Intended Use
This device is intended to enable an operator to apply, by remote control, a radionuclide source into the body or to the surface of the body for radiation therapy.
Device Story
The microSelectron HDR-GENIE is an entry-level remote-controlled afterloading system for radiotherapy. It utilizes a radionuclide source to deliver radiation to a patient. The system features three treatment channels and is operated via a PC-based console running dedicated Treatment Console Software. A separate, independent software program on the same console performs radiotherapy treatment planning; plans are transferred to the console software via file transfer. The device is standalone, with LAN connectivity restricted to treatment plan file transfers. It is operated by clinical staff in a radiotherapy setting. By automating the placement of the radionuclide source, the device allows for precise radiation delivery while protecting the operator from radiation exposure.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and design similarities to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Remote-controlled afterloading system; 3 treatment channels; PC-based operator console; standalone architecture with LAN for file transfer; utilizes existing microSelectron-HDR V2 applicators and transfer tubes.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring radiation therapy via remote controlled application of a radionuclide source into or onto the body. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A remote controlled radionuclide applicator system is an electromechanical or pneumatic device intended to enable an operator to apply, by remote control, a radionuclide source into the body or to the surface of the body for radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include patient and equipment supports, component parts, treatment planning computer programs, and accessories.

## Special 510(k) Nucletron microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System April 2002 Description:
The entry-level microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System concerns a microSelectron-HDR (V2) with only three treatment channels. The operators console of the microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System concerns a PC running dedicated Treatment Console Software which is similar as in the predicate device microSelectron-HDR (V2). In the microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System there is on the operators console a second completely independent software program for radiotherapy treatment planning. Treatment plans are transferred from the radiotherapy treatment planning software to the Treatment Console Software by file transfer. It is the same as in the predicate device where treatment plans are transferred to the Treatment Console Software from radiotherapy treatment planning software running on a separate computer.
The radiotherapy treatment planning software is covered by a separate 510(k) submission.
Applicators and Transfer Tubes as available for microSelectron-HDR (V2) are also applicable for the microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System.
The entry-level microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System is a standalone device. Connection to a LAN is only for the purpose of File Transfer of Treatment Plan Files.
### Intended use:
The Nucletron microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System has the same intended use as the legally marketed predicate device cited:
This device is intended to enable an operator to apply, by remote control, a radionuclide source into the body or to the surface of the body for radiation therapy.
## Summary of technological considerations:
The Nucletron microSelectron®HDR - GENIE Afterloading System is substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate device, microSelectron-HDR V2, 510(k)#: K953946.
