Intended Use
Aktina Thermoplastic Masks are medical devices used for patient positioning and immobilization during external beam radiation therapy procedures. Thermoplastic masks are intended for the duration of the treatment.
Device Description
This is a Traditional 510(k) for the Aktina Medical Thermoplastic Mask. The low-temperature thermoplastic mask is made of Aquaplast polycaprolactone sheets. When immersed in water heated to 70-75°C [160 to 170°F], the material softens, allowing the user to shape or stretch the mask over the contours of the patient's anatomy while cooling. When the material reaches room temperature, the mask hardens into the anatomical shape. The mask can then be placed over the patient treatment area to consistently immobilize the area from treatment to treatment. Predicate device manufacturers have used polycaprolactone materials for this intended use for over 25 years. The mask also has a polycarbonate frame with holes for mounting to the user's existing patient support hardware.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and function of a thermoplastic mask for immobilization, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used for patient positioning and immobilization during radiation therapy, not for treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as a medical device used for patient positioning and immobilization during external beam radiation therapy procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "low-temperature thermoplastic mask" made of physical materials (polycaprolactone sheets and a polycarbonate frame) and describes a physical process of softening and hardening to create a physical immobilization device. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices that are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Aktina Thermoplastic Masks are used for patient positioning and immobilization during external beam radiation therapy procedures. They are applied externally to the patient's anatomy.
  • No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. The device's function is purely mechanical – to create a custom-fit mask for immobilization.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Aktina Thermoplastic Mask falls under the category of a medical device used for patient support and immobilization, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Spaccarotella:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmp/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see

This device is classified as a class II device according to 21 CFR 892.5050, "Medical chargedparticle radiation therapy system." The product code is IYE.

5. Predicate Device

Embrace Thermoplastic, 510(k) No. K120335, manufactured by Bionix Development Corporation, 5154 Enterprise Blvd, Toledo, OH 43612 USA.

6. Description

This is a Traditional 510(k) for the Aktina Medical Thermoplastic Mask. The low-temperature thermoplastic mask is made of Aquaplast polycaprolactone sheets. When immersed in water heated to 70-75°C [160 to 170°F], the material softens, allowing the user to shape or stretch the mask over the contours of the patient's anatomy while cooling. When the material reaches room temperature, the mask hardens into the anatomical shape. The mask can then be placed over the patient treatment area to consistently immobilize the area from treatment to treatment. Predicate device manufacturers have used polycaprolactone materials for this intended use for over 25 years. The mask also has a polycarbonate frame with holes for mounting to the user's existing patient support hardware.

  • o Assessment against ISO 14971 Risk Management requirements.
  • Assessment against applicable sections of IEC Standard: 62366-1, Application of 0 usability engineering to medical devices.

This device does not contain software.

The testing has demonstrated substantial equivalence or better when compared to the predicate device.

10. Clinical Testing

No clinical testing was performed in support of this pre-market submission.

11. Biocompatibility

The patient contact component for this device is the low-temperature thermoplastic mask material, which contacts the skin surface for less than 24 hours. This material has been shown to be biocompatible for the intended use when tested against the requirements of ISO 10993-1, -5 and -10 for cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization.

12. Conclusion Regarding of Substantial Equivalence

This device is similar in design, intended use, technological, physical and performance characteristics to the predicate device. No new issues of safety or effectiveness are introduced by using this device. Therefore, Aktina Medical Corp. believes that the Thermoplastic Mask is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
