Intended Use
The Surface Applicator Set is intended for treatment of small skin tumours or other superficial disease (such as keloid formations) with HDR Brachytherapy.
Device Story
Surface Applicator Set is a brachytherapy accessory used to guide radioactive sources to treatment sites. Device functions as a physical guide for HDR brachytherapy, ensuring source placement aligns with predefined treatment plans for small skin tumors or superficial diseases like keloids. Used in brachytherapy treatment rooms by clinical staff. Applicator does not contact patient directly; requires sterile plastic envelope or surgical foil. Device is non-sterile, reusable (up to 500 times), and compatible with GammaMedplus series afterloaders. By accurately positioning the radioactive source, the device enables precise radiation delivery to the target area, facilitating effective treatment of superficial lesions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing evaluated suitability for 500 uses and 100 cleaning cycles; results met all pre-defined acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Tungsten, stainless steel, hard PVC. Principle: Mechanical guide for HDR brachytherapy radioactive source. Form factor: Surface cone insets (round/oval) and shielding with vertical source entrance. Connectivity: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Delivered non-sterile; requires sterile barrier (envelope/foil) for use. Reusability: 500 uses, 100 cleaning cycles.
Indications for Use
Indicated for treatment of small skin tumors or superficial diseases (e.g., keloid formations) in patients requiring HDR brachytherapy.
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.

Dear Mr. Coronado:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

#### Performance Data:
Bench testing was performed to evaluate the suitability of the applicator sets repeated use for up to 500 times and 100 cleaning cycles. Non-clinical testing showed the test articles met the pre-defined acceptance criteria, thereby demonstrating that the device performs as intended.
Clinical Tests No clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission
#### Conclusions
The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the bench testing demonstrates that the Surface Applicator Set performs as intended. Varian therefore considers Surface Applicator Set to be safe and effective and to perform at least as well as the predicate device.
