Intended Use

The DevMed is designed to allow precision ultrasound probe alignment and radioactive seed implantation in brachytherapy treatments. A specific application is the treatment of prostate cancer.

Device Story

DevMed Stepping and Stabilizing System is a mechanical device used to facilitate precision ultrasound probe alignment and radioactive seed implantation during brachytherapy. It is primarily utilized in the treatment of prostate cancer. The system provides a stable platform for the ultrasound probe, allowing clinicians to accurately position the probe and guide the implantation of radioactive seeds into the target tissue. The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. By ensuring stable and precise alignment, the system assists the physician in delivering accurate brachytherapy, potentially improving treatment outcomes for patients.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Mechanical stepping and stabilization device for ultrasound transducers. Materials are substantially equivalent to existing predicate devices. Class II device under 21 CFR 892.1570. No electronic, software, or energy-based components described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing brachytherapy treatments, specifically for the treatment of prostate cancer, requiring precision ultrasound probe alignment and radioactive seed implantation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.

Dear Mr. Wiita:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 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 and additionally 809.10 for in yitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
