The Mick Radio-Nuclear Instruments, Inc. CT Compatible Intrauterine Sleeve is intended for use as an accessory to the cervical applicators used in High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy as described for the predicate device. The intended use and design of this system is the similar to that of the predicate device (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. Cervical Sleeve, K955844). Fractionated HDR Brachytherapy of the Cervix requires repeated insertion of the applicator during treatment. Use of the CT Compatible Intrauterine Sleeves allows the user to repeatedly insert non-curved tandems without repeated delivery of anesthesia to the patient and helps prevent the possibility of uterine penetration by the tandems.
Device Story
The CT Compatible Intrauterine Sleeve is a mechanical accessory for cervical applicators used in HDR brachytherapy. It functions as a guide or sleeve for non-curved tandems during fractionated radiation treatment. By remaining in place, it allows for repeated insertion of the tandem without requiring repeated anesthesia for the patient and reduces the risk of uterine perforation. It is used in a clinical setting by healthcare providers performing brachytherapy procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical accessory for cervical applicators; designed for use with non-curved tandems. Materials are biocompatible and previously used in medical devices. No energy source or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing fractionated High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy for cervical cancer. Used as an accessory for cervical applicators with non-curved tandems to facilitate repeated insertion, avoid repeated anesthesia, and prevent uterine perforation.
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.

### Indications for Use
510(k) Number: To be assigned
KO33828
Device Name: CT Compatible Intrauterine Sleeve
### Indications for Use:
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 application of Brachytherapy is in the treatment of cancer of the This accessory for cervical applicators is designed as an accessory for any Cervical cervix. Applicator that has a non-curved tandem. Use of the Intrauterine Sleeve aids in repeated insertion of the cervical applicator during fractionated treatments, eliminating repeated use of anesthesia and prevents the possibility of uterine perforation.
