## Indications for Use
The intended use of the device is gynecological brachytherapy procedures for cancer treatment of the cervix and endometrium. Optional needles can be placed for interstitial brachytherapy.
## Device Story
Applicator set for gynecological brachytherapy; used with Nucletron microSelectron afterloaders. Device features guiding holes in ring or ovoid components allowing insertion of Proguide needles into tumors. Enables asymmetric dose distribution; facilitates treatment of carcinoma where no lumen or cavity exists. Constructed from polymers to minimize CT/MR imaging distortion. Optional MR line markers (Teflon tubes with fluid) used for visualization during imaging, removed prior to treatment. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Output is physical guidance for radiation source delivery; assists in precise dose distribution for cancer treatment.
## Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only.
## Technological Characteristics
Polymer construction for CT/MR compatibility; guiding holes for interstitial needle placement; accessory to remote-controlled afterloader systems. Optional Teflon MR line markers. No electronic or software components.
## 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.
## Predicate Devices
- Ring CT/MR Applicator Set and Standard CT/MR Applicator set (k983341)
## Reference Devices
- Proguide needles (k060349)

## Description:
The Interstitial Ring CT/MR Applicator Set is based on the Ring CT/MR Applicator Set enhanced with the addition of nine guiding holes in the ring tube (seven holes for part number 110.130). These guide holes allow placement of guiding tubes through which Proguide needles (k060349) can be inserted into the tumor. The addition of interstitial needles makes it possible to achieve asymmetric alteration of the dose distribution. The needles are inserted

..
perpendicular to the ring and are parallel to the tandem. The applicator is fully CT/MR compatible. The device is composed of polymers, to eliminate distortion on CT or MR imaging. Interstitial needles can be used for treatment of carcinoma where no lumen or cavity is available.
The device is similar to the legally marketed predicate device Vienna Ring CT/MR Applicator Set. The difference between this device and the Vienna Ring CT/MR Applicator Set is that this device allows the use of Proguide needles instead of the titanium needles used with the Vienna Ring CT/MR Applicator Set
The Utrecht Interstitial Fletcher CT/MR Applicator Set is based on the legally marketed predicate device Standard CT/MR Applicator Set enhanced with five similar guiding holes in each ovoid as the guiding holes in the ring of the Interstitial Ring CT/MR Applicator Set. These guiding holes allow placement of guiding tubes through which Proguide needles (k060349) can be inserted into the tumor. The addition of interstitial needles makes it possible to achieve asymmetric alteration of the dose distribution. The needles are inserted perpendicular to the ovoids. The applicator is fully CT/MR compatible. The device is composed of polymers, to eliminate distortion on CT or MR imaging. Interstitial needles can be used for treatment of carcinoma where no lumen or cavity is available.
The MR line markers are optional devices that can make the channels of the Nucletron CT/MR applicators visible using magnetic resonance imaging. The markers consist of a thin Teflon tube that can be filled with an appropriate fluid that is clearly visible on magnetic resonance images.
The tubes are inserted before imaging in the channels of the CT-MR applicator and are removed before the treatment of the patient.
The devices are used as accessories to the Nucletron microSelectron Afterloaders
## Intended use:
The intended use of the device is gynecological brachytherapy procedures for cancer treatment of the cervix and endometrium. Optional needles can be placed for interstitial brachytherapy.
## Summary of technological considerations:
The Interstitial Ring CT/MR Applicator Set and the Utrecht Interstitial Fletcher CT/MR Applicator Set are substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate devices, Ring CT/MR Applicator Set and Standard CT/MR Applicator set, k983341
