Intended Use
The Habib Hexablate 10 is intended to be used to assist in coagulation of tissue during intraoperative surgical procedures.
Device Description
The Habib Hexablate 10 is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device that consists of a handle and an array of seven parallel electrodes which extend out from the handle. The electrode configuration consists of six electrodes in a ring and one electrode in the center of the ring. The Habib Hexablate 10 has an attached cable which connects the device to an RF Generator. The electrodes are inserted into tissue and the tissue is coagulated using RF power. The Habib Hexablate 10 is designed for use in surgery and is a single use device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and the mechanism of action (bipolar RF coagulation) and does not mention any AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
Explanation: The device is described as assisting in the coagulation of tissue, which is a therapeutic action (treating or preventing a disease/condition).

No

The device is described as assisting in coagulation of tissue during surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It uses RF energy to coagulate tissue and does not appear to collect any data for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device consisting of a handle, electrodes, and a cable, which are all hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Habib Hexablate 10 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to assist in coagulation of tissue during intraoperative surgical procedures." This describes a device used directly on tissue within the body during surgery.
  • Device Description: The description details a bipolar radiofrequency device with electrodes inserted into tissue for coagulation. This is a surgical instrument used for therapeutic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Habib Hexablate 10 does not perform this function.

Therefore, the Habib Hexablate 10 is a surgical device, not an IVD.

Trade Name:Habib Hexablate 10
Common Name:Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories
Classification:Class II per 21 CFR 878.4400
Product Code:GEI
Previously cleared device:EMcision Habib Hexablate (K071103)

Intended Use:

The Habib Hexablate 10 is intended to be used to assist in coagulation of tissue during intraoperative surgical procedures.

Description:

The Habib Hexablate 10 is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device that consists of a handle and an array of seven parallel electrodes which extend out from the handle. The electrode configuration consists of six electrodes in a ring and one electrode in the center of the ring. The Habib Hexablate 10 has an attached cable which connects the device to an RF Generator. The electrodes are inserted into tissue and the tissue is coagulated using RF power. The Habib Hexablate 10 is designed for use in surgery and is a single use device.

Technological Differences:

The Habib Hexablate 10 has the same basic technological characteristics as the Habib Hexablate. Both devices use bipolar RF energy through a number of electrodes to create a volume of coagulated tissue. The primary difference is in the coagulation zone created

by each device. The Habib Hexablate 10 also uses aspiration through the center electrode to remove fluids and gases from the center of the coagulation zone. The only difference between the previously cleared device and the new modified device is that the previously cleared device has a diameter of 20mm and the Hexablate 10 device has a diameter of 10mm.

Performance Data:

Performance testing was done to ensure that the Habib Hexablate 10 functions as intended and meets design specifications. Sufficient data was obtained to show that the Hexablate 10 meets safety and effectiveness criteria.

Dear Ms. Christensen:

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.
