Intended Use

The CRC 15Ultra multiple chamber dose calibrator, which includes optional beta counter and well counter, is intended to be used by qualified nuclear medicine technologists to measure a wide range radiopharmaceuticals, including high mergy beta and gamma emitters. It is also designed for use by trained medical physicists to measure the output of most radioactive brachytherapy sources, including HDR, LDR and IVBT sources. All brachytherapy sources must be measured in the appropriate source holder. The well counter is designed for measurement of low activity radioactive sources or solutions, including laboratory test applications. This device is used in numerous research applications for measurement of radioactive materials.

Device Story

CRC 15Ultra is a multi-detector dose calibrator system; integrates up to eight pressurized re-entrant well chambers, high-energy beta counter, and well counter into a single universal readout unit. Used in clinical nuclear medicine and research settings by technologists and medical physicists. Inputs include radioactive samples/sources; device processes signals via enhanced electronic circuitry and microprocessor; outputs quantitative measurements of radioactivity. Field-upgradeable configuration allows flexible detector combinations. Benefits include cost-effective consolidation of multiple detector functions into one system. Healthcare providers use output to verify radiopharmaceutical doses and calibrate brachytherapy source output for clinical administration.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device tested against safety standards: IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-101, IEC 61326, UL 61010A-1, and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1/2-101.

Technological Characteristics

Multiple detector system; pressurized re-entrant well chambers; high-energy beta counter; well counter. Universal readout unit with enhanced electronic circuitry and microprocessor. Connectivity: supports networking of up to eight ionization chambers. Safety standards: IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-101, IEC 61326, UL 61010A-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by nuclear medicine technologists and medical physicists to measure radiopharmaceuticals (beta/gamma emitters) and brachytherapy sources (HDR, LDR, IVBT). Well counter indicated for low-activity radioactive sources/solutions and laboratory research applications.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

RE: Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information for the Capintec CRC 15Ultra.

The Capintec CRC 15Ultra is a multiple detector system, which may include up to eight sealed pressurized re-entrant well chambers, plus a high energy beta counter, and a well counter. The CRC 15Ultra combines the features of several well established Capintec models: CRC 35R, CRC 15R, Beta Counter, and Caprac R Counter into one unit with flexible configurations which are field upgradeable. The 15Ultra incorporates enhanced electronic circuitry and faster microprocessor capabilities, which extends it capability to network eight ionization chambers, as did the CRC 35R. However, the CRC 15Ultra can also add the detector assembly from the Beta C Counter, or the detector assembly from the Caprac R Well Counter, to the same universal readout. The basic design concepts, functionality, calculations, algorithms, and response are the same. The 15Ultra is a far more cost effective solution to a user who requires multiple chambers and detectors when compared to the cost of purchasing three separate units.

The predicate devices, upon which the CRC15Ultra is based, have a long history of safe and effective use in the field. The unit is intended for use by trained nuclear medicine technologists, nuclear medicine physicians, or medical phyicists in clinical applications.

The CRC 15Ultra has also been tested and approved to the following safety standards for laboratory equipment:

IEC 61010-1 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use-Part 1 General Requirements

IEC 61010-2-101 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control. and laboratory use-Part 2 Particular Requirement for In Vitro Diagnostic Equipment

IEC 61326 Electrical equipment for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use-EMC requirements

Dear Ms. Dell:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 registrations, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
