The Isoray Medical, Inc. Cs-131 Implant Devices with SiriusTM MRI Markers are indicated for the treatment of malignant prostatic disease. These devices may be used as a primary treatment or in conjunction with other modalities. The MRI Markers are used to facilitate the anatomical localization of seeds after they have been implanted.
The Isoray Medical, Inc. Cs-131 Implant Devices with Sirius™ Markers are a combination of two commercially available devices: The Isoray Medical Cs-131 Implant Devices, and the Sirius™ MRI Markers. They come in two configurations and listed below:
- Isoray Medical, Inc. Cs-131 PL-7 Preloaded Strands with Sirius™ Markers
- Isoray Medical, Inc. Cs-131 PL-8 Preloaded Strands with Sirius™ Markers in 18G Needles ●
The Sirius™ MRI Markers combined with the Isoray Cesium-131 Implant Devices will be used to facilitate the anatomical location of seeds after they have been implanted in the prostate of a patient with confirmed prostatic malignancy.
The Cs-131 Implant Devices are a small, cylindrical, sealed source that consists of a welded pure titanium capsule containing the low energy gamma (x-ray) emitting isotope, Cesium-131 (Cs-131), adsorbed onto an internal inorganic substrate. The external seed dimensions are 4.5 mm length and 0.8 mm diameter and the only patient-contacting material is commercially pure titanium.
The Sirius™ MRI markers consist of a sealed polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polymer capsule containing a cobalt chloride: N-Acetylcysteine solution. The Sirius™ MRI Marker is a component device indicated as an accessory for use in conjunction with brachytherapy seed carrier sleeves and radionuclide brachytherapy seeds containing one of the following isotopes: lodine-125, Palladium-103 or Cesium-131. The Sirius™ MRI Markers combined with the Isoray Cesium-131 Brachytherapy Seeds will be used to facilitate the anatomical location of seeds after they have been implanted.
The spacers are used to maintain the exact locations and separation distances between the seeds as indicated on the treatment plan prepared by the physicist. They are made of PLA/PGA copolymer and are absorbable. The spacer length is variable since it is a function of how many seeds are required by the patient treatment plan. The spacers are 0.8mm in diameter.
The Cs-131 Implant Devices with MRI Markers comes in two (2) configurations as listed in the table below.
The seeds, spacers, and Sirius™ MRI markers are arranged in a precise pattern in order to maintain the exact locations and separation distances between the seeds as indicated on the treatment plan prepared by the physician or medical physicist. There are no product specific guidance documents or product specific standards for brachytherapy seeds. The subject devices are EtO sterilized and are a single-use device.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Isoray Medical, Inc. Cs-131 Implant Devices with Sirius™ Markers. This document describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.
However, this document explicitly states that "No performance data testing was performed as each of the components has been previously cleared for this intended use." and "No additional biocompatibility test was performed as biocompatibility evaluation was conducted for each of the components in previous regulatory clearances."
Therefore, the supplied text does not contain information about a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on performance metrics. It indicates that the device's components (Cs-131 implant devices and Sirius™ MRI Markers) were previously cleared and have established safety and effectiveness.
As a result, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them, because such a study is explicitly stated as not having been performed for this specific 510(k) submission.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on:
- Identical product code, regulation number, device classification name, and device classification.
- Similar indications for use, with the subject device's indication being a combination of the predicate and reference device, specifically limiting use to the prostate due to the MRI markers.
- Similar principle of operation.
- Identical condition of use, Rx or OTC status, materials of construction (for the core components), packaging, and sterilization method. The new combination device incorporates the MRI markers, which were previously cleared.
In summary, the provided text does not contain the information needed to answer your request about acceptance criteria and a performance study, as the filing strategy for this device was based on substantial equivalence to pre-cleared components rather than new performance testing.

Dear Ms. Powers:
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/cfpmn/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.

| Principle ofOperation | Brachytherapy is performed by implanting radiation sources directly into the tissue to be treated. This provides a much higher tumor dose to be delivered, while sparing normal surrounding tissue.

Performance Data
No performance data testing was performed as each of the components has been previously cleared for this intended use. No additional biocompatibility test was performed as biocompatibility evaluation was conducted for each of the components in previous regulatory clearances. The brachytherapy seeds, Sirius™ MRI markers and spacers are considered implants.
{10}------------------------------------------------
The finished device is sterilized via a validated EtO sterilization cycle and provide a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 1 x 10 °. Sterilization is performed by Isoray Medical, Inc. Validation of the device will be performed in accordance with ISO 11135:2014 Sterilization of health-care products -- Ethylene oxide --Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. The half-cycle method was used was validation. The validation method and dose range is in accordance with ISO 11135:2014 Sterilization of health care products -- Ethylene oxide -- Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.
Conclusion
The Cs-131 Implant Devices with Sirius™ Markers is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device as demonstrated by similar intended use, similar technologies and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
§ 892.5730 Radionuclide brachytherapy source.
(a)
Identification. A radionuclide brachytherapy source is a device that consists of a radionuclide which may be enclosed in a sealed container made of gold, titanium, stainless steel, or platinum and intended for medical purposes to be placed onto a body surface or into a body cavity or tissue as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A prostate seeding kit intended for use with a radionuclide brachytherapy source only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
