Intended Use
The MicroSurgeon Microwave Soft Tissue Ablation Device is intended to be used for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.
Device Description
The MicroSurgeon Microwave Soft Tissue Ablation device model MTAD-100 is intended to be used by the physician for the ablation of soft tissue by the induction of thermal necrosis in the targeted tissue. The ablation occurs by direct application of microwave energy to the targeted tissue by use of a sterile hand held Disposable Patient Probe (DPP). Lesion sizes ablated by the system are determined by preset values within the system algorithm. The MTAD-100 allows the physician to use a minimally invasive procedure that is an alternative to surgical removal of solid tissue anomalies. It is to be used in conjunction with the clinician's knowledge of the patient as well as the results of a physical examination along with clinical findings as deemed pertinent. The MTAD-100 system is not to be used by untrained and unqualified users in a manner other than that for which it is labeled. The systems Microwave Generator Subsystem (MWGS) generates the RF 2,45GHz signal which is delivered to the DPP via related controlled electronics. It has an RF port for connecting an insulated coaxial cable from the DPP, a port for connecting a temperature measuring interface data cable from the DPP, and an RS232 port for connecting the system Control Processing Subsystem (CPS). Additionally the MWGS provides for required patient galvanic isolation, and is mounted to a Portable Transport Console with a caster base for easy transport in the hospital environment, The MWGS component of the MTAD-100 was designed for exclusive use of, and to generate microwave energy to the patient disposable probe cited above. The one time use sterile DPP Hand-piece incorporates a Tip that is inserted directly into the tissue for localized energy delivery, and acts as a microwave radiator in a bipolar mode; thus near-field radiated energy is contained within a limited field with no currents flowing into the patient (as opposed to uni-polar RF Radiators in which current flows thru the patient's body). Two independent Thermo-sensors (provided for further redundancy of the system) located at the tip of the DPP are used to provide for localized temperature measurement during the ablation process. The CPS utilizes these temperature measurements to control the delivery of energy in order to achieve the desired ablation. The CPS, running a Microsoft Windows Operating System, provides for procedure profile programming onto a patient data file; provides user interface and controls the MWGS unit based on predetermined settings. All MWGS functionality and temperature measurements are processed and displayed by this unit, and utilized to achieve a desired ablation. Additionally, it stores all relevant patient information and measured parameters for the procedure.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions a "system algorithm" and "predetermined settings" for controlling energy delivery based on temperature measurements. This indicates a rule-based or programmed control system, not one that learns or adapts using AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test data.

Yes
The device is described as an "ablation device" used for the "surgical ablation of soft tissue" by inducing "thermal necrosis." This direct intervention to alter or destroy tissue for medical treatment clearly indicates a therapeutic function.

No

This device is intended for the ablation (destruction) of soft tissue, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It uses microwave energy to induce thermal necrosis in targeted tissue.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a Microwave Generator Subsystem, a Disposable Patient Probe, a Portable Transport Console, and a Control Processing Subsystem running on a Microsoft Windows Operating System. While software is involved in controlling the system, it is integral to and dependent on the described hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "surgical ablation of soft tissue." This describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's body to destroy tissue.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that delivers microwave energy directly into the tissue via a probe to induce thermal necrosis. This is an interventional procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device performs a therapeutic action (ablation) directly on the patient.
