HPR45i electrosurgical electrode is intended to conduct radio frequency (RF) current for coagulation from the RF electrosurgical generator to target soft tissue in a broad range of surgical procedures. The device is a prescription use (Rx) device.
HPR45i is a monopolar electrosurgical electrode intended to remove tissue and control bleeding using radio frequency electrical current. It is a prescription use device which is intended to be used by a licensed doctors or specialist in the healthcare facility/ hospital.
The HPR45i is supplied sterile (Sterilized by EO Sterilization) and is not intended to be reused. It consists of 3 different parts such as HPR45i handle, output cable and stainless-steel tube. The stainless-steel tube is insulated over most of its exposed length, and it is connected to the stainless steel (AISI316L) tip at the end. The material of insulation is PTFE. The stainless steel (AISI316L) tip and PTFE insulation are the direct patient contacting parts of the device. It is an external communicating device with limited duration (<24hrs) of contact with tissue and blood.
The HPR45i is designed to be used in combination with a radiofrequency generator (MedRF4000 (K210077) manufactured by F Care Systems USA LLC) for the application of haemostasis of soft tissue. The RF signal, which is generated by the generator, passes through the HPR45i, and is applied on the soft tissue by means of the HPR45i tip. When contact is made with tissue, the RF signal is converted into heat resulting in the bleeding to stop and haemostasis to appear. The HPR45i has no power regulating function, and it does not contain a diagnostic or monitoring function.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the HPR45i electrosurgical electrode. It details the device's characteristics, intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device, along with non-clinical and a lack of clinical study data.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The provided document describes non-clinical performance tests only. It does not refer to a "test set" in the context of clinical data or diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, there is no information on:
- Sample size used for the test set.
- Data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
Since no clinical "test set" was used for diagnostic accuracy, there is no information on the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth. The non-clinical tests rely on established engineering and safety standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
As no clinical "test set" was used for diagnostic accuracy, there is no information on any adjudication method.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or reported. The device is an electrosurgical electrode, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No standalone algorithm performance study was done. This device is a medical instrument used by a human surgeon, not an independent algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the non-clinical performance tests, the "ground truth" implicitly refers to:
- Compliance with international and FDA-recognized consensus standards: such as IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and various ISO 10993 standards.
- Engineering specifications and validated processes: for electrosurgical unit performance, component testing, and sterilization.
There is no clinical ground truth (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data) presented as no clinical studies were performed.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not Applicable. This device is an electrosurgical electrode and does not involve machine learning algorithms that require a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not Applicable. (See point 8).

Table 3 Comparison of Technological Characteristics between subject and predicate device
{6}------------------------------------------------
{7}------------------------------------------------
Justification 1: The minor difference in the intended use of the device is that HPR45i is intended only for coagulation not for cutting but the predicate device is intended to be used for both cutting and coagulation. However, this difference will not raise any concern on the safety and effectiveness of the subject device since coagulation is covered under the intended use of predicate device.
Justification 2: The predicate device, E-Z CLEAN Electrosurgical Electrode is used for both cutting and coagulation whereas HPR45i is not used for cutting, only control of hemostasis, therefore the maximum power of HPR45i (25 W) is much lower than the predicate (300 W).
Justification 3: The predicate device, E-Z CLEAN Electrosurgical Electrode is used for both cutting and coagulation whereas HPR45i is not used for cutting, only control of hemostasis, therefore the maximum voltage of HPR45i (800V) is much lower than the predicate (≤10.8 KV).
Justification 4: The predicate device, E-Z Clean Electrosurgical uses a lower frequency (510 kHz), the HPR45i uses a higher frequency (4MHZ). The higher frequency in HPR45i has no effect on efficiency as evidenced by the tissue testing.
Justification 5: The tip length of HPR45i and E-Z Clean Electrosurgical Electrode different. However, tip length of HPR45i (10mm) tip length falls within the tip length (21mm, 5.3mm and 4.2mm) of the different versions of the predicate device, E-Z Clean Electrosurgical Electrode.
Justification 6: The PTFE material was selected as it was more durable material than polyolefin. Therefore, the above difference does not raise any safety or effectives tissue for the subject device

Traditional 510(K) HPR45i
HPR45i Monopolar Electrodes are sterilized by using a validated ethylene oxide cycle. The sterilization cycle has been validated to ensure a sterility level of (SAL) 10-6 in accordance with ISO 11135. Furthermore, the packaging integrity and accelerated aging test were performed on the subject device to support the proposed shelf life.
All non-clinical tests met the acceptance criteria specified in the standards.
8. Summary of Clinical Data
As per FDA's guidance document, "Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery" Clinical data are generally not necessary to support 510(k) submissions for electrosurgical devices that are intended for general surgery indications. Moreover, indications for use of HPR45i or device technology or mechamism of action is not significantly different when compared to the predicate device. Therefore, no clinical data was submitted for HPR45i.
