Intended Use
General-purpose electrosurgical generator used in conjunction with an electrosurgical accessory handpiece for delivery of RF (radio frequency) electrosurgical current through an accessory electrode for cutting and coagulation at the operative site.
Device Description
The System 2450 is an electrosurgical generator with the basic modes of operation being conventional electrosurgical cutting and coagulation. When cutting, the edge of the electrode is drawn across the tissue while electrosurgical energy is being applied. When coagulating, the accessory electrode may be held in contact with the tissue for desiccation or separated from the tissue by distance for fulguration to achieve the desired result. The device consists of an electrosurgical generator unit to supply high frequency (HF) electrosurgical current to accessory handpieces to produce the therapeutic effect. The device utilizes previously cleared/marketed and required accessories.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard electrosurgical generator with basic cutting and coagulation modes, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

Yes
The device is described as producing a "therapeutic effect" through electrosurgical cutting and coagulation at the operative site.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an electrosurgical generator used for cutting and coagulation at an operative site, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. It supplies electrosurgical current to produce a "therapeutic effect."

No

The device description clearly states it is an "electrosurgical generator unit" which is a hardware component that supplies high-frequency current. It also mentions "accessory handpieces" and "accessory electrode," which are also hardware. The summary does not indicate that the device is solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "General-purpose electrosurgical generator used in conjunction with an electrosurgical accessory handpiece for delivery of RF (radio frequency) electrosurgical current through an accessory electrode for cutting and coagulation at the operative site." This describes a therapeutic device used for surgical procedures, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the electrosurgical generator's function in applying RF current for cutting and coagulation of tissue. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not an analysis of samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), reagents, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Vetter:

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.

2

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
