Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
This device is a Tracer/Index Implantation Kit designed to provide fiducial markers for soft tissue localization. The kit includes radioactive sources made of platinum/iridium, which are implanted in the prostate to emit photons. These markers are used in conjunction with the Navotek RealEye system to assist in aligning and monitoring patient positioning relative to the isocenter of a linear accelerator during radiotherapy.
The Tracer Implantation Kit is intended for single-use in a radiology setting. It is supplied sterile and classified under product code IYE as a Class II medical device under FDA regulations (892.5050). The kit received FDA 510(k) clearance (K110971) as substantially equivalent, with review by the Radiology Advisory Committee (RA). No third-party review was required, and the device is not intended for MRI use.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the Tracer/Index Implantation Kit used for?
The kit is designed to implant radioactive platinum/iridium fiducial markers into the prostate. These markers emit photons, which help align and monitor patient positioning relative to the isocenter of a linear accelerator during radiotherapy. This ensures precise targeting and reduces errors in treatment delivery.
How is the kit supplied and where is it intended for use?
The kit is supplied sterile and intended for single-use in a radiology setting. It is not reusable and must be used in controlled environments where radioactive materials are handled, such as dedicated radiology or interventional suites.
Are the radioactive sources safe for MRI use?
No, the kit is explicitly not intended for MRI use. The platinum/iridium markers contain radioactive elements that could interfere with MRI imaging or pose safety risks during the procedure.
What regulatory approval does this kit have?
The kit received FDA 510(k) clearance (K110971) as substantially equivalent to a predicate device, with review by the Radiology Advisory Committee (RA). It is classified as a Class II medical device under product code IYE.
How do the markers improve radiotherapy accuracy?
The implanted markers emit detectable photons, which the Navotek RealEye system uses to track the prostate’s position in real time. This continuous feedback ensures the treatment beam remains aligned with the target area, reducing the risk of missing the tumor or damaging healthy tissue.
