No
The description focuses on the physical components and the mechanism of action (RF energy for electrocoagulation and hemostasis). There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.
Yes
The device is used for electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic procedures, which are medical treatments.
No
The device is described as an electrocoagulation and hemostasis device that generates heat to treat dermal conditions, not to diagnose them.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components including a system main device, hand-piece, bi-polar electrode, and foot switch, which generate and deliver an RF signal. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the SYLFIRM X™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "dermatologic procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis." This describes a procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue, not on samples of biological material outside the body.
- Device Description: The device description details how the device delivers RF energy to the skin tissue using needles for therapeutic purposes (coagulation and hemostasis). This is a direct treatment method.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The SYLFIRM X™ does not perform this function.
The SYLFIRM X™ is a therapeutic device used for performing procedures on the skin.

Device Description
The SYLFIRM X™ includes a system main device, a hand-piece equitable with a bi-polar electrode, and a foot switch. The RF signal is generated from the main device which is then delivered to the handpiece and then to bi-polar electrode. The RF signal is delivered to the target tissue using penetrating needle electrodes in the consumable tip. The bi-polar electrode is placed in light contact with the epidermis while the hand-piece is being held at right angles to the target tissue. As the RF signal passes through the skin, it generates an electro thermal reaction which is capable of coagulating the tissue. Using the consumable tip, SYLFIRM X™ creates heat within the target skin tissue via needle electrodes from the bi-polar electrode.

Summary of Performance Studies
Preclinical test: The study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SYFLIRM X™ as a radiofrequency(RF) heating device to treat dermal conditions and hemostasis. Three (3) Yucatan Mini-pigs were used in this study. Animal G1 was euthanized 3 h after treatment on Day 1; Animal G2 was euthanized on Day 5; and Animals G3 was euthanized on Day 22. Treatment with the SYLFIRM X™ device did not result in erythema or edema formation within 1-hour post treatment, nor at any other scheduled time points on all animals. The treatment-related microscopic findings consisted of minimal to moderate, multifocal deep dermal collagen necrosis in animals euthanized on Days 1 and 5, and minimal to mild multifocal deep dermal fibrosis on animal euthanized on Day 22. Test results including histology data demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in the market for its intended use.

Dear Jong 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.

The SYLFIRM X™ has same intended uses and technical characteristics to the predicate device, SYLFIRM X™(K200185). We performed risk analysis according to the addition of an accessory, and performed necessary verification and validation accordingly. There is no additional consideration for safety and effectiveness, so subject device, SYLFIRM X is substantially equivalent to the predicated device.
8. Performance data
Sterilization validation test
To verify the sterility assurance level (10-6) for EO sterilization and biological indicator (BI) overkill method was used in accordance to ISO 11135-1, ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-7, ISO 11138-1, ISO 11138-2, ISO 11737-1, ISO 11737-2, AAMI TIR 15, and ISO 13485:2016.
Shelf-life validation test
The tests to validate the shelf life of the device through the proposed shelf life were conducted using the accelerated aging method in accordance to ASTM F1980-07 (2011) Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices. The referenced standards for the testing are ISO 11607-1, ISO 11607-2, ISO 11737-2, ASTM F1929, ASTM F 88, and USPNF.
Biocompatibility test
The patient contacting component of the subject device is the J25BM and the biocompatibility tests were in accordance with ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11, and USP 38 .
Software validation test
The level of concern of the software (firmware) of the SYLFIRM X™ is moderate and the software validation tests were performed.
EMC & Electrical safety test
7
The subject device has been evaluated for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety testing per applicable standards of IEC 60601-1:2005. IEC 60601-1:2012: IEC 60601-1-6:2010. IEC 60601-1-6:2010/AMD1:2013; IEC 60601-2-2:2017, CISPR 11:2009/AMD1:2010, IEC 60601-1-2:2014.
Preclinical test
The study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SYFLIRM X™ as a radiofrequency(RF) heating device to treat dermal conditions and hemostasis. Three (3) Yucatan Mini-pigs were used in this study. Animal G1 was euthanized 3 h after treatment on Day 1; Animal G2 was euthanized on Day 5; and Animals G3 was euthanized on Day 22.
Treatment with the SYLFIRM X™ device did not result in erythema or edema formation within 1-hour post treatment, nor at any other scheduled time points on all animals. The treatment-related microscopic findings consisted of minimal to moderate, multifocal deep dermal collagen necrosis in animals euthanized on Days 1 and 5, and minimal to mild multifocal deep dermal fibrosis on animal euthanized on Day 22.
Test results including histology data demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in the market for its intended use.
Verification
The bi polar tip (J25BM, J25BS, J18BS) was added without changing the safety or effectiveness of the initially approved equipment, and related performance tests were performed to confirm the same performance. It was confirmed that it has the same performance for additional accessories.
9. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
Based on the test results provided in this submission including Sterilization Validation, Shelf life Validation, Biocompatibility, Software Validation, EMC & Electrical Safety Test, and Animal Test, VIOL Co., Ltd. concludes that the SYLFIRM X™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device as described herein in.
