No
The 510(k) summary describes radioactive seeds for brachytherapy, a physical treatment method. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other computational technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes
The device is used to deliver radiation for brachytherapy in the treatment of cancer, which directly treats a medical condition.

No
The device, BT-125-1 seeds, is intended to deliver radiation for brachytherapy in the treatment of cancer, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The 510(k) summary describes "seeds" used for brachytherapy, which are physical objects delivering radiation. This indicates a hardware device, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the BT-125-1 seeds are used to "deliver radiation for brachytherapy in the treatment of cancer with sources in close proximity to, or within, the tumor." This describes a therapeutic device used in vivo (within the body) to treat a disease.
  • Definition of IVD: 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. They are used in vitro (outside the body).

The description of the BT-125-1 seeds as a device for delivering radiation directly to a tumor within the body is the opposite of how an IVD functions.

(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.

K992008 PharmaSeed BT-125-1 Brachytherapy Seeds Dated: September 24, 1999 Received: September 30, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 892.5730/Procode: 90 KXK

Dear Mr. Gilmore:

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 requiration 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).
