Intended Use
AOS Interstitial Templates, Needles, and Accessories are indicated for use in adults where Brachytherapy of the cervix or prostate is an accepted clinical practice.
Device Description
AOS Interstitial Templates, Needles, and Accessories are designed for interstitial Brachytherapy treatments of the cervix and prostate. The Templates are designed to be sutured to the perineal area in order to fix the geometry of the Template Need into the cervix or prostate. AOS Templates are made of silicone, with holes in a circular pattern, typically spaced 1 cm (Center-to center). AOS Templates are supplied in two configurations to accommodate a prostate or GYN treatment. The Template is sutured in place and Template Needles are inserted into the Template. The number and type of Template Needles is dependent on the model of Afterloader. Additional accessories are required in vaginal cases. The AOS GYN Templates have a large hole with a quide strip. The matching AOS Vaginal Guide Tube is inserted in this hole, lining up the guide groove. The Vaginal Guide is pushed to the desired depth and the large O-Ring is slipped over the Vaginal Guide. The AOS Collar is then used to push the Vaginal Guide until it can be slipped over and on to the Template. The O-Ring's elasticity tightens down and provides sufficient tension to hold the Vaqinal Guide in place. Each Vaginal Guide has six (6) Needle grooves for the insertion of additional Template Needles as required. Where an Afterloader is used, the Template Needles are connected to the Afterloader via an appropriate connector. If the Template Needle has a female Luer Adaptor on the proximal end, connection to the AOS Universal Connecting Guide Tube, P/N SGJ0007, provides an unobstructed pathway for the source wire or cable from the Afterloader to the appropriate distance as determined by the Afterloader. Some Afterloaders provide a transfer tube, which is connected to the other end slips over the plain end of the Template Needle and is tightened down to hold and connect the Template Needle.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and their function in brachytherapy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The summary also explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for use in brachytherapy, which is a form of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. This involves delivering radiation directly to the tumor, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is used for interstitial Brachytherapy treatments, which is a therapeutic procedure involving the delivery of radiation, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of silicone and metal (needles, guide tubes, collars, etc.) used in a physical medical procedure (brachytherapy). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is used for interstitial Brachytherapy treatments. This is a therapeutic procedure where radioactive sources are placed directly into or near the tumor.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for Brachytherapy of the cervix or prostate, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. The device is used to physically deliver radiation sources.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Bob Robnett:

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 (the 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 available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrb/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. 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.
