No
The summary describes a standard RF ablation device and its associated energy platform. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes.
The device is intended to ablate cardiac tissue, which is a treatment action, making it a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as an "ablation pen" intended to "ablate cardiac tissue." This indicates a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a hand-held, single-use, monopolar RF ablation device with a saline irrigation system, indicating it is a physical 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 to "ablate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery using radiofrequency energy." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's tissue.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical tool used for tissue ablation, not for analyzing samples from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is to deliver energy to tissue.
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.

Summary of Performance Studies
Performance testing was completed to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the system (the proposed Cardioblate surgical ablation devices (Pen and XL Pen), used with the Valleylab FT10 Energy Platform, software version 3.0 or higher) to the identified predicate system. Clinical and non-clinical animal testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence. The system components were subjected to the following verification testing, as applicable:
Mechanical: Mechanical verification testing was conducted for components of the subject devices to ensure compliance with current IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2 standard requirements and Medtronic self-enforced requirements.
Electrical: Electrical verification testing was conducted for the subject devices to ensure compliance with current IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2 electrical requirements.
Electromagnetic compatibility: Electromagnetic compatibility testing was completed for the subject devices to ensure compliance with current IEC 60601-1-2 standard requirements.
Benchtop Lesion Verification: Comparative lesion verification testing was performed using a soft tissue model to demonstrate the substantially equivalent ablation performance of the subject and predicate systems.
Usability: Testing was performed to verify and validate the usability requirements of the subject devices as a system. Elements captured included normal use cases, a foreseeable worst-case use scenario, and testable requirements for primary operating functions.
Packaging: Packaging sterile barrier system performance testing was conducted for the proposed devices in their final packaging in accordance with ISO 11607-1.

Dear Rahul Shah:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Performance Testing
Performance testing was completed to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the system (the proposed Cardioblate surgical ablation devices (Pen and XL Pen), used with the Valleylab FT10 Energy Platform, software version 3.0 or higher) to the identified predicate system. Clinical and non-clinical animal testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence. The system components were subjected to the following verification testing, as applicable:
Mechanical: Mechanical verification testing was conducted for components of the subject devices to ensure compliance with current IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2 standard requirements and Medtronic self-enforced requirements.
Electrical: Electrical verification testing was conducted for the subject devices to ensure compliance with current IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2 electrical requirements.
Electromagnetic compatibility: Electromagnetic compatibility testing was completed for the subject devices to ensure compliance with current IEC 60601-1-2 standard requirements.
Benchtop Lesion Verification: Comparative lesion verification testing was performed using a soft tissue model to demonstrate the substantially equivalent ablation performance of the subject and predicate systems.
Usability: Testing was performed to verify and validate the usability requirements of the subject devices as a system. Elements captured included normal use cases, a foreseeable worst-case use scenario, and testable requirements for primary operating functions.
Packaging: Packaging sterile barrier system performance testing was conducted for the proposed devices in their final packaging in accordance with ISO 11607-1.
Conclusion
Verification and validation test results demonstrate that the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to the predicates cleared in K080509. Differences between the proposed and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The intended use of the devices has not changed. Moreover, the fundamental scientific technology, operating principle, and design features are unchanged from that of the predicate.
1 The term 'substantially equivalent' as used herein is intended to be a determination of substantial equivalency under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and relates to the fact that the product can be market approval or reclassification. Such a determination is not intended to have any bearing whatsoever on the resolution of patent infringement suits or other patent matters."
