Dear Mr. DeLucia:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

### Device Description
The Axxent Cervical Applicator is a component of the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System (cleared under K122951) which utilizes a proprietary miniaturized X-ray source and does not require radioactive isotopes. The applicator allows the Axxent HDR X-ray source to deliver high-dose rate, low energy radiation treatment to the uterus, cervix, endometrium and vagina. The Axxent HDR X-ray source mimics the penetration and dose characteristics of Iridium-192.
The Axxent Cervical applicator is provided non-sterile and can be reused. The user must sterilize the device using steam sterilization before each use. An Applicator Clamp is a required accessory to stabilize the Cervical Applicator during radiation treatment.
#### Intended Use / "Indications for Use"
The indications for use have not changed since its clearance under K123442. The Axxent Cervical Applicator is indicated for use with the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System to deliver high dose rate brachytherapy for intracavitary treatment of cancer of the uterus, cervix, endometrium and vagina.

### Summary of Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the Axxent Cervical Applicator have not changed since its clearance under K123442. In this pre-market clearance submission, iCAD Inc. is seeking clearance for adding MRI compatibility and MR Conditional labeling to the Instructions for Use. The Axxent Cervical Applicator is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Mick Radio-Nuclear Instruments, Inc. Modified Henschke HDR Cervix Applicator, in terms of MR compatibility.
#### General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns
The device labeling contains instructions for use and any necessary cautions and warnings to provide for safe and effective use of this device. Risk management is ensured via a risk analysis which is used to identify potential hazards. Any potential hazards are controlled through development, verification and validation testing.
### Assessment of Non-Clinical Performance Data
A study report was included in this submission which evaluated the Axxent Cervical Applicator for MRI compatibility in 1.5 T and 3 T clinical scanners. Test samples were provided in their final manufactured condition and were evaluated for the following:
- 1. Magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052)
- 2. Magnetically induced torque (ASTM F2213 as a guide)
- 3. MR image artifact (ASTM F2119)
- 4. Radiofrequency induced heating (ASTM F2182)
The results of the testing indicated that, in accordance with the guidance of relevant ASTM standards, Xoft's Cervical Applicator should be labeled MR Conditional.
#### Conclusion
This traditional 510(k) for the Axxent® Cervical Applicator contains adequate information and data to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
