The summary describes a radiofrequency ablation system with various probes and accessories, focusing on hardware components, power delivery, temperature monitoring, and tissue-specific optimization based on known electrical properties. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, decision-making, or control.
Yes
The device is indicated for the "ablation (coagulation) of soft tissue," which is a medical procedure intended to treat or manage a health condition.
No
The device is described as an "Ablation System" used for "ablation (coagulation) of soft tissue." Its function is therapeutic, performing a physical action (ablation) on tissue rather than gathering information for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a signal source generator, power amplifiers, a touch-screen user interface, an optional footswitch, energy delivery accessories (probes and surgical tools), temperature sensors, and a CO2 based cooling system. While there is a software component (the user interface), the device is fundamentally a hardware system with integrated software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "ablation (coagulation) of soft tissue in percutaneous, open surgical and in conjunction with laparoscopic surgical settings." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The description details a system that generates and delivers energy (microwave) to tissue via probes and surgical tools. This is consistent with a device used for surgical intervention, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the living body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device performs a therapeutic action directly on the patient's tissue.

Device Description
The system has a single 2.45 GHz signal source generator and three (3) independent power amplifiers, each capable of producing up to 140W each. One, easy to use, touch-screen user interface controls the system. The User Interface can be set for either Ablation Mode or Surgical Mode. An optional footswitch can be connected to the system to control power delivery in Surgical Mode. Up to three (3) energy delivery accessories can be connected to and powered by the system at one time. An intermediate junction box or Power Distribution Module (PDM) reduces system set up complexity.
A variety of sterile, single-patient use energy delivery accessories (ablation probes and surgical tools) are available for use with the Certus 140. All are comprised of a sharp trocar on the end of a cannula, a handle, a cable and a connector assembly.
Models Certus™, Certus ", and Certus " ablation probes have 17 gauge cannulas and are available in 15 cm and 20 cm lengths. These probes have a cable length of 1.4m.
The model Certus® ablation probe has a 13 gauge cannula and is available in a 25 cm length only. Certus 6 probes have a cable length of 1.4m.
CertuSurg" surgical tool is hand-held and has a 6cm, 17 gauge cannula designed specifically for surgical coagulation (including Planar Coagulation) in open surgical settings. This device has a finger-activated power delivery mechanism and a cable length of 2.9m.
Each energy delivery accessory contains temperature measurement sensors that help monitor performance and ensure patient and operator safety.
Additionally, the different percutaneous ablation probes have been designed to optimize the energy transfer efficiency from the probe into different types of tissue based on known electrical properties of each tissue.
Certus " probes are designed to perform optimally, in terms of efficiently transferring energy into tissue, in liver and kidney tissue. Certus " probes are designed to perform optimally, in terms of efficiently transferring energy into tissue, in lung tissue.
The antenna of the Certus " probe is designed to limit the length of the ablation for instances when a shorter ablation zone is desired. Certus " Probes were developed to provide physicians with an additional ablation probe designed specifically for ablating smaller lesions. The Certus® probes are designed to produce ablations that quickly encompass the tip of the probe while limiting the overall length of the ablation. Certus® probes will enable physicians to ablate smaller lesions while limiting necrosis of adjacent tissue when compared to other Certus probes.
The Certus $ probes length and gauge size result in a sturdy probe ideal for use in laparoscopic applications.
The CertuSurg " surgical tool is designed to produce focal, rapid coagulation of soft tissue in open surgical applications, including planar coagulation performed prior to tissue resection.
A CO2 based cooling system ensures the non-active portion of the probe does not exceed temperature requirements. Additionally, the CO2 enables the Tissu-Loc function, which can be used to adhere or stick the probe in place prior to starting ablation therapy. This function is similar in use to the stick function available on cryogenic ablation systems. CertuSurg" surgical tool does not have the Tissu-Loc function.
The system uses two (2) E-sized CO2 cylinders. When a tank in use empties, the system will automatically switch to using the other tank and notify the user to replace the empty tank.
