Intended Use
The Tri-Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe is intended for coagulation of soft tissue. Not for use in cardiac procedures.
Device Description
The device consists of 3 pre-shaped curved microwave antennas which is contained within 3 delivery cannulas. The cannulas are attached to a handle mechanism that deploys the antennas into the targeted tissue. RF energy can be used to facilitate deployment of the antennas into tissue. The Vivant VivaWave™ Microwave Generator (K011676) is used to deliver the microwave energy to the curved antennas which heats the tissue within and around the antennas.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical device (ablation probe) and a generator that delivers microwave energy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as being for "coagulation of soft tissue" and uses microwave energy to heat and ablate tissue, which is a destructive process, not a therapeutic one in the sense of restoring health or normal function.

No
The device is described as an ablation probe intended for the coagulation of soft tissue, indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like probes, cannulas, and a handle mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Tri-Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe 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 in vivo (within the body) to treat tissue.
  • Device Description: The device is a probe designed to deliver microwave energy directly to tissue for heating and coagulation. This is an interventional device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is used to directly treat tissue within the body.

Predicate Device

Vivant Medical Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe

Device Description

The device consists of 3 pre-shaped curved microwave antennas which is contained within 3 delivery cannulas. The cannulas are attached to a handle mechanism that deploys the antennas into the targeted tissue. RF energy can be used to facilitate deployment of the antennas into tissue. The Vivant VivaWave™ Microwave Generator (K011676) is used to deliver the microwave energy to the curved antennas which heats the tissue within and around the antennas.

Materials

All patient contact materials used in the manufacture of the Tri-Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe are suitable for this use and have been used in numerous previously cleared products.

Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The Tri-Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe is equivalent to the predicate products. The indications for use, basic overall function, methods of manufacturing, and materials used are substantially equivalent. Vivant Medical believes the Tri-Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe is substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed devices.

Trade/Device Name: Tri-Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4400 Regulation Name: Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GEI Dated: July 1, 2003 Received: July 7, 2003

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.
