More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgery device for cardiac ablation and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

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

No
The device is described as an electrosurgery device intended to ablate cardiac tissue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "sterile, single use electrosurgery device" and a "sterile, single use, electrosurgery device to be used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator," indicating it is a physical hardware device that delivers radiofrequency energy.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Coolrail Pen Function: The Coolrail Pen is an electrosurgery device used during cardiac surgery to ablate (destroy) cardiac tissue using radiofrequency energy. This is a therapeutic procedure performed inside the body.

The intended use and device description clearly indicate that the Coolrail Pen is a surgical tool used for treatment, not for diagnostic testing of samples.

Dear Mr. Job:

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.
