Intended Use
The Mick HDR IORT Shielded Applicator presented in this 510(k) notification has been developed to function as accessories/applicator for the positioning of HDR Remote After-Loader sealed sources during intraoperative procedures or externally on the patient surface.
Device Story
The Mick HDR IORT Shielded Applicator is a mechanical accessory used in high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. It provides a stable, reproducible, and predictable geometry for positioning radioactive sources during superficial or intraoperative cancer treatments. The device is used by clinicians in a clinical setting to facilitate precise radiation delivery via remote after-loading systems. It does not contain electronic components or software; it functions as a physical guide for the radioactive source. By ensuring accurate source placement, the device assists the healthcare provider in delivering targeted radiation therapy, potentially improving treatment outcomes for cancer patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical applicator for HDR brachytherapy. Materials and construction are identical to predicate devices. No energy source, software, or electronic components. Designed for manual positioning of radioactive sources.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an accessory/applicator for positioning HDR Remote After-Loader sealed sources for superficial or intraoperative radiation therapy in cancer patients.
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.
