Intended Use
The Surface Applicator Set is intended for treatment of small skin tumours or other superficial disease (such as keloid formations) with HDR Brachytherapy.
Device Description
The Surface Applicator Set is an applicator for 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 mechanical function of the applicator for guiding a radioactive source based on a predefined treatment plan, with no mention of AI or ML for planning, image analysis, or other functions.

Yes
The device is used for "treatment of small skin tumours or other superficial disease," directly indicating its therapeutic purpose of delivering radiation for medical treatment.

No.
The device's description and intended use clearly state it is for treatment (HDR Brachytherapy) by guiding a radioactive source, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "applicator for Brachytherapy" and acts to "guide the radioactive source," indicating a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of skin tumors and superficial diseases using HDR Brachytherapy. This is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an applicator for Brachytherapy, which guides a radioactive source for treatment. This is a treatment delivery device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or 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 does not fit that description.

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

Performance Data:

Bench testing was performed to evaluate the suitability of the applicator sets repeated use for up to 500 times and 100 cleaning cycles. Non-clinical testing showed the test articles met the pre-defined acceptance criteria, thereby demonstrating that the device performs as intended.

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

Conclusions

The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the bench testing demonstrates that the Surface Applicator Set performs as intended. Varian therefore considers Surface Applicator Set to be safe and effective and to perform at least as well as the predicate device.
