The device is intended for "Coagulation (thermoablation) of soft tissue," which is a medical procedure used to treat diseases or conditions, thus qualifying it as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as an "integrated system for thermoablation of tissues," which means it is used to destroy tissue (e.g., tumors) using heat, not to diagnose conditions. Its intended use is "Coagulation (thermoablation) of soft tissue."
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a generator with MW and RF modules, and physical applicators (probes) that deliver energy. While there is an electronic control unit, the core function and components are hardware-based.
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 tissue." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device description details a system that delivers electromagnetic energy (microwaves or radiofrequency) through probes inserted into the body to cause thermoablation. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is to treat tissue, not to diagnose a condition.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
HS AMICA devices family is an integrated system for thermoablation of tissues through controlled emission of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiations in the microwave and radiofrequency ranges.
Especially the HS AMICA family consists of 3 devices and relative accessories emitting:
-
- Only microwaves (MW) or
-
- Only radiofrequency waves (RF) or
-
- Either microwaves or radiofrequency waves (not simultaneously)
The three devices emit the specific wavelength through their applicators (probes) that are inserted into the human body and deliver electromagnetic energy through their emitting tip, causing the thermoablation.
Briefly, the HS AMICA devices family consists of two main components: 1) the generator; 2} the applicator (probe).
The generator of the electromagnetic energy is available in the following variants, depending on the specific electromagnetic emission:
- Either microwaves or radiofrequency waves (not simultaneously)
-
- AMICA GEN AGN-H. This variant is characterized by both the MW and RF modules that must be selected by the physician. When the MW function is selected, the RF emission is disabled and viceversa and thus the modules operate in mutually exclusive fashion
-
- AMICA GEN AGN. This variant has only the MW module.
-
- AMICA GEN AGN-R This variant has only the RF module.
In all cases, the AMICA GEN is provided with an electronic control unit (EC), for data exchange with the patient applied parts, the interpretation of user's commands through front panel controls or external peripherals (such as the footswitch for remote energy start/stop), the continuous update of the machine indicators, and the control of the energy generation modules MW and/or RF.
The applicator (probe) is disposable and consists of the following variants, to be used for the MW or RF thermoablation:
- AMICA GEN AGN-R This variant has only the RF module.
-
- AMICA PROBE. This variant is a microwave coaxial antenna of asymmetric dipole type allowing the emission of the MW energy
-
- RF AMICA-PROBE. This variant is used for radiofrequency energy delivery through monopolar interstitial electrode.
HS AMICA devices family consists of non-sterile reusable electronic parts, and sterile disposable applied parts. The disposable components are supplied in sterile conditions (possibly kit with sterile disposable accessories) and they can not be re-sterilized. The sterile components are: Single use kit containing AMICA PROBE with its accessories and Single use kit containing RF AMICA PROBE with its accessories. The sterilization method used for all the sterile components is Ethylene Oxide.
- RF AMICA-PROBE. This variant is used for radiofrequency energy delivery through monopolar interstitial electrode.

4. Device Description
HS AMICA devices family is an integrated system for thermoablation of tissues through controlled emission of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiations in the microwave and radiofrequency ranges.
Especially the HS AMICA family consists of 3 devices and relative accessories emitting:
-
- Only microwaves (MW) or
-
- Only radiofrequency waves (RF) or
-
- Either microwaves or radiofrequency waves (not simultaneously)
The three devices emit the specific wavelength through their applicators (probes) that are inserted into the human body and deliver electromagnetic energy through their emitting tip, causing the thermoablation. Such functions are identical to the predicate devices and especially to the HS AMICA (K083157) concerning the microwave ablation and to the Cool-tip system (K053290) concerning the radiofrequency ablation.
Briefly, the HS AMICA devices family consists of two main components: 1) the generator; 2} the applicator (probe).
The generator of the electromagnetic energy is available in the following variants, depending on the specific electromagnetic emission:
-
- AMICA GEN AGN-H. This variant is characterized by both the MW and RF modules that must be selected by the physician. When the MW function is selected, the RF emission is disabled and viceversa and thus the modules operate in mutually exclusive fashion
-
- AMICA GEN AGN. This variant has only the MW module.
-
- AMICA GEN AGN-R This variant has only the RF module.
In all cases, the AMICA GEN is provided with an electronic control unit (EC), for data exchange with the patient applied parts, the interpretation of user's commands through front panel controls or external peripherals (such as the footswitch for remote energy start/stop), the continuous update of the machine indicators, and the control of the energy generation modules MW and/or RF.

HS AMICA devices family
Identically to the predicate device HS AMICA (K083157), the indication for use of HS AMICA devices family is: "Coagulation (thermoablation) of soft tissue. Not for use in cardiac procedures"
The Indications for use of the predicate device K053290 is not identical to the subject device it includes either the ablation of tissue (identically to the subject device) or the laparoscopic coagulation (which is not provided with the subject device). Therefore the differences do not alter the intended therapeutic use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device relative to the predicate.
ర్. Comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate devices.
The thermoablation is the technological principle for both the predicate devices. It consists of the delivery of microwave or radiofrequency energy to the target tissue, by means of dedicated applicators (probes). The subject device consists of three variants allowing the emission of both the microwave and the radiofrequency (not simultaneously). Concerning the microwave thermoablation the subject device may be found equivalent to the predicate HS AMICA (K083157), while for the radiofrequency thermoablation the subject device may be found equivalent to the predicate Cool-tip system (K053290),
At high level the subject and the predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- Design structure: both the subject and the predicate devices consist of a generator provided with a cooling system and an applicator (coaxial microwave applicator and radiofrequency applicator) connected the generator
- · Power output: the subject device has a power output up to 200 W identically to the predicate K053290
- · Cooling system both the subject and the predicate device (K083157) provide an automated cooling system
- Time of treatment: both the subject and the predicate device K053290 allow up to 30 minutes of treatment
- . Needle temperature: both the HS AMICA devices family and the predicate devices K083157 and K053290 allow the detection of the needle temperature within equivalent range of temperature.
- · Microwave emission frequency: the subject as well as the predicate device K083157 emit at 2450 MHz
- Microwave emission management: the management of the microwave power is manually regulated . for both the subject and the predicate device K083157
- . Radiofrequency emission frequency: the emission frequency of the subject device (450 KHz) is equivalent to the emission frequency of the predicate device K053290 (480 KHz ±10%)
- . Radiofrequency emission management: both the subject and the predicate device K053290 allow manual and automatic management of the radiofrequency power delivery.
- Operative impedance range: both the subject and the predicate device K053290 adopts the same . operative emission range to control power delivery
- . Microwave applicator: both the subject and the predicate device (K083157) have an applicator equipped with stainlees steel needles.
- Radiofrequency applicator tipologies: both the subject and the predicate device K053290 use single . and cluster applicators.
- · Condition of use of applicators: both the subject and the predicate devices K053290 and K083157 use sterile and disposable applicators.

HS AMICA devices family
The following technological differences exsist between the subject and the predicate devices:
- Radiofrequency emission management-algorithms: specific algorithms are used by the subject and the predicate device K053290 to control the maximum power deliverable at the target site. Such control is based on the detection and control of the impedance of the tissue, in both the devices. However, the subject device has an additional control: a specific algorithms allows to control the operative temperature which is selected by the physician by decreasing the RF power delivery for not exceeding the selected temperature. Such feature does not raise new safety nor effectiveness issues and better yet it satisfies higher safety standards.
- Radiofrequency applicator: both the subject and the predicate device K053290 use applicator stainless steel needles. However the dimensional characteristics of the subject device are slightly different relative to the predicate device.
However in no way such differences affect the effectiveness nor the safety of the subject device as demonstrated by a specific performance test (see below).
7. Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination

Electromagnetic compatibilities:
The subject device was tested according to AAMI ANSI IEC 60601-1-2 (19-2). The results demonstrate the compliance with the standard.
Software verification and validation
The HS AMICA medical devices family has been developed and validated according to Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices requirements FDA - May 2005 and according to IEC 62304:2006 (13-8).
-
. Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility evaluation for the subject device was conducted in accordance with Blue Book Memo, G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing and the International standard ISO 10993-1 (2-156). -
. Performance test-bench
Two specific tests were conducted to verify the performance of the subject device compared to the predicate devices K053290 (concerning the radiofrequency ablation) and K083157 (concerning the microwave ablation). The effectiveness of the performance was evaluated through the measurement of the size of the obtained ablation (depth, width and length) on different ex-vivo tissues (muscle, liver, lung and kidney) when considering minimum, maximum and default power setting and all the available gauges and needles.
The results demonstrate that the ablations obtained with HS AMICA have equivalent dimensions compared to the predicate devices K053290 (RF ablation) and K083157 (MW ablation) proving that the performance of the HS AMICA device is at least as good as the performance of the predicate devices.

HS AMICA devices family
8. Conclusions
The performance data including in particular the electrical safety, EMC, software verification and validation support the safety of the HS AMICA devices family and demonstrate that the subject device performs as intended in the specific use conditions. Also, the considerations and bench tests discussed above underline the equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device K083157 with regards to the microwave ablation and to the predicate device K053290 with particular regard to the radiofrequency-based thermoablation.
Therefore, on the basis of evidence discussed above, the HS AMICA devices family may be found substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K083157 and K053290).
