Intended Use
The LesionPoint RF Cannula is indicated for use in RF heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain.
Device Description
The LesionPoint RF Cannula is used in conjunction with the commercially available Cosman RFG-1A Lesion Generator (K050084) to create radiofrequency (RF) heat lesions for the treatment of pain. The LesionPoint RF Cannula is a stainless steel cannula with an insulated shaft having an exposed (uninsulated) tip to deliver the RF energy to the tissue. The LesionPoint RF Cannula is provided as a sterile, single use, disposable device. The LesionPoint RF Cannula will be available in a variety of lengths and gauges. The LesionPoint RF Cannula is provided sterile packed, and is labeled for Single Use Only.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use describe a simple RF cannula used for delivering energy, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for use in RF heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is used to create heat lesions for pain relief, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic procedure.

No

The device description explicitly states the LesionPoint RF Cannula is a physical, stainless steel cannula with an insulated shaft and exposed tip, which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the LesionPoint RF Cannula is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in RF heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a cannula used to deliver RF energy to tissue within the body. This is consistent with an in-vivo (within the living body) procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The LesionPoint RF Cannula's function is to deliver energy for therapeutic lesion creation, which falls outside the scope of IVD.

Dear Dr. Arnold:

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.

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 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.
