#### PREDICATE DEVICE lll.
Name of Predicate: VariSource Breast Template System
510k Number: K023220
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION IV.
The Advanced Breast Template System is an applicator for interstitial Brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy using Gamma rays from a radioactive source placed at locations close to or within a tumor or other treatment area to a predefined treatment plan. The treatment plan defines the positions and times for the source to ensure the correct dose for the treatment area. The applicator acts to guide the radioactive source to the correct location or locations for treatment.
The device does not contain or consist of software/firmware. The device does not contain any biologics or drug components. The device has patient-contacting materials. The device is designed for repeated use. No parts of the system are provided sterile. The device can be steam sterilized with common parameters using pre-vacuum sterilization. This device is used on male and female patients.
The Advanced Breast Template System is compatible with the following afterloaders: VariSource iX™, VariSource 200™, GammaMedplus iX™ and GammaMedplus™.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The Advanced Breast Template System is CT compatible.
