Intended Use

The World Wide Medical Technologies StrandPort intended use is to provide a disposable carrier for seed strands containing radionuclide seeds for the introduction by the user of radionuclide seeds into Prostate Seeding Needles for brachytherapy procedures. The anatomical site is typically the transperineal approach for radionuclide seed application in and around the prostate. This device is a sterile, single patient use product.

Device Story

StrandPort is a sterile, single-use disposable carrier designed for brachytherapy procedures. It functions as a delivery mechanism for radionuclide seed strands, facilitating their introduction into prostate seeding needles. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals, the device assists in the transperineal application of radioactive seeds in and around the prostate. By providing a stable carrier for the strands, it aids the physician in the precise placement of brachytherapy sources, supporting the therapeutic goal of localized radiation treatment for prostate conditions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Sterile, single-patient use disposable carrier. Designed for compatibility with prostate seeding needles for brachytherapy. No specific materials or software algorithms described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a disposable carrier for radionuclide seed strands during brachytherapy procedures, specifically for the transperineal introduction of seeds into the prostate.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A radionuclide brachytherapy source is a device that consists of a radionuclide which may be enclosed in a sealed container made of gold, titanium, stainless steel, or platinum and intended for medical purposes to be placed onto a body surface or into a body cavity or tissue as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A prostate seeding kit intended for use with a radionuclide brachytherapy source only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Mr. Richardson:

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 registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
