Intended Use

The swiftPro™ System is a surface based device intended for the coagulation of soft tissue during non-invasive procedures.

The swiftProTM System is not indicated for use in cardiac procedures.

Device Description

The swiftPro® system is a hand-held microwave generator intended to provide the functionality of the Swift® microwave treatment system in a compact and portable package. The system comprises a hand-held microwave generator and an applicator tip assembly. The generator produces microwave energy at a frequency of 8 GHz with a maximum output power of 6 Watts, the output power is restricted depending on the applicator tip attached, which delivers the microwave energy to the tissue to effect thermal heating, The swiftPro® System interface is intuitive with a quick setup for setting treatment; output power level & treatment duration (seconds). The applicator tip and the handheld generator have been designed to be only connected in a certain way with a single, simple connection mechanism. This prevents the possibility of system malfunction due to incorrect setup or confusion. The SwiftPro® applicator tips have been designed to prevent re-use to mitigate the risk of cross-contamination.

The SwiftPro® system compromises of the following components:

  • SwiftPro® Handheld Generator
  • SwiftPro® Cradle
  • SwiftPro® URT Applicator tip (non-sterile, single use)
  • SwiftPro® LRT Applicator tip (non-sterile, single use)
AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device called the swiftPro™ System and its comparison to a predicate device, the Swift® System, to demonstrate substantial equivalence for FDA clearance. However, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria, reported device performance in the context of clinical or diagnostic accuracy, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details as typically apply to AI/ML powered devices.

The document focuses on the engineering and safety aspects of an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device. The "performance data" section refers to:

  • Biocompatibility testing
  • Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
  • Software verification and validation testing
  • Cybersecurity
  • Human Factors and Usability Engineering
  • Bench Testing (thermal effects analysis in ex-vivo porcine skin, bovine liver, porcine kidney, and porcine muscle)

These are technical performance characteristics of the device itself and not related to diagnostic accuracy or clinical effectiveness in a way that would require the typical AI/ML study details requested in the prompt.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and information based on the provided text, as the nature of the device and its evaluation for FDA clearance (as described here) do not involve those types of criteria or studies. The device is for "coagulation of soft tissue," which is a direct physical action, not a diagnostic or AI-assisted interpretation task.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The swiftPro® system is the subject of this application and is substantially equivalent to the device described and cleared in K181941, the subject device is an all-encompassing version of the Swift® System.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The swiftPro® System is a surface-based device intended for the coagulation of soft tissue during noninvasive procedures.

The swiftPro® System is not indicated for use in cardiac procedures.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

Microwave coagulation is the technological principle for both the swiftPro® System and predicate device. It is based on the use of microwave energy for the coagulation of soft tissue, where the user has the ability to select the desired power and time limits based on size of the target area.

The technological characteristics are the same regarding frequency and magnitude of microwave energy delivered to a target tissue through the existing applicator/antenna design as used in the existing Swift® System (predicate) in a controlled manner for the purpose of coagulation of soft tissue. The main differences relate to the addition of FPGA firmware and a software user interface which replicates the core experience (treatment power/time settings and a single button to enable/disable energy deposition) of using the existing Swift device.

The operation of the swiftPro® user interface is controlled via device-embedded software, responsible for handling user inputs and providing system status indications. Microwave control and functionality and system safety is provided by firmware. Both the application software and firmware are installed on devices located on the System Controller Module (microcontroller IC and FPGA respectively). However, both the subject device and predicate have hardware or firmware (FPGA) based safety controls, the addition of software controls relates purely to improve user experience.

The predicate device operation is controlled by a digital logic state machine which, by its nature, requires a high number of components to implement for this approach to be capable of providing the level of functionality required. This component count requires a number of large PCBAs - and interconnecting components - to support, and therefore results in a larqe system footprint and high cost.

The swiftPro® system replicates this functionality through use of embedded software, significantly reducing the system real estate consumed by PCBAs and their peripherals and allows for a high degree of compact integration in the system architecture. The inclusion of software within the design also permits the system functionality to be enhanced, and results in further streamlining of the system by permitting a graphical user interface (GUI) to be implemented, removing the need for discrete LED indicators as present in the Swift® system. The GUI has been designed to replicate the experience of using the existing swift® device.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for "emblation". The logo consists of a red oval shape with a white and black wave-like design inside, followed by the word "emblation" in red and black letters. The "em" part of the word is in red, while the "blation" part is in black.

SwiftPro® Handheld Generator Treatment System

The swiftPro® handheld generator is constructed from control PC-ABSs which are the same biocompatible materials as the applicator tip with an integrated user interface. Includes functional indicators, display auditory feedback, and programmable system control capability. The handheld generates microwave power up to 6W using hardware controlled internally requlated microwave source. The output signal from the SwiftPro™ generator is provided by the integrated user interface. The output power can be varied from 1W increments to 6W using pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. This provides regulated microwave energy at a central frequency of 8GHz and provides real-time reflected power monitoring which ensures that the treatment is progressing as normal and that the handheld generator is performing as expected.

The swiftPro® System does not require a handpiece or cable to operate as it is an all-encompassing device and this is the main reason for the device weighing less and smaller than the predicate device. The design is different from the predicate device but the differences do not affect the fundamental principles of technology.

SwiftPro® Applicator Tip

The swiftPro® Applicator tip is identical to the predicate in design and materials used. There are no technological differences. The swiftPro® Applicator Tips are mechanically, physically, and electricaly identical to the Swift® SWF-AT01 Applicator Tip, differing only in the value of resistor fitted to their (internal) PCBA which denotes the Tip DUID.
