No
The summary describes a simple mechanical device for holding radioactive seeds and makes no mention of AI, ML, or any related computational processing.

No
This device is described as a disposable accessory for holding radioactive seeds in an applicator, not as a device that delivers therapy itself. Its function is to hold seeds, which are then used in a therapeutic procedure.

No

This device is described as a disposable device to hold radioactive seeds for an applicator, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single patient use disposable device to hold radioactive seeds," indicating it is a physical hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used to "hold radioactive seeds" within an applicator for a medical procedure (likely brachytherapy). It is a mechanical component used in the delivery of radiation therapy.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing any biological samples from a patient.

The device is a component used in a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

Dear Mr. Harms:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, 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 prodibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If vour device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarker potification does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 80) and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-204) or -----(301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
