The summary describes a radioactive seed for brachytherapy and focuses on its physical properties and performance against standards, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device, 125 Iodine Brachytherapy Seeds, is explicitly indicated for therapeutic purposes, such as treating localized tumors through temporary or permanent implantation or surface application.
No
Explanation: The device, 125 Iodine Brachytherapy Seeds, is used for treatment of localized tumors, not for diagnosing conditions. Its description and intended use clearly state it's a therapeutic device that delivers radiation.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical object (laser welded titanium capsule containing a copper rod) and the performance studies focus on physical properties like temperature and pressure resistance, not software performance.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Implant Sciences 125 Iodine Brachytherapy Seeds are intended for implantation directly into the body to treat tumors. This is an in vivo (within the living body) treatment, not an in vitro (outside the living body) diagnostic test.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of any bodily specimens. It is a radioactive source used for therapeutic purposes.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Implant Sciences 125 Iodine Brachytherapy Seeds are a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Implant Sciences 125 Jodine Brachytherapy Seeds with activities from 0.1 to 5.0 mCi are indicated for temporary or permanent interstitial or intracavity implantation or surface application to treat selected localized tumors. They can be used either as primary treatment (such as for prostate cancer or unresectable tumors) or as treatment for residual disease after excision of primary or recurrent tumors. The 125 lodine Seeds may be used concurrently with or following treatment with other interventions, such as external beam therapy, hyperthermia or chemotherapy. Tumors of the head, neck, lung, pancreas, prostate and other accessible tumors are commonly treated.

Device Description
The Implant Sciences 125 Iodine Brachytherapy Seeds consist of a laser welded titanium capsule containing an aluminum clad copper rod that serves as both a substrate for the radioactive iodine source and as a radiopaque x-ray marker. The marker identifies the source location and orientation. The seeds are provided non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use.

Summary of Performance Studies
The 510(k) Notice contains summaries of both in vitro studies which were conducted to evaluate the safety, and appropriateness of the ISC Brachytherapy Seeds. Data are presented which demonstrate that the ISC Brachytherapy Seeds satisfy performance requirements for temperature resistance, external pressure resistance, impact resistance, vibration integrity, and puncture resistance as specified by ANSI Standard N43.6-1997. These test results confirm that the ISC 125 lodine Brachytherapy Seeds meet the requirements for radioactive sources in its class and are equivalent to other currently marketed radionuclide brachytherapy sources. The 510(k) Notice also describes further standardized studies which describe the radiation profile of the sources. These profiles are consistent with the data generated from other lodine-125 brachytherapy seeds with similar physical geometries. In addition, capsule leak testing was carried out in accordance with ANSI standards. The results of these studies again support the equivalence of the Implant Sciences device to the predicate devices.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Schrayer:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or 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 requirements, 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 premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product 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 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion 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) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
