Intended Use
The Mould Applicator Set is indicated for IORT, interstitial and intraluminal treatments of cancer and treatments of cancer or other superficial disease using HDR or PDR brachytherapy.
Device Story
Mould Applicator Set functions as a guide for radioactive sources in brachytherapy; used in conjunction with GammaMedplus HDR afterloading system. Device consists of mould probes (1.8mm or 2.8mm diameter) that guide radioactive source to predefined treatment locations within or near tumors. Operated by clinicians in brachytherapy treatment rooms. Probes are inserted into patient; mandrins removed for MR conditional use (1.5T and 3T). Device is CT compatible. Probes constructed from Polyamide or FEP with titanium connectors and stainless steel mandrins. Steam sterilization required; 1.8mm probes are single-use if steam sterilized, or reusable up to 10 times if only disinfected. 2.8mm probes reusable up to 25 times. Output is physical guidance of radiation source to ensure accurate dose delivery per treatment plan. Benefits include precise, localized radiation delivery for cancer treatment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing confirmed device functionality with afterloader, structural integrity over lifetime, positional accuracy of radioactive source, radiation resistance of materials, sterilization effectiveness, biocompatibility per ISO 10993, and safety in CT and MRI environments (1.5T/3T). Usability assessed per IEC 62366:2007.
Indicated for patients requiring IORT, interstitial, intraluminal, or superficial brachytherapy for cancer or other superficial disease using HDR or PDR radiation sources.

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. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.

| Device Description: | The Mould Applicator Set is an applicator for intraoperative,<br>interstitial, intraluminal or surface brachytherapy. Brachytherapy<br>is a form of radiotherapy using Gamma rays from a radioactive<br>source placed at locations close to or within a tumor or other<br>treatment area to a predefined treatment plan. The treatment<br>plan defines the positions and times for the source to ensure the<br>correct dose for the treatment area. The applicator acts to guide<br>the radioactive source to the correct location or locations for<br>treatment. |
| | The Mould Applicator Set can be steam sterilized with common<br>parameters using Pre-vacuum sterilization. |
| | The mould probes Ø 2.8mm (GM11002280), which are part of the<br>set, have a maximum implantation time of up to 24 hours.<br>According to ISO 10993-1 they are categorised as medical devices,<br>external communicating with tissue/bone communicating and a<br>limited contact duration (A). They can be steam sterilized and<br>used 25 times. |
| | The mould probes Ø 1.8mm (GM11002290) have a maximum<br>implantation time of up to 7 days. According to ISO 10993-1 they |
{4}------------------------------------------------
are categorised as a medical device, external communicating with tissue/bone communicating and prolonged contact duration (B). When steam sterilised, they are a single use product and can be used for IORT, interstitial and intraluminal treatments. If only disinfected the probe can be used up to 10 times for treatment of superficial diseases. The Mould Applicator Set is CT compatible. The Mould Applicator Set is MR conditional for 1.5 and 3 Tesla when the mandrins have been removed from the mould probes after insertion in the patient. Indications for Use: The Mould Applicator Set is indicated for IORT, interstitial and intraluminal treatments of cancer and treatments of cancer or
other superficial disease using HDR or PDR brachytherapy.

- . the devices can withstand the number of cycles of use they will experience in its lifetime;
- . the devices enable the radioactive source to be located to the accuracy required,
- the devices are constructed of materials that are not significantly affected by the radiation to which they are exposed in the lifetime of the product;
- . the devices may be sterilized effectively
- . the devices can be used and sterilized for the specified number of times
- the positional accuracy of the source within the devices is adequate.
- . the devices are biocompatible as per ISO10993 standards
- the devices can be used safely and effectively in CT environments
- testing of the Mould Applicator in MRI environments has demonstrated it is safe to use under the conditions specified in the labelling.
Usability has been assessed to the requirements of IEC 62366:2007.
Results of Bench Testing showed conformance to applicable requirements and specifications.
