgically.
Device Description
The Axxent Radiation Shield - Rigid is an optional radiation shielding accessory to the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System (cleared under K072683) intended to protect tissue and/or organs from unwanted radiation. It is a rigid stainless steel pad placed over the area requiring shielding. It can be used on external patient surfaces, such as skin, as well internally during Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT). The Axxent Radiation Shield - Rigid is fabricated entirely from 316L stainless steel (UNS S31603, ASTM A240/A240M). The shield is available in circular and ellipsoidal shapes in a range of various sizes. The Axxent Radiation Shield - Rigid is provided non-sterile and can be reused. The user must sterilize the device using steam sterilization before each use.
More Information

No
The device is a passive, rigid stainless steel shield and the summary contains no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a radiation shield aimed at protecting tissues and organs from unwanted radiation exposure, rather than directly treating a condition or disease.

No

The device is described as a radiation shield intended to protect tissue and organs from x-radiation, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a rigid stainless steel pad, which is a physical hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Axxent Radiation Shield - Rigid is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to protect tissue and organs from x-radiation during radiation therapy. This is a therapeutic and protective function performed in vivo (within the living body), not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the living body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical shield made of stainless steel. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples or the detection of substances within those samples, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological specimens.
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes (e.g., proteins, DNA, antibodies).
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases.

The Axxent Radiation Shield - Rigid is a medical device used in conjunction with a radiation therapy system for the purpose of shielding, which is a therapeutic/protective intervention, not a diagnostic one.

Dear Mr. Lin:

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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

5

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
