More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a radiofrequency denervation system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes.
The device is used in "RF heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain," which directly describes a therapeutic application.

No
The device is described as an electrode and cannulae used in radiofrequency lesion procedures for pain relief, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like "temperature sensing electrode," "disposable Smith & Nephew RF Cannula," and "RF Cannulae are offered in a variety of sizes and tip configurations." These are hardware components, not 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 "RF heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "temperature sensing electrode" and "cannulae" used to facilitate placement and perform a procedure. This aligns with a surgical or interventional device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is clearly in vivo (within the body) and therapeutic.

Dear Ms. Mildwoff:

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.
