## Indications for Use

The Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System is intended to deliver high dose rate x-ray radiation for brachytherapy.

## Device Story

Axxent Surface Applicator is a component of the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System; utilizes miniaturized x-ray source instead of radioactive isotopes. Applicator delivers high-dose rate, low-energy radiation to skin and tissue surfaces; mimics penetration/dose characteristics of Iridium-192. Provided in multiple circular aperture sizes for various lesion sizes; reusable and sterilizable; includes single-use disposable end caps to flatten treatment surface. Used in clinical settings for surface brachytherapy and IORT; operated by healthcare professionals. Output allows precise radiation delivery to target tissue; benefits patient by providing localized radiation therapy without radioactive isotopes.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Reusable, sterilizable surface applicator with multiple circular aperture sizes; includes single-use disposable end caps. Functions as part of the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System using a miniaturized x-ray source. No software or electronic sensing components described for the applicator itself.

## Regulatory Identification

An x-ray radiation therapy system is a device intended to produce and control x-rays used for radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.

## Predicate Devices

Axxent® Surface Applicator 510(k)

Xoft. Inc. Sunnyvale, California

#### Device Description

The Axxent Surface Applicator is a component of the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System which utilizes a proprietary miniaturized x-ray source and does not require radioactive isotopes. The applicator allows the Axxent HDR Xray Source to deliver high-dose rate, low energy radiation treatment to skin and tissue surfaces. The Axxent HDR X-ray Source mimics the penetration and dose characteristics of Iridium-192 within the treatment target. The Axxent Surface Applicator is provided in multiple circular aperture sizes to accommodate a range of lesion sizes. The applicators are reusable and sterilizable. Single use disposable end caps are provided to help flatten the treatment surface.

#### Intended Use

The Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System is intended to deliver high dose rate x-ray radiation for brachytherapy.

### Summary of the Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of the Axxent Surface Applicator are the same as the Nucletron Valencia Skin Applicator approved in K073107. The device is substantially equivalent in terms of design, materials, principles of operation, and product specification to the predicate device. A comparison table is available in Tab 8.
