No
The summary describes a physical medical device (applicator set) used in brachytherapy and mentions compatibility with imaging modalities and afterloaders, but there is no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as an "applicator for brachytherapy treatment" that "guides the radioactive source of the afterloader to the location where treatment is to be applied" for cancer, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as an applicator set for brachytherapy treatment, guiding a radioactive source to apply treatment. Its intended use is for gynecological brachytherapy treatment, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (applicator set with tubes and shielding) used in brachytherapy procedures, not a software-only product.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "gynecological brachytherapy treatment of the cervix and endometrium." This describes a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description clearly states the device is an "applicator" that "guides the radioactive source of the afterloader to the location where treatment is to be applied." This is a delivery system for radiation therapy, a treatment modality.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used to deliver treatment directly to the patient's body.

Device Description
The Fletcher CT/MR Shielded Applicator Set is a modification of the Fletcher Williamson Applicator Set (K983341). It is a gynecological applicator for brachytherapy procedures. The applicator uses one intrauterine tube and two ovoid tubes for treatment of the cervix and endometrium cancer. The tubes quide the radioactive source of the afterloader to the location where treatment is to be applied. Tungsten alloy shielding is incorporated in the ovoid to lower the dose in organs like rectum and bladder during treatment. The shielding position in the ovoid is adjustable, enabling CT imaging with few artifacts. For MR data acquisition and X-ray it is not necessary to move the shields. The Fletcher CT/MR Shielded Applicator Set is available in two variations and is compatible with Nucletron afterloaders and accessories.

Summary of Performance Studies
Validation of sterilization processes and biological evaluation was performed. The device was tested for use in the MR and CT environment. Bench testing (similar to bench testing done to the Legally Marketed Device) shows that the device meets its performance requirements, and that the modified device performance is equivalent to the marketed devices.

Tungsten allov shielding is incorporated in the ovoid to lower the dose in organs like rectum and bladder during treatment. The shielding position in the ovoid is adjustable, enabling CT imaging with few artifacts. For MR data acquisition and X-ray it is not necessary to move the shields.
The Fletcher CT/MR Shielded Applicator Set is available in two variations and is compatible with Nucletron afterloaders and accessories.
Intended use:
The Fletcher CT/MR Shielded Applicator Set is intended for gynecological brachytherapy treatment of the cervix and endometrium.
Summary of technological considerations:
The operating principle is the same as the marketed device. The modified design combines the characteristics of the marketed device (shielding in the ovoids) with materials that allow CT and MR imaging, enabling 3D treatment planning. The shielding position in the ovoid is adjustable, enabling CT imaging with few artifacts. For MR data acquisition and X-ray it is not necessary to move the shields. Ovoid and intrauterine dimensions of the modified device are comparable to the marketed devices.
Summary of testing:
Validation of sterilization processes and biological evaluation was performed. The device was tested for use in the MR and CT environment. Bench testing (similar to bench testing done to the Legally Marketed Device) shows that the device meets its performance requirements, and that the modified device performance is equivalent to the marketed devices.
Conclusion:
Nucletron considers the Fletcher CT/MR Shielded Applicator Set to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices through the data and information presented. No safety or effectiveness issues were identified.
