Device Story
Applicator sets for high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy; used for radiation boosts to cervix, uterus, and vagina. Input: HDR radiation source delivered via afterloader. Operation: intrauterine tandems and vaginal colpostats/cylinders guide radiation source to target tissue; adjustable geometry (tandem curvature, ovoid distance) allows anatomical customization. Used in clinical settings by radiation oncologists/physicists. Output: localized radiation delivery to tumor/target tissue. Benefit: enables precise, customized radiation therapy for gynecological malignancies; facilitates treatment in cases with limited vaginal vault space or restricted anatomy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by design comparison, biocompatibility documentation, and performance testing consistent with predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium, Ultem®, Stainless Steel, Silicone, High Temperature Vinyl. Design: Intrauterine tandems and vaginal colpostats/cylinders. Energy: HDR radiation (via external afterloader). Connectivity: Mechanical interface (click-fit) for Elekta/Varian afterloaders. Sterilization: Steam (4 min at 270°F/132°C). Environmental: CT compatible, MR unsafe.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring high dose rate (HDR) radiation treatment of the cervix, uterus, or vagina, as accepted by clinical guidelines. Intended for continuous use up to 24 hours. Contraindications: per standard clinical practice.

Device Description:
The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Fletcher-model Tandem and Ovoid Applicator Set design is based on the conventional modified Fletcher GYN applicator. Kobold manufactures versions compatible with HDR afterloaders. This applicator is mainly utilized for HDR radiation boosts to the cervix and parametrial tissues in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy. This GYN set consists of precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a pair of interlocking vaginal colpostats with Fletcher type unshielded barrel or cylinder ovoids (all components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry). The distance between the two lateral ovoids is adjustable with a lock knob. Four differing tandem geometries are provided in the set: one straight, one with slight curvature, one with medium curvature, and one with maximal curvature. These allow for maximal accommodation of the uterine shape and flexure.
The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Henschke-model Tandem and Ovoid Applicator Set design is based on the conventional modified Henschke GYN applicator. Kobold manufactures versions compatible with HDR afterloaders. This applicator is mainly utilized for HDR radiation boosts to the cervix and parametrial tissues in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy. This GYN set consists of precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a pair of interlocking vaginal colpostats with Henschke type unshielded ovoids (all components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry). The distance between the ovoids is adjustable with a lock knob. Four differing tandem geometries are provided in the set: one straight, one with slight curvature, one with medium curvature, and one with maximal curvature. These allow for maximal accommodation of the uterine shape and flexure.
The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Vaginal Cylinder Applicator Set design is based on conventional cylindrical HDR delivery systems with a connector interface compatible with major manufacturers' afterloaders. This applicator is particularly useful in providing an HDR radiation as definitive treatment, adjuvant treatment, or as a treatment boost to the vaginal walls with or without external beam radiation therapy. The set consists of precision manufactured vaginal cylinders of varied diameters for optimal radiation treatment delivery and anatomical customization.
The CT Compatible / MR Unsafe HDR Kobold® Miami Cylinder Applicator Set design is based on conventional modified Miami applicators with a connector interface compatible with major manufacturers' afterloaders. This applicator set is particularly useful when the vaginal vault space is limited or narrow due to tumor, restricted anatomy, or fibrosis. It can also be useful to treat tumors that extend from the uterus or cervix down onto the vaginal wall. The set consists of a precision manufactured intrauterine tandems and a full set of variable diameter Miami cylinders (all components are designed to allow for customization of the treated geometry). The distance that the tandem is inserted can be customized for each case. Various tandems are provided: straight. slight curvature. medium curvature, and maximal curvature. These allow for maximal accommodation of the uterine flexure.
