Intended Use
The VivaWave™ Microwave System is intended for coagulation of soft tissue
Device Description
The VivaWave™ Microwave System consists of an external microwave generator and probe. The generator is manually set at the desired power levels by the operator. Procedure time is also preset by the operator. The generator is connected to the probe through a connector. The external generator unit measures approximately ( 13"H x 17"W x 3.5"D) The exterior housing is formed of aluminum coated with plastic. The unit contains electric circuits, circuit boards, and integrated control panel. The major components of the generator are cooling fans, power supply, microwave module and the front panel/control board assembly. The probe is a specifically designed antenna coated with Teflon (PTFE). The probe is permanently attached to a cable that carries the energy from the generator to the tip of the probe. The proximal end of the cable has a connector that fits into the generator and allows the energy to be delivered to the probe.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on manual controls and standard electrical components, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended for "coagulation of soft tissue," which is a direct medical intervention to treat or manage a condition, thereby performing a therapeutic function.

No

The device is intended for the coagulation of soft tissue, indicating a therapeutic or surgical function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components including an external microwave generator, probe, electric circuits, circuit boards, cooling fans, power supply, and a microwave module. It is a physical system, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the VivaWave™ Microwave System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "coagulation of soft tissue." This is a therapeutic procedure performed in vivo (within the body) on a patient.
  • Device Description: The device is a microwave system with a generator and probe designed to deliver energy to tissue. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The VivaWave™ system's function is to directly treat tissue within the body.

Trade Name: VivaWave™ Microwave System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4400 Regulation Name: Electrosurgical Cutting and Coagulation Device and Accessories Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: NEY and GEI Dated: May 8, 2002 Received: May 9, 2002

Dear Mr. Kim:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of June 18, 2002 regarding the regulation name and number for your device. The regulation number for product code NEY has been changed from 878.4350 to 878.4400.

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 (PMA). 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 (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.
