Device Description
Secret RF's High Frequency(=Radio Frequency) includes the system main body, a handpices with singleuse micro-needle type electrodes, footswitch and an LCD touch screen control panel. The HF energy is delivered to the target tissue using a handpiece and disposable tip(micro needle electrode tip), the tip being placed in light contact with the epidermis and the handpiece being held at right angles to the target tissue. As the HF energy passes through the skin, it generates an electro thermal reaction, which is capable of coagulating the tissue. Using the micro needle tip, the Secret RF system creates heat within the target dermal tissue via micro-needles inserted from the tip. The Secret RF is consists of ; - 1) Secret RF main unit (FDA cleared K170325) - 2) Bipolar type handpieces with Bipolar type micro-needle electrodes (FDA cleared K170325) - 3) Secret RF Smartcure applicator The Secret RF Smartcure Applicator consists of : - Smartcure handpiece - Monopolar type micro-needle electrodes (MTR-AC-01 , MTR-AC-04, MTR-AC-27G, K3i)
More Information

No
The summary describes a radiofrequency device for electro-coagulation and hemostasis, focusing on the hardware components and energy delivery mechanism. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for decision-making or control.

No
The device is described for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electro-coagulation and hemostasis, which are surgical procedures, not therapeutic treatments for diseases or medical conditions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an applicator for electro-coagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgical procedures, indicating a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a main unit, handpieces, electrodes, footswitch, and LCD touch screen. It is a physical medical device that delivers RF energy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electro-coagulation and hemostasis." This describes a therapeutic or surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device delivers radiofrequency energy to tissue using micro-needles to generate heat and coagulate tissue. This is a physical intervention on the body, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is to perform a surgical procedure (electro-coagulation and hemostasis).

Dear Dave Kim:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

VI. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Secret RF's High Frequency(=Radio Frequency) includes the system main body, a handpices with singleuse micro-needle type electrodes, footswitch and an LCD touch screen control panel.

The HF energy is delivered to the target tissue using a handpiece and disposable tip(micro needle electrode tip), the tip being placed in light contact with the epidermis and the handpiece being held at right angles to the target tissue. As the HF energy passes through the skin, it generates an electro thermal reaction, which is capable of coagulating the tissue. Using the micro needle tip, the Secret RF system creates heat within the target dermal tissue via micro-needles inserted from the tip.

The Secret RF is consists of ;

    1. Secret RF main unit (FDA cleared K170325)
    1. Bipolar type handpieces with Bipolar type micro-needle electrodes (FDA cleared K170325)
    1. Secret RF Smartcure applicator

The Secret RF Smartcure Applicator consists of :

  • Smartcure handpiece
  • Monopolar type micro-needle electrodes

IX. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing:

The patient contact components and materials are tested and validated according to ISO10993-1;2009.

Non Clinical testing:

IEC 60601-1 Test for Medical Electrical Equipment was performed for General Requirements for basic safety and essential performance. The requirements of specified standards were fulfilled.

IEC 60601-1-2 Test for Medical Electrical Equipment was performed for General Requirements for basic safety and essential performance (collateral standards: electromagnetic compatibility.

IEC 60601-2-2: 2009 Medical electrical equipment Part 2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories. The requirements of specified standards were fulfilled.

Animal testing :

In vivo animal testing using micropig models was also conducted to obtain histological data of values for depth and zone of ablation and thermal damage immediately post treatment: 7 days post treatment; and 14 days post treatment.

The treatment was performed at the intensity(power) low, mid, high.

X. CONCLUSIONS

Secret 87 Smartcure applicator with electrode device has the same intended use and similar indications as its predicate devices. The technology of the predicate devices is also the same.

The envelope of power and frequency of the submitted Secret 88 Smartcure applicator with electrodes are covered by the envelopes of its predicate devices.

Any minor differences in the human interface and accessories design do not raise any new types of safety and effectiveness issues, as verified by performance testing.
