More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a passive grounding pad, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the summary.

No
The device is described as a "dispersive electrode" and "Disposable Grounding Pad" used with an RF system. Its function is to ground the patient, not to treat a specific medical condition or disease.

No
Explanation: The device is a single-use grounding pad used with an RF system, designed to disperse electrical current from a patient's skin, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical grounding pad with hardware components (electrode element, cable, connector) that interfaces with an RF generator. It is not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to be used with an RF system as a grounding pad, which is a component used during a medical procedure performed on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical electrode that adheres to the skin to provide a return path for radiofrequency energy.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a component used during a medical procedure on a patient's body.

Dear Mr. O'Connell:

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.
