Intended Use
The SURx RF System is indicated for shrinkage and stabilization of female pelvic tissue for treatment of stress urinary incontinence due to hypermobility.
Device Description
The SURx RF System consists of two components: the SURx Radiofrequency (RF) Generator and the SURx Applicator. The SURx Applicator connects to the Generator. The SURx Applicator is supplied sterile and intended for single use. The Applicator uses a bipolar design, such that no return pad is required for operation. The tip of the Applicator contains a thermistor to monitor temperature at the targeted area. Two applicators are available: one for use when performing this procedure using a laparoscopic approach (LP Applicator), the other applicator is used during a transvaginal approach (TV Applicator). The SURx Transvaginal (TV) Sizer is an optional accessory for use with the SURx TV Applicator. The SURx TV Sizer confirms the exposed area for treatment is adequate to Applicator. The SON blunt dissection is required prior to applying the SURx TV Applicator tip on the tissue to treated.
More Information

"Not Found"

No
The device description focuses on radiofrequency technology and temperature monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, decision-making, or image processing. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for "shrinkage and stabilization of female pelvic tissue for treatment of stress urinary incontinence due to hypermobility," which describes a therapeutic action.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that the SURx RF System is used for shrinkage and stabilization of tissue, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic
function. It doesn't collect or analyze data to identify a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components: a generator, applicators (LP and TV), and an optional sizer. These are physical devices, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic or monitoring purposes.
  • SURx RF System Function: The SURx RF System is a therapeutic device. It uses radiofrequency energy to directly treat female pelvic tissue for stress urinary incontinence. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "shrinkage and stabilization of female pelvic tissue for treatment of stress urinary incontinence," which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a generator and applicator that apply energy to tissue, not a system for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the SURx RF System is a therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON

Technological Characteristics

There has been no change to the generator or applicators. The system is identical to that cleared in the referenced 510(k)s.

Indications for Use

Substantial equivalence for the SURx RF System is supported by the predicate devices, which has an identical indication statement.

Clinical Performance Data

The SURx RF System has been cleared for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Clinical analysis was conducted to support the change in the language in the indications for use statement. Sufficient data have been gathered from clinical studies to determine that the SURx RF System performs as clinically intended and that no new issues of safety and effectiveness are introduced.

Literature Review

Published literature was reviewed on devices cleared for the treatment of female urinary incontinence as additional supporting documentation to support the modified indication for use.

CONCLUSION

Based on the design, materials, function, intended use, and clinical evaluation, the SURx RF System is substantially equivalent to the devices currently marketed under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Safety and effectiveness are reasonably assured, justifying 510(k) clearance.

Dear Mr. Curtis:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of May 30, 2002.

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.

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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical

device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
