Intended Use
The CT/MRI Compatible Sure-guide Vaginal Cylinder Set is indicated for use in any patient case where High Dose Rate (HDR) radiation treatment of the vagina is acceptable by up-to-date clinical and practice guidelines. The CT/MRI Compatible Sure-guide Stump Vaginal Cylinder Set is indicated for use in any patient case where High Dose Rate (HDR) radiation treatment of the vagina is acceptable by up-to-date clinical and practice guidelines. The CT/MRI Compatible Miami HDR Set is indicated for use in any patient case where High Dose Rate (HDR) radiation treatment of the cervix, vagina, and uterus is acceptable by up-to-date clinical and practice guidelines.
Device Description
1. Vaginal The CT/MRI compatible Sure-guide Vaginal Cylinder Set design is based on conventional cylindrical HDR delivery systems with a click fit connector interface. This applicator is particularly useful in providing an HDR radiation as definitive treatment, adjuvant treatment, or as a treatment boost to the vaginal walls with or without external beam radiation therapy. The set consists of a precision manufactured Sure-guide cylinders of varied diameters for optimal radiation treatment delivery and anatomical customization. 2. Stump The CT/MRI Compatible Sure-guide Stump Vaginal Cylinder Set design is based on conventional cylindrical HDR delivery systems with a click fit connector interface. This applicator is particularly useful in providing an HDR radiation as definitive treatment, adjuvant treatment, or as a treatment boost to the vaginal walls with or without external beam radiation therapy. The set consists of a precision-manufactured Sure-guide Stump Cylinders of varied diameters for optimal radiation treatment delivery and anatomical customization. 3. Miami The CT/MRI Compatible Sure-guide Miami HDR applicator Set is designed according to the conventional modified Miami applicator with a click fit connector interface. This applicator is particularly useful when the vaginal vault space is limited or narrow due to tumor, restricted anatomy, or fibrosis. It can also be useful to treat tumors that extend from the uterus or cervix down onto the vaginal wall. The set consists of a precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a full set of variable diameter Miami cylinders (all components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry). The distance that the tandem is inserted can be customized for each case. Four differing tandems are provided: one straight, one slight curvature, one medium curvature, and one maximal curvature. These allow for maximal accommodation of the uterine flexure.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of the vaginal cylinder sets for HDR radiation treatment, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for image analysis, treatment planning, or other functions.

Yes
The devices are indicated for use in High Dose Rate (HDR) radiation treatment, which is a therapeutic intervention, and they are described as being used for "definitive treatment, adjuvant treatment, or as a treatment boost."

No

These devices are designed for High Dose Rate (HDR) radiation treatment delivery, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a "Set" consisting of "precision manufactured Sure-guide cylinders" and "intrauterine tandems," which are physical components used for radiation treatment delivery. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The descriptions clearly state that these devices are applicators used for delivering High Dose Rate (HDR) radiation treatment directly to anatomical sites (vagina, cervix, uterus). They are not used to analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue in a laboratory setting.
  • The intended use is therapeutic. The indications for use and device descriptions focus on the application of radiation for treatment purposes, not for diagnosis or monitoring of a disease state through in vitro analysis.
  • The input imaging modality (CT/MRI) is for guiding the placement of the device, not for analyzing a biological sample.

These devices fall under the category of therapeutic medical devices, specifically brachytherapy applicators.
