Intended Use
The Primaeva Medical Finesse System is intended for use in Dermatologic and General Surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.
Device Description
The Primaeva Medical Finesse System is comprised of four primary components; an RF Generator with User Interface Software, a Cooling System Hand Piece, a Cooler Controller, and a disposable Electrode Insertion Device with an integrated cable. RF energy is delivered from the RF Generator, through the electrodes, and into the target tissue. The bi-polar RF energy is delivered between independent adjacent electrode pairs. The RF Generator, Cooler Controller, and Cooling System Hand Piece are not disposable. Each Electrode Insertion Device is supplied sterile and is for single patient use only and cannot be re-sterilized. The insertion device is a hand-held mechanical device that is used to insert the electrodes, at an acute angle, into the target tissue. The device has ten (10) electrodes arranged in a single row array. The device has a mechanism to deploy and retract the electrodes when actuated by the user. There is a cable with a connector that connects to the RF Generator. The Cooler system comprises a solid state cooling device with a feedback loop to monitor and control temperature. The cooling device is placed on the tissue surface during the treatment cycle. The RF Generator is the energy source for the system. Accessory cables and power cords are also supplied with the system.

No
The description focuses on standard RF energy delivery, cooling systems, and mechanical electrode deployment. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making within the device's operation.

Yes
The device is used for electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgical procedures, which are therapeutic medical interventions.

No.
The device's intended use is for "electrocoagulation and hemostasis" in surgical procedures, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including an RF Generator, Cooling System Hand Piece, Cooler Controller, and a disposable Electrode Insertion Device. While there is User Interface Software mentioned, it is part of a larger hardware system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Dermatologic and General Surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis." This describes a therapeutic or surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that delivers RF energy and cooling to tissue. This is consistent with a device used for surgical procedures, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is to directly treat tissue.

Dear Mr. Grigsby:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 26, 2007.

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.

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 Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometric's (OSB's) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at (240) 276-3474. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at (240) 276-3464. You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
