What is it indicated for?
The use of sealed Radioisotopes to treat tumors within the body has been documented and published since the turn of the century. Modern era Radiation Therapy has developed delivery systems using isotopes of Cesium, Iridium, Iodine, and Gold to name a few examples. Many tumors now are treated by internal exposure to radiation emitted from sealed radioactive sources. Two common modalities for this are Low Dose Rate and High Dose Rate remote afterloading…

The use of sealed Radioisotopes to treat tumors within the body has been documented and published since the turn of the century. Modern era Radiation Therapy has developed delivery systems using isotopes of Cesium, Iridium, Iodine, and Gold to name a few examples. Many tumors now are treated by internal exposure to radiation emitted from sealed radioactive sources. Two common modalities for this are Low Dose Rate and High Dose Rate remote afterloading (Brachytherapy). One common use of Brachytherapy is in the treatment of cancer of the vaginal process. The system described in this 510(k) has been developed to function as an applicator for the positioning of sealed sources in the intracavitary treatment of the vagina.
