## Indications for Use

The BEBIG IsoSeeds® Pd-103 are intended for use in the treatment of cancer with radioactive sources in close proximity to or within the tumor.

## Device Story

BEBIG IsoSeeds® Pd-103 are cylindrical, sealed brachytherapy sources containing Pd-103 radioactivity; used for localized tumor treatment. Sources consist of metallic Pd-103 deposited within a porous ceramic tube, encased in a titanium capsule, and sealed via laser weld. A gold wire serves as a radiopaque marker. Sources are provided non-sterile and require sterilization before use. Clinicians implant these sources in close proximity to or within tumors to deliver localized radiation therapy. The device provides a therapeutic benefit by targeting malignant tissue while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy structures.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, adherence to international standards for sealed radioactive sources (ISO 2919, ISO 9978, ANSI/HPS N43.6-1997), and quality system compliance.

## Technological Characteristics

Cylindrical sealed source, 4.5 mm length, 0.8 mm diameter. Materials: Titanium (ASTM F67-95 grade 2) capsule, porous ceramic core, gold wire radiopaque marker. Energy source: Pd-103 radionuclide (half-life 16.97 days). Sterilization: Steam sterilization required. Standards: ISO 2919, ISO 9978, ANSI/HPS N43.6-1997, DIN EN 25426.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- UroMed Brachytherapy Iodine-103 Source ([K982226](/device/K982226.md))
- Theragenics Modified Palladium Seed ([K874787](/device/K874787.md))

## Intended Use

The BEBIG IsoSeeds® Pd-103 are intended for use in the treatment of cancer with radioactive sources in close proximity to or within the tumor.

#### Indications for use

The BEBIG Pd-103 Radionuclide Brachtherapy Sources are indicated for the treatment of selected localized tumors. These sources are commonly used to treat superficial, intraabdominal and intrathoracic tumors. Tumors of the head, neck, lung, pancreas and prostate are commonly treated. They may be used alone, or in combination with external beam radiation.

#### Description

The BEBIG IsoSeeds® Pd-103 are cylindrical sealead sources containing Pd-103 radioactivity. The sources are 4.5 mm long and 0.8 mm in diameter. The outer capsule of the source is composed of titanium being closed at one end and sealed by a laser weld at the other end in a final step. The metallic palladium-103 is deposited within a porous ceramic tube. A radiopaque marker is located in the center of the ceramic tube to serve as an x-ray marker. The radiopaque marker is composed of gold wire.

Palladium seeds have a half live of 16,97 days and are available in a range of activity levels. The BEBIG IsoSeeds® Pd-103 are provided non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use.

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 legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce pror 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). 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 and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Aproval), 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 equivalion assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, 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 notfication submission does not affect any obligation you micht 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 vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compiance at (301) 594-4591. Additionally, for question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
