Intended Use
The Medtronic Cardioblate® System is intended to ablate cardiac tissue during general surgery using radiofrequency energy.
Device Description
The Medtronic Cardioblate® Surgical Ablation System consists of a reusable radiofrequency generator which can be connected to hand-held monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency ablation devices. The ablation devices are sterile, singleuse devices, operating in either monopolar or bipolar mode, that deliver the radiofrequency energy to the selected tissue.
More Information

No
The summary describes a radiofrequency ablation system with a generator and hand-held devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The performance studies focus on safety and effectiveness in creating electrical conduction blocks, not on AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes
The device is intended to "ablate cardiac tissue," which is a direct treatment of a medical condition.

No
The device is used to ablate cardiac tissue, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a reusable radiofrequency generator and hand-held ablation devices, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Medtronic Cardioblate® System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "ablate cardiac tissue during general surgery using radiofrequency energy." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient's internal tissue, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (which is the hallmark of IVDs).
  • Device Description: The device consists of a generator and hand-held ablation devices that deliver energy to tissue. This aligns with surgical tools used for treatment, not diagnostic testing.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used on "cardiac tissue," which is part of the living patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Cardioblate System is a surgical tool used for treatment.

Predicate Device Intended Uses:

"The Medtronic Cardioblate" System is intended to ablate cardiac tissue during general surgery using radiofrequency energy. " (K013392)

"The Atricure Bipolar (Transpolar) System is intended for the ablation of cardiac tissue during surgery. " (K043579)

The Medtronic Cardioblate® Surgical Ablation System consists of a reusable Device Description: radiofrequency gencrator which can be connected to hand-held monopolar or binolar radiofrequency ablation devices. The ablation devices are sterile, singleuse devices, operating in either monopolar or bipolar mode, that deliver the radiofrequency energy to the selected tissue.

The Cardioblate® Surgical Ablation System is intended to ablate cardiac tissue Intended Use: during cardiac surgery using radiofrequency energy.

The Cardioblate® Surgical Ablation System is contraindicated for patients that Contraindications: have active endocarditis at the time of surgery.

Ablation in a pool of blood (e.g., through a purse string suture on a beating heart). Effects of this type of ablation have not been studied.

Comparison to

The Cardioblate® Surgical Ablation System, including the generator and all Predicate Device: ablation devices, has already been cleared by the FDA with the appropriate premarket notifications referenced above. No changes to the design or technology of the devices are contemplated in this submission. The sole change to the Cardioblate® devices is to clarify the intended tissue as "cardiac tissue" in accordance with the predicate devices (K013392 & K043579). The AtriCure Bipolar System (K0403579) was also device was identified as a predicate device with a similar indication.

Verification and validation testing has demonstrated that all components of the Test Data: Cardioblate Surgical Ablation System are safe and effective. Clinical data demonstrating the acute safety and ability of the device to create lines of electrical conduction block in the heart as assessed intraoperatively are provided to support the indication.

Based on the accumulated technical information, intended use, laboratory Summary: verification tests and clinical performance data provided, the Cardioblate System is substantially cquivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Jain:

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, Or vo 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) 276-0120. 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.
