Intended Use
The SILKRO with RM. RN. RC. RV. PS handpieces is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electro-coagulation and hemostasis. The SILKRO with RN handpieces is intended for the removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue.
Device Description
This device is an instrument used for tissue coagulation by means of high-frequency current. It consists of the main unit, five handpieces, GP Cable, foot switch, LCD touch screen, ground pad and power cable. The SILKRO has two operating modes: monopolar mode and bipolar mode. In the monopolar mode. RF energy flows from the main unit and a patient loop is formed by pairing the active electrode tip with the neutral electrode pad. Heat is not generated in the neutral electrode pad due to its low contact resistance, but heat is generated in the active electrode tip which has higher contact resistance. The higher contact resistance heats up the tissue resulting in coagulation. In the bipolar mode, RF energy is delivered between adjacent needles in the electrode tip without use of the neutral electrode pad. The user can select the mode and adjust parameters through the touch screen user interface of electrosurgical device. RF(HF) enerqy is delivered to the target tissue using a handpiece (RM, RN, RC, RV, PS) and electrode tip, the tip being placed in light contact with the epidermis and the handpiece being held at right angles to the target tissue. As the RF(HF) energy passes through the skin, it generates an electro RF reaction which is capable of coagulating the tissue. - Electrosurgical Unit Main body - Five different handpieces - Neutral electrode pad and neutral electrode pad cable, cleared under K092761 - Handpiece stands - Foot switch - Power cord
More Information

No
The description focuses on the electrosurgical mechanism (RF energy, monopolar/bipolar modes) and user-controlled parameters via a touch screen. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any automated decision-making or analysis based on data input.

No
The device is described as an instrument for electro-coagulation and hemostasis in surgical procedures, which are interventional applications rather than therapeutic ones designed to treat diseases or conditions.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that this device is used for electro-coagulation and hemostasis, and for the removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue by means of high-frequency current. These are therapeutic, not diagnostic, functions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the main unit, handpieces, cables, foot switch, LCD touch screen, ground pad, and power cable.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electro-coagulation and hemostasis" and "removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue." This describes a device used on the patient's body for therapeutic or surgical purposes, not for testing samples from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details an electrosurgical unit that uses high-frequency current to coagulate tissue. This is a physical intervention on the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), reagents, or any diagnostic testing procedures.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

4. Device Description - 807.92(a)(4)

This device is an instrument used for tissue coagulation by means of high-frequency current. It consists of the main unit, five handpieces, GP Cable, foot switch, LCD touch screen, ground pad and power cable.

The SILKRO has two operating modes: monopolar mode and bipolar mode. In the monopolar mode. RF energy flows from the main unit and a patient loop is formed by pairing the active electrode tip with the neutral electrode pad. Heat is not generated in the neutral electrode pad due to its low contact resistance, but heat is generated in the active electrode tip which has higher contact resistance. The higher contact resistance heats up the tissue resulting in coagulation. In the bipolar mode, RF energy is delivered between adjacent needles in the electrode tip without use of the neutral electrode pad. The user can select the mode and adjust parameters through the touch screen user interface of electrosurgical device.

RF(HF) enerqy is delivered to the target tissue using a handpiece (RM, RN, RC, RV, PS) and electrode tip, the tip being placed in light contact with the epidermis and the handpiece being held at right angles to the target tissue. As the RF(HF) energy passes through the skin, it generates an electro RF reaction which is capable of coagulating the tissue.
