Indications for Use

The intended use of this device is to act as a quality assurance device to check for the presence of a brachytherapy seed and give indication of dose rate by an audible tone or digital readout on a standard multi meter. The SDF will be used for 'relative' dosimetry. The SDF will be used for 'relative' dosimetry.

Device Story

Scintillating Fiber Dosimeter (SFD) functions as quality assurance tool for brachytherapy procedures; detects presence of radioactive seeds; provides relative dosimetry measurements. Device utilizes scintillating fiber technology to convert radiation exposure into light signals; signals processed to produce audible tone or digital readout on standard multimeter. Used in clinical settings by medical physicists or radiation oncology staff to verify seed placement and dose rate. Output allows clinicians to confirm correct seed positioning and relative dose delivery, ensuring procedural accuracy and patient safety.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Scintillating fiber-based radiation detection; provides output via audible tone or external digital multimeter; intended for relative dosimetry; Class II device (21 CFR 892.5730).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a quality assurance tool to verify the presence of brachytherapy seeds and provide relative dosimetry measurements via audible tone or digital multimeter readout.

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.

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 (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.
