More Information

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, and the device description focuses on hardware components and energy management.

Yes
The device is intended to ablate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is used to ablate cardiac tissue during surgery, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a disposable probe, a reusable energy management device, and associated cables.

Based on the provided information, the Cardima Ablation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "ablate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery using radiofrequency energy." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The components (ablation probe, energy management device, cables) are consistent with a surgical device used for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The target is "cardiac tissue," which is part of the living patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), performing tests in vitro (outside the body), or providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Cardima Ablation System's function is to treat tissue in vivo.

Dear Dr. Chan:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of May 15, 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.

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 (OS) 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.
