## Indications for Use

The intended use of SPEC Model M-19 Brachytherapy Source is for the treatment of cancer by temporary interstitial, intracavitary, intraluminal, intraoperative or surface irradiation.

## Device Story

SPEC Model M-19 is a singly-encapsulated 192Iridium brachytherapy source; consists of solid radioactive 192Iridium pellet sealed in stainless steel capsule; attached to cable for manipulation by remote afterloading system. Used in clinical settings for temporary interstitial, intracavitary, intraluminal, intraoperative, or surface irradiation to treat localized tumors. Device provides radiation therapy; clinical decision-making relies on physician-directed treatment planning for cancer management. Benefits include targeted delivery of radiation to tumor sites.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and design similarities to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Singly-encapsulated 192Iridium brachytherapy source; stainless steel capsule; solid radioactive 192Iridium pellet; cable attachment for remote afterloading system; maximum activity 12 Ci.

## Regulatory 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.

Trade/Device Name: Model M-19 1921ridium Brachytherapy Source Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.5700 Regulation Name: Remote controlled radionuclide applicator system Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.5730 Regulation Name: Radionuclide brachytherapy source Regulatory Class: II Product Code: JAQ and KXK Dated: March 10, 2006 Received: March 13, 2006

Dear Mr. Munro:

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.

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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows the FDA Centennial logo, which includes the years 1906-2006. Below the logo, the text "Protecting and Promoting Public Health" is written in a decorative font. The logo is circular and contains the letters "FDA" in a bold, stylized font. The text is centered and appears to be part of a larger document or poster.

{3}------------------------------------------------

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); 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.

1f you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please 11 you done office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

| 21 CFR 876.xxxx | (Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology) | 240-276-0115 |
|-----------------|----------------------------------|--------------|
| 21 CFR 884.xxxx | (Obstetrics/Gynecology)          | 240-276-0115 |
| 21 CFR 892.xxxx | (Radiology)                      | 240-276-0120 |
| Other           |                                  | 240-276-0100 |
