Indications for Use
The intended use of the LV Liberty Vision Model 1 90Yttrium Brachytherapy Source is for the treatment of tumors and benign growths by temporary episcleral irradiation.
Device Story
LV Liberty Vision Model 1 is a singly-encapsulated Yttrium-90 brachytherapy source; consists of solid radioactive Yttrium element hermetically sealed in titanium capsule. Device attaches to manual radionuclide applicator system for temporary episcleral irradiation of tumors and benign growths. Used in clinical settings by trained personnel following licensing authority conditions. Emits beta particles for therapeutic effect. Healthcare providers use device to deliver localized radiation; output affects clinical decision-making by providing targeted treatment for ocular/surface growths. Benefits patient through localized tumor/growth control.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence based on bench testing (ISO 2919/ANSI N43.6 mechanical safety) and Monte Carlo dosimetric simulations.
Technological Characteristics
Solid Yttrium-90 active element; titanium encapsulation. Max source diameter 9.6mm, thickness 0.75mm. Beta emission (end-point 2280 keV, average 934 keV). Mechanical safety meets ISO 2919/ANSI N43.6 Class C53211. Manual operation; no electrical/thermal components. Sterility not required as device does not directly contact patient.
Indications for Use
Indicated for episcleral brachytherapy of tumors and benign growths. Intended for use within a manual brachytherapy system.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A radionuclide brachytherapy source is a device that consists of a radionuclide which may be enclosed in a sealed container made of gold, titanium, stainless steel, or platinum and intended for medical purposes to be placed onto a body surface or into a body cavity or tissue as a source of nuclear radiation for therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A prostate seeding kit intended for use with a radionuclide brachytherapy source only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Dr. Finger:
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.

### Section 807.92(b)
- (7) Nonclinical Tests
### Physical Testing
The LV Liberty Vision Model 1 90 Yttrium Brachytherapy Source has been subjected to the tests specified in American National Standard (ANSI) N43.6 and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 2919, as referenced in the FDA "Guidance for the Submission of Premarket Notifications for Photon-Emitting Brachytherapy Sources" dated 2 August 2000.
Prototype sources were subjected to the tests specified in ANSI N43.6-2007 and ISO 2919-2012 and have equaled or exceeded the requirements corresponding to a classification of C53211, which is the requirement for brachytherapy sources. This exceeds to the physical testing of the predicate device.
#### Dosimetry
The dose distribution around the LV Liberty Vision Model 1 90 fttrium Brachytherapy Source was calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. This is equivalent to the dosimetry of the predicate device.
- (8) Clinical Tests
Not Applicable
- (9) Conclusions
The results of the nonclinical physical testing and the dosimetric analysis, demonstrate that the LV Liberty Vision Model 1 ** Yttrium Brachytherapy Source is as safe, as effective, and performs as well or better than the legally marketed predicate device, Salutaris Medical Devices, Inc. Smd Sr90-1 Radionuclide Brachytherapy Source, cleared under 510(k) number K142701 dated 24 April 2015.
