Intended Use
The Advanced Breast Template System is intended for use for cancer treatment of the breast or chest wall using high dose rate HDR Brachytherapy.
Device Description
The Advanced Breast Template System is an applicator for 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 device does not contain or consist of software/firmware. The device does not contain any biologics or drug components. The device has patient-contacting materials. The device is designed for repeated use. No parts of the system are provided sterile. The device can be steam sterilized with common parameters using pre-vacuum sterilization. This device is used on male and female patients. The Advanced Breast Template System is compatible with the following afterloaders: VariSource iX™, VariSource 200™, GammaMedplus iX™ and GammaMedplus™. The Advanced Breast Template System is CT compatible.

No
The device description explicitly states that the device does not contain or consist of software/firmware, and there are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML in the summary. The device is a physical applicator for guiding a radioactive source.

Yes.
The device is used for cancer treatment of the breast or chest wall using HDR Brachytherapy, which is a form of radiotherapy to treat health conditions.

No

The device is an applicator used for targeted radiation treatment (Brachytherapy) for cancer, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states, "The device does not contain or consist of software/firmware."

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for cancer treatment using brachytherapy, which is a therapeutic procedure. IVDs are used for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an applicator for guiding a radioactive source for treatment. It does not perform any analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).

Therefore, the Advanced Breast Template System is a therapeutic device used in the treatment of cancer, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
