Intended Use
The Cardioblate® Gemini® Surgical Ablation Device is intended to ablate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery using radiofrequency energy. The system is indicated for use, under direct or endoscopic visualization, in surgical procedures, including minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Device Description
The Medtronic Cardioblate® Gemini® Surgical Ablation Device is a hand-held, single-use, bipolar, radiofrequency ablation device intended to ablate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery. It has a saline irrigation system to deliver fluid at the contact point between the tissue and electrode to cool the tissue during radiofrequency energy delivery and is intended for intermittent operation. Two unique jaw curvatures are provided: a standard curve (Model 49260) and extra curve (Model 49261). The device is provided sterile, nonpyrogenic, disposable, and for single use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical surgical ablation device and does not mention any software features, data processing, or AI/ML terms.

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

No
Explanation: The device is described as an ablation device used to ablate cardiac tissue during surgery, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "hand-held, single-use, bipolar, radiofrequency ablation device" with a "saline irrigation system," indicating it is a physical hardware device that delivers energy.

Based on the provided information, the Cardioblate® Gemini® Surgical Ablation Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended to "ablate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery using radiofrequency energy." This is a therapeutic procedure performed on the patient's body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical tool for tissue ablation, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition
    • Using reagents or assays

In summary, the Cardioblate® Gemini® Surgical Ablation Device is a surgical device used for treatment, not a diagnostic device used for testing samples.

Contraindications:

The Cardioblate® Gemini® Surgical Ablation Device should not be used for patients that have active endocarditis at time of surgery. The device is contraindicated for 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.

Substantial Equivalence:

The historical changes in this submission did not involve changes to control mechanism, operating principles, energy type, indication process. None required clinical evidence to evaluate impact to safety and effectiveness. The changes were considered to be routine changes to maintain or improve device performance based on internal or external feedback. The information generated as part of design verification and validation activities or technical assessments confirmed these changes did not adversely affect the device's safety or effectiveness.

Conclusion:

The modifications to the Cardioblate® Gemini® Surgical Ablation Device, described in this submission, have not altered the fundamental scientific technology or indications for use of the device. The current device is substantially equivalent to the previously submitted and approved predicate Cardioblate® Gemini® Surgical Ablation Device, Models 49260/49261 (K080509).
