The document describes a physical brachytherapy applicator accessory and its intended use, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI or ML. The performance studies focus on hardware verification, biocompatibility, and cleaning validation.
Yes
The Varian Cervical Sleeves are intended for the "treatment of any case where high dose irradiation with an intrauterine tandem is an acceptable clinical practice," which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device description indicates that Varian Cervical Sleeves are used to guide radioactive sources for treatment, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description and performance studies clearly indicate this is a physical medical device (brachytherapy applicator accessories) and not software. The performance studies focus on hardware verification, validation, biocompatibility, and cleaning validation.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Varian Cervical Sleeves are physical accessories used in brachytherapy treatment. They are inserted into the cervix to guide a radioactive source for direct treatment of a condition. They do not analyze biological samples to provide diagnostic information.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "for treatment of any case where high dose irradiation with an intrauterine tandem is an acceptable clinical practice." This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details its function as a guide for a radioactive source and a safeguard against uterine wall perforation during treatment. This is a mechanical/physical function within a treatment procedure.
The information provided describes a medical device used in a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

Device Description
Varian Cervical Sleeves are brachytherapy applicator accessories. The cervical sleeves are used for insertion into the cervix prior to treatment and acts to guide the radioactive source to the correct locations for treatment. The sleeve can be sutured in place and left for a series of treatments. Presence of the sleeve helps to insure against perforation of the uterine wall by the distal end of the tandem.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Hardware verification and validation testing was conducted according to the FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820), ISO 13485 Quality Management System standard, ISO 14971 Risk Management Standard and the other FDA recognized consensus standards listed below. Test results showed conformance to applicable requirements specifications and assured hazard safeguards functioned properly. Biocompatibilty testing requirements in conformance with ANSI/AAMI/ ISO 10993 1 “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1” for irritation, sensitization, and acute systemic injection have been met. Cleaning validation test requirements have been met. Based on the verification, validation and non-clinical 10993 standard testing, the Varian Cervical Sleeves are as safe, effective and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device identified in section III above.

Dear Mr. Coronado:
We have reviewed vour 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
