The summary describes a standard electrosurgical system and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.
Yes
The device is indicated for various medical procedures such as ablation, coagulation, resection, and treatment of conditions like snoring, nasal obstruction, and tumors, all of which aim to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
The device description and intended use clearly state that this is an electrosurgical system designed for ablation, coagulation, resection, and hemostasis of soft tissues, which are therapeutic and surgical functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a generator, a disposable wand, and a reusable cable, which are all hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The descriptions clearly state that these devices are used for surgical procedures involving the ablation, coagulation, resection, and hemostasis of soft tissues within the body. They are used directly on the patient during surgery.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing samples taken from the body. Its function is to directly interact with and modify tissues within the patient.
Therefore, the described devices fall under the category of surgical or therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Substantial Equivalence
This Special 510(k) proposes a modification in materials to the Wand component of the Electrosurgery Systems, which were previously cleared in K000778 (May 3, 2000), Election 19 19 2000), K001936 (July 19, 2000), K003624 (December 20, 2000), and K010568 (March 27, 2001). The technology, principle of operation, intended uses, performance specifications, dimensional specifications, labeling, packaging, and sterilization parameters of the Electrosurgery Systems remain the same as in the previously cleared 510(k)s.
Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The modified Wand component of the Electrosurgery Systems, as described in this submission, is substantially equivalent to the predicate Wands. The proposed modification in materials is not a substantial change or modification, and does not significantly affect the safety or efficacy of the devices.

Dear Mr. Prothro:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to

comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR 807.97).
