More Information

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical RF electrode and generator system. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The performance studies focus on mechanical and thermal properties, not algorithmic performance.

Yes.
The device is used for "coagulation of soft tissue," which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating or modifying biological tissue.

No

The device is indicated for "coagulation of soft tissue," which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as an electrode tip, insulation part, handle, tubing set, and grounding pad, and describes mechanical and thermal performance testing of these physical components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "coagulation of soft tissue". This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "electrosurgical accessory" used in conjunction with an RF generator. It involves applying radio frequency energy to tissue.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device works by using radio frequency energy to heat and coagulate tissue. This is a physical interaction with the patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used for direct therapeutic intervention on the patient.

When compared to the predicate device (K150029), the EUSRA RF Electrode presented in this submission has the same of the followings:

  • Intended Use
  • Technological Characteristics
  • · Energy Used
  • · Operation Principle
  • · Sterile
  • Single Use

A few differences are as follows

  • · Physical Specifications
  • · Patient Contacting Materials
  • Neutral Electrodes
  • · Extensible Tip Length

There is no significant difference between the EUSRA RF Electrode 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.

Difference in the electrode length and the flexible shaft length

The difference in the electrode length for the subject device does not affect the efficacy because the subject device utilized the same technology of Monopolar RF with the same purpose. Generally, the efficacy of the device for the intended use is affected by the method of RF delivery, output power and the area of the tip; the difference in the electrode length does not affect these factors. Therefore, the difference in the electrode length does not affect the efficacy of the subject device. Furthermore, the subject device is qualified with electrical safety according to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2 and IEC 60601-2-18 and electromagnetic compatibility according to the IEC 60601-1-2.

Difference in the tip diameters

The difference in the tip diameters for the subject device affects the area of the ablation, but does not affect the method of RF delivery and output power, which is affected by the efficacy. These factors were taken into account when designing the ex vivo testing (thermal effects on tissue), the results of the test provide that the efficacy of the subject device was not affected. Furthermore, the subject device is qualified with electrical safety according to IEC 60601-2-2 and IEC 60601-2-18 and electromagnetic compatibility according to the IEC 60601-1-2.

Difference in the neutral electrode

The subject device is used with a different neutral electrode than the predicate device. However, The neutral electrode is FDA cleared (K163450). Therefore, the difference between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues.

7

Difference in the extensible tip length

The ESURA RF Electrode has extendable function that enables the exposure length of to be changed. The exposure length can be adjusted manually by the length controller as the picture below. The performance testing for extensible tip and insulation part was conducted in order to verify the adjustable length for each stage.

Image /page/7/Figure/2 description: The image shows a medical device in different stages of deployment. The first image shows the device in the loading stage, with a green arrow indicating the direction of loading. The second image shows the device deployed to 1cm, the third image shows the device deployed to 5cm, and the fourth image shows the device deployed to 8cm. A pink arrow is above the loading stage.

In addition, the extensible length of the subject device does not affect the method of RF delivery and output power, which is affected by efficacy. These factors were taken into account when designing the ex vivo testing (thermal effects on tissue), the results of the test provide that the efficacy of the subject device was not affected. Furthermore, the subject device is qualified with electrical safety according to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2 and electromagnetic compatibility according to the IEC 60601-1-2.

Due to these identical clauses and high similarities, the ESURA RF Electrode is at least as safe as and as effective as the predicate device. The differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues as explained above. Based on the electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety testing, performance testing, and the comparison to predicate device, the ESURA RF Electrode is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device.

9. Summary of Non-Clinical Data

The non-clinical performance tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the EUSRA RF Electrode and its equivalence to the predicate device. A drop test, bending force test and length control test were performed to minimize the risks associated with mechanical failure.

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 of activation 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'.

EUSRA RF Electrode complies with the following international and FDA-recognized consensus standards:

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 device 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, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2 and IEC 60601-2-18, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11, bench testing, drop 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.
