The 510(k) summary describes a standard RF electrode and its physical characteristics, intended use, and performance testing. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is intended for coagulation and ablation of tissue, which are therapeutic actions to treat or modify a biological process in the patient.
No
This device is used for percutaneous and intraoperative coagulation and ablation of tissue, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as electrodes, tubing, handle, and a grounding pad, indicating it is a hardware device, 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 "percutaneous and intraoperative coagulation and ablation of tissue." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The device is an "electrosurgical accessory" used for tissue coagulation and ablation. It works by applying radiofrequency energy directly to tissue.
- Mechanism of Action: The description details how the electrode delivers RF energy and is cooled, all within the context of directly interacting with tissue inside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a therapeutic device used to treat tissue directly.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The non-clinical performance tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the star/VIVA RF Electrodes and its equivalence to the predicate device. A drop test, bending force test, electric conduction and flow rate test were performed to minimize the risks associated with mechanical failure and short circuiting. The temperature monitoring test was performed to demonstrate that the temperature sensing.
The test on thermal effects was performed to evaluate the width and depth of thermally damaged zone in relation to the tip length, gauge, power setting, and duration for different tissue types. The test was performed on liver, kidney, and muscle tissue according to the FDA Guidance 'Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery'.
The non-clinical tests all met the acceptance criteria specified in the standards.

When compared to the predicate devices (K163450), the star/VIVA RF Electrodes presented in this submission has the same of the followings:
- Intended Use
- · Technological Characteristics
- · Energy Used
- · Operation Principle
- · Sterile
- Single Use
- Connector Type
A few differences are as follows
- · Physical Specifications
- · Patient Contacting Materials (VIVA RF Electrode)
There is no significant difference between the star/VIVA RF Electrodes and the predicate device that would adversely affect the use of the product. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, technological characteristics, used energy, operation principle, sterile and single use.
Even though the physical specifications and patient contacting materials of the predicate device and the subject device are different, the results of the safety testive electrode (IEC 60601-2-2 and AAMI HF 18), bench testing, ex vivo testing (thermal effects on tissue) and biocompatibility testing proved that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

9. Summary of Non-Clinical Data
The non-clinical performance tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the star/VIVA RF Electrodes and its equivalence to the predicate device. A drop test, bending force test, electric conduction and flow rate test were performed to minimize the risks associated with mechanical failure and short circuiting. The temperature monitoring test was performed to demonstrate that the temperature sensing.
The test on thermal effects was performed to evaluate the width and depth of thermally damaged zone in relation to the tip length, gauge, power setting, and duration for different tissue types. The test was performed on liver, kidney, and muscle tissue according to the FDA Guidance 'Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery'.
star/VIVA RF Electrodes comply with the following international and FDA-recognized consensus standards:
| IEC 60601-2-2: | Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-2: Particular
requirements for the safety of high frequency surgical
equipment |
|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| AAMI HF 18: | Electrosurgical Devices |
| ISO 10993-1: | Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1:
Evaluation and testing within a risk management process |
| ISO 10993-5: | Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for
in vitro cytotoxicity |
| ISO 10993-10: | Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for
irritation and skin sensitization |
| ISO 10993-11: | Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 11: Tests for
systemic toxicity |
The IEC 60601-2-2 standard only applies to the sections (101.3) and the AAMI HF 18 standard only applies to the sections (5.2 and 5.5) since the subject device only consists of active electrodes.
The non-clinical tests all met the acceptance criteria specified in the standards.

10. Summary of Clinical Data
No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed.
11. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b) (3)]
The subject Device is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed and predicate devices in terms of design features, fundamental scientific technology, indications for use, and safety and effectiveness.
Additionally, substantial equivalence was demonstrated through the non-clinical performance, which complied with the requirements specified in the international and FDA-recognized consensus standards, IEC60601-2-2, AAMI HF 18, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11, ISO 10993-11, bench testing and ex vivo testing (thermal effects on tissue), which complied with the requirements specified in the CDRH's Guidance for Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery.
The results of these tests demonstrate that star/VIVA RF Electrodes meet the acceptance criteria and is adequate for this intended use. The comparison of technological characteristics, nonclinical performance data, safety testing demonstrates that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and performs as well as the predicate device.
