Intended Use
The VivaTip™ Microwave Ablation Probe is intended for coagulation of soft tissue. Not for use in cardiac procedures.
Device Description
The VivaTip Microwave Ablation Probe is a needle-like device that is inserted into soft tissue and coagulates a volume of tissue surrounding the active area of the probe. The probe is to be used with the VivaWave™ microwave power generator. Accessories to assist in cooling the shaft of the probe and to hold multiple probes together for simultaneous ablation are included.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on the physical probe and power generator, with no mention of intelligent algorithms or data processing.

Yes
The device is described as "coagulat[ing] a volume of tissue," which is a therapeutic action. Additionally, the predicate devices are ablation systems, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

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

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "needle-like device" and includes accessories, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the VivaTip™ Microwave Ablation Probe is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • VivaTip Function: The VivaTip™ Microwave Ablation Probe is a device that is inserted directly into soft tissue to coagulate it using microwave energy. It is a therapeutic device used for treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The description clearly indicates a device used for a therapeutic procedure (tissue ablation), not for analyzing a biological sample for diagnostic purposes.

Trade/Device Name: VivaTip™ Microwave Ablation Probe and Accessories Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4400 Regulation Name: Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GEI Dated: August 29, 2003 Received: September 3, 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.
