Questions
AI-generated answers, 23 Sep 2026
What clinical purpose does the EZ-PAK serve?
The EZ-PAK is designed as a packaging modification for existing brachytherapy sources. By delivering preloaded needles or cartridges that contain sealed radioactive sources, it enables clinicians to perform interstitial implantation procedures more efficiently and with reduced handling of individual sources, which is essential in radiology treatments.
How is the EZ-PAK supplied to the user?
The device is supplied as preloaded needles or cartridges that already contain the sealed radioactive sources. This ready‑to‑use configuration eliminates the need for separate source loading steps, ensuring consistent placement and simplifying the workflow for interstitial brachytherapy procedures.
Is the EZ-PAK intended for single‑use or can it be reused?
The EZ-PAK is provided as a preloaded, sealed system intended for a single implantation session. Because the radioactive sources are sealed within the cartridge, re‑sterilizing or reusing the unit could compromise both sterility and source integrity, so it is treated as a single‑use device.
What regulatory clearance does the EZ-PAK have?
The EZ-PAK received FDA 510(k) clearance (K041702) on July 16 2004, classified as a Class 2 medical device under product code KXK and regulation number 892.5730. This clearance indicates it was found substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.
Are there different sizes or models of the EZ-PAK?
The available data do not specify multiple sizes or model numbers for the EZ-PAK; it is described generally as a packaging modification for brachytherapy sources. If size variations exist, they would be defined by the specific needle or cartridge dimensions used for particular interstitial procedures.
