More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (applicator sets and needles) used for brachytherapy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, DNN, or ML in the description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is described as being intended to "treat cancer", which is a therapeutic purpose. It utilizes radiotherapy treatments for various anatomical sites.

No

The device is described as an applicator set and needles for brachytherapy treatments, which is a form of radiation therapy to treat cancer, not diagnose it.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like applicators, probes, and needles, indicating it is a hardware device used in brachytherapy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to treat cancer of various anatomical sites (uterus, cervix, endometrium, vagina, head and neck, breast, prostate). This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical applicator set used for radiotherapy treatments. This involves delivering radiation to a patient, which is a treatment modality.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for the diagnosis of a disease. IVDs are designed to perform tests on these types of samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on non-clinical tests related to the device's physical properties, functionality, and safety (biocompatibility, sterilization, etc.). There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy or performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc., which are typical for IVDs.

In summary, the device is a therapeutic medical device used for delivering radiation treatment, not a diagnostic device used for analyzing samples to aid in diagnosis.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non Clinical Tests: Biocompatibility tests referenced ISO 10933-1:2009 and 510(k) Memorandum - #G95-1. Materials released no leachable cytotoxic materials, caused no reactions identified as sensitization, showed no irritant/corrosive effect. Requirements of BS EN ISO 10993-1:2003 and FDA#G95-1 have been met.

Sterilization and Shelf Life tests were undertaken on components representative of the Titanium Fletcher-style Applicator to verify cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization cycle effectiveness, and suitability of design and material for the proposed number of cycles.

Other Bench Testing was performed to demonstrate that the device functions correctly with VariSource and GammaMedplus afterloaders, can withstand the number of cycles expected in its lifetime, that materials are not significantly affected by radiation, and that positional accuracy is adequate. The effects of Magnetic Resonance Imaging on the device when in patent contact were assessed. Usability was assessed to the requirements of IEC 62366:2007. All tests met applied pass criteria.

Non Clinical Tests (Paragraph (b) (1))

Biocompatibility tests were selected by reference to ISO 10933-1:2009, Biologicol Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evoluation & Testing and 510(k) Memorandum - #G95-1 Initial Evaluation Tests for Consideration. The over- all results for the materials were as follows:

  • 1.Released no leachable cytotoxic materials
  1. Caused no reactions identified as sensitization
    1. Showed no irritant/corrosive effect
  1. Requirements of BS EN ISO 10993-1:2003 Biological evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1 and FDA#G95-1 have been met

Sterilization and Shelf Life tests have been undertaken on components that are representative of the Titanium Fletcher-style Applicator. The first group of tests was to verify that the proposed cleaning, disinfection and sterilization cycles were effective. The second was to verify the suitability of the design and material of the applicator components by inspecting for damage that might affect safety or effectiveness caused by the proposed number of cycles. In both types of test, components from other applicators that were representative of the components in the GM11006200 were used.

Other Bench Testing was performed to demonstrate that the device, functions correctly with both VariSource and GammaMedplus afterloaders; that the device can withstand the number of cycles of use that it will endure in its lifetime; that materials used are not significantly affected by the radiation they meet in the lifetime of the product; that the positional accuracy is adequate. The effects of Magnetic Resonance Imaging on the device when in patent contact were assessed. Usability was assessed to the requirements of IEC 62366:2007.

Dear Ms. Tran:

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

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.
