Device Description
The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Fletcher-model Tandem and Ovoid Applicator Set design is based on the conventional modified Fletcher GYN applicator. Kobold manufactures versions compatible with HDR afterloaders. This applicator is mainly utilized for HDR radiation boosts to the cervix and parametrial tissues in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy. This GYN set consists of precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a pair of interlocking vaginal colpostats with Fletcher type unshielded barrel or cylinder ovoids (all components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry). The distance between the two lateral ovoids is adjustable with a lock knob. Four differing tandem geometries are provided in the set: one straight, one with slight curvature, one with medium curvature, and one with maximal curvature. These allow for maximal accommodation of the uterine shape and flexure. The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Henschke-model Tandem and Ovoid Applicator Set design is based on the conventional modified Henschke GYN applicator. Kobold manufactures versions compatible with HDR afterloaders. This applicator is mainly utilized for HDR radiation boosts to the cervix and parametrial tissues in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy. This GYN set consists of precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a pair of interlocking vaginal colpostats with Henschke type unshielded ovoids (all components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry). The distance between the ovoids is adjustable with a lock knob. Four differing tandem geometries are provided in the set: one straight, one with slight curvature, one with medium curvature, and one with maximal curvature. These allow for maximal accommodation of the uterine shape and flexure. The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Vaginal Cylinder Applicator Set design is based on conventional cylindrical HDR delivery systems with a connector interface compatible with major manufacturers' afterloaders. 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 precision manufactured vaginal cylinders of varied diameters for optimal radiation treatment delivery and anatomical customization. The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Miami Cylinder Applicator Set design is based on conventional modified Miami applicators with a connector interface compatible with major manufacturers' afterloaders. This applicator set 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. Various tandems are provided: straight. slight curvature. medium curvature, and maximal curvature. These allow for maximal accommodation of the uterine flexure.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of brachytherapy applicators, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

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

No

This device is used for high dose rate (HDR) radiation treatment, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as intrauterine tandems, vaginal colpostats, ovoids, and cylinders, which are hardware. The intended use also describes a physical applicator set for radiation treatment.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The device description and intended use clearly state that these are applicators used within the body for delivering radiation treatment directly to the cervix, uterus, and vagina.
  • The device is used for delivering therapy (radiation), not for diagnostic testing of biological samples. Its purpose is to facilitate the physical placement of a radiation source for treatment, not to analyze biological material for diagnostic purposes.

The text describes a medical device used for brachytherapy (internal radiation therapy), which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.
