Intended Use
The Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe is intended for coagulation of soft tissue. Not for use in cardiac procedures.
Device Description
The device consists of a pre-shaped curved microwave antenna which is contained within a delivery cannula. The electrode is attached to a handle mechanism that deploys the antenna into the targeted tissue. The electrode comes with a connector that can be attached to a standard RF electrosurgical generator to assist in deployment of the curved microwave antenna into tissue. Once the curved antenna is fully deployed, the RF connector can be removed and the remaining microwave cable is connected to the Vivant VivaWave™ Microwave Generator. The microwave energy is then transmitted to the curved antenna which heats the tissue within and around the antenna.

No
The summary describes a microwave ablation probe and generator system that uses thermal energy for tissue coagulation. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or the specific sections for AI/ML information.

Yes
The Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe is intended for coagulation of soft tissue, which is a therapeutic action.

No
The device is described as an ablation probe that heats tissue to coagulate it, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components including a microwave antenna, delivery cannula, handle mechanism, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "coagulation of soft tissue." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a probe designed to deliver microwave energy to tissue for heating and coagulation. This is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

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

Dear Mr. Kim:

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. 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 such 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); 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.
