Intended Use
The CT/MRI Compatible HDR Fletcher Type Applicator is indicated for use in any case where high dose rate (HDR) radiation treatment of the cervix and uterus is accepted by up-to-date clinical guidelines. The CT/MRI Compatible HDR Henschke Type Applicator is indicated for use in any case where high dose rate (HDR) radiation treatment of the cervix and uterus is accepted by up-to-date clinical guidelines.
Device Description
1. The CT/MRI Compatible HDR Fletcher Type Applicator Set™ design is based on the conventional modified Fletcher GYN applicator with a click fit connector interface. This applicator is particularly useful in providing an HDR radiation boost to the cervix and parametrical tissues in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy. The set consists of precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a pair of interlocking colpostats with Fletcher type unshielded ovoids ranging in size from 1cm to 3cm. All components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry. The distance between the ovoids is adjustable with a lock knob. Four different tandems are provided: one straight, one with a slight curvature of 15 degrees, one with medium curvature of 30 degrees, and one with a maximal curvature of 45 degrees. 2. The CT/MRI Compatible HDR Henschke Type Applicator Set™ design is based on the conventional modified Henschke GYN applicator with a click fit connector interface. This applicator is particularly useful in providing an HDR radiation boost to the cervix and parametrical tissues in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy. The set consists of precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a pair of interlocking colpostats with Henschke type unshielded ovoids ranging in size from 2cm to 3cm. All components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry. The distance between the ovoids is adjustable with a lock knob. Four different tandems are provided: one straight, one with a slight curvature of 15 degrees, one with medium curvature of 30 degrees, and one with a maximal curvature of 45 degrees.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of the applicators, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is used for high dose rate (HDR) radiation treatment, which is a therapeutic intervention for conditions of the cervix and uterus.

No

The device is an applicator used for delivering high dose rate (HDR) radiation therapy, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to deliver radiation, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as intrauterine tandems, colpostats, and ovoids, which are hardware. The performance studies also mention mechanical testing of finished devices.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this device is an applicator used for delivering high dose rate (HDR) radiation treatment directly to the cervix and uterus. This is a therapeutic device used in vivo (within the body) for treatment, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of biomarkers, or any other activity typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, specifically a brachytherapy applicator, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.
