No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components of the device and the mechanism of microwave energy delivery for tissue ablation. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is used for surgical ablation of soft tissue and muscles, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
Explanation: The device, Guidant FLEX 10® MIS Ablation Probe, is described as an ablation device used for surgical ablation of tissue to create an inflammatory response or thermal necrosis. It applies microwave energy to destroy tissue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, hand-held probe with various hardware components (handle, shaft, sheath, cable, antenna) that delivers microwave energy. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Guidant FLEX 10® MIS Ablation Probe is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the surgical ablation of soft tissue and muscles within the body (in vivo). IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the body (in vitro), such as blood, urine, or tissue samples, to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The device is a surgical tool used to apply energy directly to tissue during a surgical procedure. It does not analyze or test biological samples.
- Mechanism of Action: The device works by creating thermal necrosis or an inflammatory response in the target tissue through microwave energy. This is a direct therapeutic action on the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, the Guidant FLEX 10® MIS Ablation Probe is a surgical device used for therapeutic purposes, not an IVD device used for diagnostic testing of samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Guidant FLEX 10® MIS Ablation Probe is indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue and striated, cardiac, and smooth muscles. The system is a device indicated for use, under direct visualization, in surgical procedures, including minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures. The probes ablate the target tissue by creating an inflammatory response, or thermal necrosis.

Device Description
The FLEX 10® MIS Ablation Probe is designed for use in conjunction with the Device Guidant 1000 Series Microwave Generator. The Ablation Probe is an intraoperative, sterile, single-use, hand-held device that applies microwave energy to tissue. The Ablation Probe is comprised of a 24-cm-long, rigid handle with position indicators, a metallic shaft, a proximal control tube, a flexible sheath featuring black numbered markings together with right and left hand side markings, a detachable distal control tube, and a guide lead with sutures. The Ablation Probe further includes a 2-m-long insulated coaxial cable, which attaches to the generator output cable connector. The Microwave Generator's output (2450 MHz) is conducted through the output cable connector, into the cabling of the Ablation Probe, and out the antenna at the distal section of the Ablation Probe. The emitted microwave energy is directed toward the target tissue from the active surface opposite the corresponding numbered marking (segment), and creates a continuous lesion approximately 26 mm long. The black side-markings indicate the sides of the sheath. The numbered markings designate each numbered segment of the sheath and correspond to the position indicators on the handle. The ablations are created by independently activating the microwave ablation element at one or more of the corresponding numbered segments, which are selected by moving the sliding ring on the handle.

Dear Ms. Rowe:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 27, 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.
