The description focuses on software-controlled RF energy delivery and temperature modulation, which are standard functionalities for electrosurgical units and do not indicate the use of AI or ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or training/test sets.
Yes.
The device is intended for the coagulation of cardiac and soft tissue using radiofrequency (RF) energy during surgery, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an electrosurgical system intended for coagulation of tissue using radiofrequency energy, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states the system is comprised of three hardware components: the RF Probe, Electrosurgical Unit (ESU), and Instrument Cable. While the ESU is software-controlled, the system is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the coagulation of cardiac and soft tissue using radiofrequency energy during surgery. This is a therapeutic and surgical application, not a diagnostic one performed on in vitro samples.
- Device Description: The description details an electrosurgical unit, probes, and cables used to deliver RF energy to tissue. This aligns with a surgical device, not a device used to analyze biological samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro, detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
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 interact with and modify tissue during surgery.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Estech Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical System is intended for the coaqulation of cardiac tissue using radiofrequency (RF) energy during cardiac surgery. The System can be used during general surgery to coagulate soft tissue. The System may also be used to coagulate blood and soft tissue to produce hemostasis.

Device Description
The Estech Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical Unit and Estech Cable comprise a system that is identical to the Boston Scientific Cobra Cardiae Electrosurgical System.
Both Systems are comprised of three components: the (radiofrequency) RF Probe, Flectrosurgical Unit (ESU) and Instrument (Cobra) Cable is an accessory to the ESC. The Estech RF Probes have been the subject of previous premarket notifications.
The ESU is a software controlled high frequency electronic instrument, provided with controls for set temperature, power limit, and number of active electrodes. The ESU delivers 460 kHz of RF energy to selected Probe electrodes. The ESU measures temperatures from the Probe thermocouples and modulates the RF encrgy to keep all sclected electrodes' temperatures essentially the same; it adjusts the power output to maintain the maximum temperature of all selected electrodes close to the set point. The ESU has readouts for temperature, time of energy delivery, and delivered power. Front panel connectors include connections for the Instrument Cable, and third party dispersive or indifferent (DIP) electrodes.
The Instrument Cable (Cobra Cable) connects the ESU to the RF Probe. It is supplied sterile to the user. The User can resterilize the Cable.

The Estech Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical System is intended for the coagulation of cardiac tissue using radiofrequency (RF) energy during cardiac surgery. The System can be used during general surgery to coagulate soft tissue. The System may also be used to coagulate blood and soft tissue to produce hemostasis.
e. Comparison to Predicate Device
The Estech Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical Unit is identical in intended use, technology. design, materials, manufacture, and packaging to that of the Boston Scientific Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical System (K013873). The Instrument/Cobra Cables arc accessories to their respective ESU's. They, too, are identical to each other.
Estech concludes that the Estech Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical Unit is substantially equivalent to the Boston Scientific ESU of the Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical System.
f. Summary of Supporting Data
Supporting data is not necessary to support this submission since the Estech Cobra Cardiac FSU is identical to the predicate device, the Boston Scientific ESU of the Cobra Cardiac Electrosurgical System (K013873).

Dear Mr. Coombs:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 6, 2006.
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 (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 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.

Page 2 - Mr. Craig Coombs
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.
This letter will allow you to continue 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) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
