Intended Use
The Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System is indicated for the ablation of soft tissue during open procedures. The Solero MTA System is not indicated for cardiac use.
Device Description
The Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System is a softwarecontrolled, microwave generator with an integrated peristaltic pump that surgically ablates soft tissue through sterile applicators. The system may be used during open procedures for the ablation of soft tissue. The Solero Generator is distributed with a main power cable and a footswitch, which may be used as an alternate means of controlling microwave activation in place of the microwave button on the front of the generator. Power is delivered through the disposable Solero Applicator, which are provided separately. A chilled saline source is required to maintain the Solero Applicators at an appropriate temperature.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on hardware and software control for microwave ablation, without mentioning any AI/ML functionalities.

Yes.

The device is intended for the ablation of soft tissue during open procedures, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as an ablation system for surgically ablating soft tissue, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "software-controlled, microwave generator with an integrated peristaltic pump" and includes hardware components like a generator, power cable, footswitch, and disposable applicators. Performance studies also include hardware testing.

Based on the provided information, the Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "ablation of soft tissue during open procedures." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that generates microwave energy and delivers it through applicators to surgically ablate tissue. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or the use of reagents, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Solero MTA System's function is to physically alter tissue within the body.

Human Factors Evaluation:
Simulated Use / Human Factors Testing has been conducted to evaluate the application of the Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System (i.e., Solero System) when used to ablate soft tissue.

Animal Studies:
Performance characterization was performed on three difference exvivo tissue; bovine liver, porcine kidney, and porcine lung, as these are considered to be comparable to human tissue. Testing was performed at varying time settings and power limits. The purpose of this testing was to support the recommended ablation settings, as well as demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

Two GLP compliant animal studies were performed. The first study was to evaluate and establish substantial equivalence of the Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System to its predicate device Acculis Accu2I pMTA Applicator and SulisVPMTA Generator (K122762) and reference device Certus 140 System (K113237). The study also looked at the fundamental operational characteristics for the Solero MTA System. Safety was assessed from: animal behavior, ECG's, respiration rates, and temperature.

The second study's objective was to evaluate the safety and performance of the Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System to its predicate device Acculis Accu21 pMTA Applicator and SulisVpMTA Generator (K122762) during open surgical procedure in an acute porcine model. This study specifically evaluated and compared the safety at the highest power (140W) and time (6 minutes) of the two devices.

Dear Ms. Newcomb:

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.
