The summary describes a microwave ablation instrument and its electrosurgical system, focusing on mechanical and electrical performance, and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for "coagulation (ablation) of soft tissue," which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
This device is intended for the coagulation (ablation) of soft tissue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It uses microwave energy to destroy tissue rather than to identify or characterize a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical instrument (AB1) with a shaft, antenna, and handle, designed to be used with a physical electrosurgical system. The performance studies also involve physical testing of the instrument.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "coagulation (ablation) of soft tissue" using microwave energy. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's tissue.
- Device Description: The device is an "electrosurgical instrument" designed to deliver energy to tissue.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with such specimens for diagnostic purposes.
The device is a therapeutic medical device used for surgical procedures.

Device Description
The Creo Medical (Creo) AB1 soft tissue microwave ablation instrument (electrosurgical instrument, accessory or instrument, also referred to as AB1) is designed for use with the Creo electrosurgical system, previously cleared under K200298. No changes have been made to the Creo generator, footswitch, or interface cable with sterile sheaths that comprise the electrosurgical system, nor are any changes proposed to the AB1 instrument in this 510k.
AB1 is provided as a sterile, single-use instrument that is 0.95 m long with a 4.3 mm diameter shaft that terminates in a distal antenna that is 38 mm long and less than 2.00 mm in diameter (nominally, 1.9 mm) with a conical tip. The AB1 instrument is provided with a flexible, removable (distal) handle. The outer sheath of the flexible shaft may be removed.
This 510k provides instructions to the end user on how to remove the outer extrusion and distal handle to create a configuration that has an outer diameter less than 2.00 mm. The instrument may be used to access target tissue directly, e.g., in open surgical procedures, or, with the handle and outer sheath removed, through a compatible trocar in minimally invasive procedures. The antenna couples microwave energy to target tissue when AB1 is powered by the Creo Electrosurgical System. AB1 is only compatible for use with the Creo Electrosurgical System, and the Creo Electrosurgical System is only intended for use with compatible Creo instruments and accessories.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
In order to address the change in labeling to the device, a risk assessment was conducted that identified that the following tests needed to be control any new, or increased risks and demonstrate substantially equivalent safety and effectiveness of the configuration created by the user following the revised labeling, to that of the predicate configuration.
- Pull (tensile) test
- Removal of outer extrusion test (effects on underlying cable, cosmetics, electrical performance)
- Insertion and retraction into and from an introducer test
- Shaft bending test
- VNA (vector network analyzer) return loss test
- Thermal profile with introducer test
- Comparison of dimensions of ablations created by new and predicate device in ex-vivo tissue
- Preclinical evaluation of safety and performance in a pig model
- Simulated use testing of deployment through introducers
- Electrical safety testing
- Usability engineering validation
The results of the tests conducted and leveraged demonstrate that the AB1 instrument in the proposed configuration with outer sheath and distal handle removed meets all design specifications and applicable medical device standard requirements, and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate AB1 instrument with the handle and outer sheath in place.

Creo Electrosurqical System with AB1 Instrument
4.DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Creo Medical (Creo) AB1 soft tissue microwave ablation instrument (electrosurgical instrument, accessory or instrument, also referred to as AB1) is designed for use with the Creo electrosurgical system, previously cleared under K200298. No changes have been made to the Creo generator, footswitch, or interface cable with sterile sheaths that comprise the electrosurgical system, nor are any changes proposed to the AB1 instrument in this 510k.
AB1 is provided as a sterile, single-use instrument that is 0.95 m long with a 4.3 mm diameter shaft that terminates in a distal antenna that is 38 mm long and less than 2.00 mm in diameter (nominally, 1.9 mm) with a conical tip. The AB1 instrument is provided with a flexible, removable (distal) handle. The outer sheath of the flexible shaft may be removed.
This 510k provides instructions to the end user on how to remove the outer extrusion and distal handle to create a configuration that has an outer diameter less than 2.00 mm. The instrument may be used to access target tissue directly, e.q. in open surgical procedures, or, with the handle and outer sheath removed, through a compatible trocar in minimally invasive procedures. The antenna couples microwave energy to target tissue when AB1 is powered by the Creo Electrosurqical System. AB1 is only compatible for use with the Creo Electrosurgical System, and the Creo Electrosurgical System is only intended for use with compatible Creo instruments and accessories.
5.INDICATIONS FOR USE

6.COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AB1 WITH MODIFIED IFU WITH THE CLEARED INSTRUMENT
The only change addressed in this 510k is a change to the IFU that instructs the user how to remove the outer sheath and distal handle of the cleared AB1 instrument to create a configuration that has a diameter less than 2.00 mm which can be used with a compatible trocar in minimally invasive procedures. No other changes have been made to the design, materials, or processing of the cleared AB1 instrument.

7.PERFORMANCE DATA
In order to address the change in labeling to the device, a risk assessment was conducted that identified that the following tests needed to be control any new, or increased risks and demonstrate substantially equivalent safety and effectiveness of the configuration created by the user following the revised labeling, to that of the predicate configuration.
- Pull (tensile) test
- . Removal of outer extrusion test (effects on underlying cable, cosmetics, electrical performance)
- Insertion and retraction into and from an introducer test
- Shaft bending test
- VNA (vector network analyzer) return loss test
- Thermal profile with introducer test
- Comparison of dimensions of ablations created by new and predicate device in ex-vivo ● tissue
- Preclinical evaluation of safety and performance in a pig model
- Simulated use testing of deployment through introducers
- . Electrical safety testing
- . Usability engineering validation

The results of the tests conducted and leveraged demonstrate that the AB1 instrument in the proposed configuration with outer sheath and distal handle removed meets all design specifications and applicable medical device standard requirements, and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate AB1 instrument with the handle and outer sheath in place.
8.CONCLUSION
Results of the bench and preclinical tests conducted demonstrate that the potential risks associated with the configuration of the AB1 instrument created by following the change to the IFU have been reduced to low and acceptable levels. The results further demonstrate that there are no new or different questions of safety or effectiveness raised by the modification to the IFU, and the AB1 instrument in the configuration created following the revised labeling is as safe and effective as the predicate device. Consequently, The Creo Medical AB1 electrosurgical instrument (Accessory) in the configuration created by following the modified IFU is substantially equivalent to the predicate instrument.
