The COBRA Fusion® ablation system is intended to ablate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgerv using radiofrequency (RF) energy when connected directly to the Electrosurgical unit (ESU).
The COBRA Fusion Pacing/Recording Adapter Cable may be used for temporary cardiac pacing, sensing, recording, and stimulation during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias during surgery when connected to a temporary external cardiac pacemaker or recording device.
The COBRA Fusion ablation system consists of a single use, sterile, ablation probe with integrated suction to engage the tissue during the ablation procedures; single use, sterile, magnetic retriever system to facilitate introduction and advancement of the probe, a temporary external pacing cable and an electrosurgical unit with accessories.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the COBRA Fusion Ablation System. It explicitly states that this is a "Special 510(k) (CBE)" which contains labeling modifications only and that "There are no changes to the labels affixed to the device or the packaging" and "no changes to the device specifications." Furthermore, it states, "Non-clinical Bench Testing previously conducted per K113475 remains applicable as follows..." and lists various types of testing.
Therefore, the document does not describe a new study or new acceptance criteria for device performance. Instead, it relies on the performance data and acceptance criteria established for the predicate device (K113475). The current submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on the lack of changes to the device itself and its performance.
As such, I cannot provide the information requested in your prompt as it pertains to a new study proving the device meets acceptance criteria. The document explicitly states that the prior testing for the predicate device (K113475) is still applicable due to no changes in the device's design, materials, or performance specifications.
Here's a breakdown of what can be inferred from the provided text, and what cannot:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance:
* Not provided. The document states that the prior non-clinical bench testing from K113475 remains applicable. Specific acceptance criteria and quantitative performance results for that prior testing are not detailed in this document.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
* Not provided for new testing. The document states that prior testing is applicable due to no changes in the device. There is no new test set described.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
* Not applicable/Not provided. This type of information is relevant for studies involving expert review of diagnostic outcomes, which is not described.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
* Not applicable/Not provided. This is also relevant for studies involving expert review of diagnostic outcomes.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
* Not applicable. This device is an electrosurgical ablation system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
* Not applicable. This device is an electrosurgical ablation system, not an AI algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
* Not applicable for new testing. For the prior mechanical/electrical/biocompatibility testing, the "ground truth" would be the engineering specifications and recognized standards, but the specifics are not detailed here.
8. The sample size for the training set:
* Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
* Not applicable.
In summary, this 510(k) submission (K190151) is a CBE (Change Being Effected) Special 510(k) that focuses on labeling modifications and asserts that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate (K113475) because no physical changes or performance alterations have been made. Therefore, details regarding new performance studies or acceptance criteria are not found within this document.

Dear Melissa Smallwood:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
