Intended Use
The 3D Interstitial Ring Applicator Sets (60° and 90°) and the Ring Applicator Sets (45°, 60° and 90°) are intended for use for cancer treatment of the vagina, cervix, and uterus using HDR or PDR brachytherapy.
Device Description
The 3D Interstitial Ring Applicator Sets (60° and 90°), are applicators for intracavitary or intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy using Gamma rays from a radioactive source placed at locations close to or within a tumor or other treatment area to a predefined treatment plan. The treatment plan defines the positions and times for the source to ensure the correct dose for the treatment area. The applicator acts to guide the radioactive source to the correct location or locations for treatment. The Ring Applicator Sets (45°, 60° and 90°), are applicators for intracavitary brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy using Gamma rays from a radioactive source placed at locations close to or within a tumor or other treatment area to a predefined treatment plan. The treatment plan defines the positions and times for the source to ensure the correct dose for the treatment area. The applicator acts to guide the radioactive source to the correct location or locations for treatment.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical applicator device used to guide a radioactive source for brachytherapy, and the performance studies are bench tests related to the device's physical properties and functionality. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as being "intended for use for cancer treatment" using brachytherapy, which is a form of radiotherapy to treat tumors. This directly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is intended for cancer treatment using brachytherapy, guiding a radioactive source to the treatment area. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is an "applicator" which is a physical device used to guide a radioactive source. The performance studies also describe bench testing of the physical device's function, durability, and sterilization. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an applicator used in brachytherapy. Its purpose is to guide a radioactive source within the patient's body for cancer treatment. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "cancer treatment," not for diagnosis or analysis of biological samples.

This device is a therapeutic medical device used for delivering radiation therapy.

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

Non Clinical Tests Bench Testing has been performed to demonstrate that

  • the device functions correctly with the specified afterloaders; .
  • the device can withstand the number of cycles of use that it will experience in its lifetime;
  • . the device enables the radioactive source to be located to the accuracy required,
  • . the device is constructed of materials that are not significantly affected by the radiation to which they are exposed in the lifetime of the product;
  • . the device may be sterilized effectively
  • . the device can be used and sterilized for the specified number of times
  • the positional accuracy of the source within the applicator is adequate.

Usability was assessed to the requirements of IEC 62366:2007. Results of Bench Testing showed conformance to applicable requirements and specifications

Clinical Tests No clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission.

Conclusions All the tests that were performed met the applied pass criteria. Body of testing provides evidence that the devices are safe and effective to perform as well or better than the predicate.

Dear Mr. Coronado:

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.
