The summary describes a physical applicator for brachytherapy and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as an "applicator for the positioning of sealed sources in the intracavitary treatment of the vagina," which indicates its direct involvement in delivering a medical therapy (brachytherapy).
No
The device is described as an applicator for positioning sealed sources in brachytherapy, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic procedure.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "system that can be adjusted in length and diameter" and utilizes "radio opaque markers for visualization," indicating a physical hardware device used for positioning sealed sources in brachytherapy.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for positioning sealed sources in brachytherapy for the intracavitary treatment of the vagina. This is a therapeutic procedure involving the delivery of radiation directly to a tumor or treatment area.
- Device Description: The device is described as an applicator for positioning sources, adjustable in length and diameter, and utilizing radio-opaque markers for visualization. This aligns with a medical device used for delivering therapy, not for diagnosing a condition.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide diagnostic information. This device is used for delivering treatment within the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Mick Radio-Nuclear Instruments, Inc. Segmented Vaginal Applicators are intended for use in Brachytherapy. The delivery of intracavitary radiation therapy requires not only proper visualization and localization of the applicator within the treatment volume, but precise dosimetry and a stable delivery system from which treatment can be administered. The Mick Radio-Nuclear Segmented Vaginal Applicator meets these requirements by providing an system that can be adjusted in length and diameter to meet the dimensions of the treatment volume and by utilizing radio opaque markers for visualization.
The use of sealed Radioisotopes to treat tumors within the body has been documented and published since the turn of the century. Modern era Radiation Therapy has developed delivery systems using isotopes of Cesium, Iridium, Iodine, and Gold to name a few examples. Many tumors now are treated by internal exposure to radiation emitted from sealed radioactive sources. Two common modalities for this are Low Dose Rate and High Dose Rate remote afterloading (Brachytherapy). One common use of Brachytherapy is in the treatment of cancer of the vaginal process. The system described in this 510(k) has been developed to function as an applicator for the positioning of sealed sources in the intracavitary treatment of the vagina.
