It may also be used concurrent with or at the completion of other treatment modalities such as external beam radiation therapy or chemotherapy. ## Device Story CuRay Custom Seed Array is a sterile, single-use brachytherapy assembly; contains radionuclide source seeds, spacers, and markers. Custom-loaded per physician-prescribed treatment plan. Used in clinical settings for localized tumor treatment (head, neck, lung, pancreas, breast, uterus, cervix, prostate). Acts as primary therapy, adjuvant for residual disease, or for recurring tumors; compatible with external beam radiation or chemotherapy. Provides localized radiation delivery to tumor sites. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile, single-use brachytherapy seed assembly. Comprised of radionuclide source seeds, spacers, and markers. Custom-loaded configuration based on treatment plan. No software or electronic components. ## 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 - TheraLoad ([K043596](/device/K043596.md)) - SeedLink ([K023073](/device/K023073.md)) - Readi-Strand ([K023179](/device/K023179.md)) - RAPID-Strand ([K030594](/device/K030594.md)) - Nag Brachyflex Catheters (Cook, Inc.) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

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. 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. {3}------------------------------------------------ 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. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the 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 | Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
