The summary describes a microwave ablation system with a power source, probe, and pump. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies for image processing, data analysis, or control algorithms beyond standard digital control.
Yes
The device is intended for coagulation (thermoablation) of soft tissues, which is a therapeutic procedure.
No
The device is used for thermoablation (treatment) of soft tissues using microwaves, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components: a microwave power source (AMICA-GEN), an interstitial applicator (AMICA-PROBE), and a peristaltic pump (AMICA-PUMP). This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device system, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "coagulation (thermoablation) of soft tissues." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a system for "interstitial thermoablation of soft tissues through controlled emission of microwaves." This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
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 directly on the patient.

3. Predicate Device
The HS AMICA is substantially equivalent in function and intended use to the following legally marketed device: VivaWave Microwave Ablation System (K053535) and VivaTip Microwave Ablation Probe (K032702). The HS AMICA pump is equivalent to that of Cool-Tip RF Ablation System (K042216).
Though operating at different microwave frequencies (915 MHz for Vivawave and 2450 MHz for HS AMICA, respectively), both system achieve the thermoablation of selected soft tissues located inside the human body through the local delivery of microwave energy.
Both systems are composed by a microwave generator, a single use interstitial probe capable of penetrating into tissues and delivering microwave energy to target tissues through its active distal tip- and by a peristaltic pump for continuous water circulation inside the probe -for applicator cooling-.

The 'H' and 'S' are connected at the bottom, creating a unified design. There is some noise and artifacts around the letters, possibly due to the image's resolution or compression.
Both systems allow the operator to select the microwave output power level and the procedure time, as required by the specific application. In both systems the microwaye power output is started manually by the operator and may either be stopped manually at any time by the operator, or deactivated automatically when the selected procedure time has elapsed. Both systems exhibit software-based electronic control for comfortable operator's setting, handling and monitoring of the ablation procedure. Both systems are endowed with a variety of software and hardware alarms and protections to prevent excessive energy delivery to tissues, overheating of the probe insertion track and other possible criticalities.
The two systems differ in the overall coaqulative performance and in the probe and microwave source design, structure and architecture.

- Intended Use
HS AMICA is intended for coagulation (thermoablation) of soft tissues; not for use in cardiac procedures.
6. Summary of Technological Characteristics
The HS AMICA has the same basic technological characteristics as the predicate device.
HS AMICA achieves soft tissue coagulation by means of a controlled and confined delivery of microwave energy, locally inducing a temperature increase which leads to cellular necrosis.
AMICA-GEN microwave output is a true sinusoidal wave at 2450 MHz, ranging in power from 0 to 100W, suitable for standard thermoablative procedures on almost any type of human tissue. AMICA-GEN has one microwave output channel. AMICA-GEN not only feeds microwave power to AMICA-PROBE -in manual mode, that is delivering an amount of

microwaye power set by the user, or in automatic mode, that is reaching and maintaining a user selected temperature value by self-regulation of the microwave output-, but also serves as user interface for operative parameters setting (ablation time, power to be delivered or target temperature, maximum allowed temperature), continuously performs and displays measurements of the most significant ablation quantities (elapsed ablation time, delivered microwave power, amount of reflected power in % of delivered power, probe temperature), executes safety checks (presence and fine connection of all peripherals, correct functioning of the power supply unit and of the microwave module, monitoring of measured values), treats errors and alert states providing appropriate acoustic and visual feedback to the user, automatically suspends microwave output in case of emergency and, finally, has full control over the peristaltic pump AMICA-PUMP.
AMICA-GEN is a solid state microwave source, capable of generating microwave power through field effect gallium arsenide transistors driven at 12 VDC: no high voltage parts are employed and maximum electrical safety is guaranteed both to patients and operators.
AMICA-GEN has an essential and intuitive user interface simply based on a touchscreen LCD and a rotary knob for selection and confirmation of settings.
AMICA-PROBE is built around a microwave coaxial antenna operated at 2.45GHz (same frequency as commercial microwave ovens), lodged into a stainless steel needle for direct percutaneous insertion: it is thus indicated for interstitial thermoablations. The applicator features:
-
- a patented miniaturized quarter-wave coaxial choke superimposed to the antenna, which effectively traps reflected microwaves (that is, the portion of delivered power not absorbed by target tissues and propagating backwards along the applicator axis); this mini-choke eliminates uncontrolled back heating effects due to reflections, while keeping the applicator transversal size at a minimum; truly minimal invasiveness and accurate control over the ablated region size and shape are, thus, jointly warranted;
-
- a sharp stainless steel pyramidal point for straightforward tissue penetration;
-
- an integrated hydraulic cooling system to remove the heat dissipated due to ohmic losses along the antenna coaxial feeding line: it avoids overheating of the applicator walls and maximizes the microwave power level handled by the applicator for a given antenna size:
-
- an embedded thermocouple sensor for temperature monitoring inside the applicator:
-
- an embedded "Write Once Read Many" digital memory chip for software identification of the applicator (factory data ensuring product traceability) and for enhanced safety of use (compatibility checks, protection against improper use or tampering, self-limiting of maximum deliverable power, automatic inhibition of yet used or expired applicators);

Finally, the peristaltic pump AMICA-PUMP is a peripheral device fed and controlled directly by AMICA-GEN, needless of any manual intervention by the user (except for the initial placing of the coolant inlet tubing).
External devices (such as a PC for remote control or data downloading) may be daisy chained to AMICA-PUMP and straightforward communicate with AMICA-GEN.
All materials in contact with patients used in manufacturing AMICA-PROBE are suitable for this purpose and have been used in numerous previously cleared procedures.
Performance testing was executed to ensure that HS AMICA functions as intended and meets design specifications. Sufficient data were obtained to show that the device meets safety and effectiveness criteria and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
