Radiofrequency Generator System is used in conjunction with Cura RF Electrode for coagulation of tissue during percutaneous, laparoscopic, and intraoperative surgical procedures.
The Cura RF Electrode is to be used with Radiofrequency Generator System intended for coagulation of tissue during percutaneous, laparoscopic, and intraoperative surgical procedures.
Radiofrequency Generator System consists of a genstaltic pump for electrode cooling, a foot switch and a respiratory locator. This Radiofrequency Generator System is used in conjunction with the Cura RF electrode for coagulation of tissue during percutaneous, laparoscopic, and intraoperative surgical procedures.
The Radiofrequency Generator System is capable of delivering up to 250 W of RF power is limited through software control, and the power, impedance, current are monitored by software. The temperature of the electrode's tip is monitored for charring.
The generator generates high frequency alternating current and transferred to the RF electrode and generator is interrupted, the generator will stop the power output and trigger reminder. When the temperature of RF electrode detected by the generator exceeds 99℃, or the temperature of the neutral electrode reaches the setting temperature, the device will automatically out off the power output and give a corresponding reminder. The power output can also be manually stopped.
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA, a regulatory submission for a medical device. It does not describe an AI/ML-based device, but rather a Radiofrequency Generator System and Cura RF Electrode used for tissue coagulation. Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study details related to AI/ML performance (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for training set, etc.) are not applicable or present in this type of submission.
Specifically, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on:
- Indications for Use: The devices have similar intended uses.
- Technological Characteristics: Comparison of physical specifications, operating principles, and safety features.
- Performance Data (Non-Clinical): Testing against recognized standards and ex-vivo tissue tests, rather than clinical efficacy studies on human subjects that would involve extensive human reader studies or large clinical trial data sets.
Therefore, the requested information cannot be fully provided as it pertains to AI/ML device evaluations, which is not the subject of this FDA submission.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the non-clinical performance data and the "acceptance criteria" presented in this type of regulatory context, which are primarily compliance with relevant medical device standards.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided document and the non-applicability of certain AI/ML-specific questions:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for a Radiofrequency Generator System
The acceptance criteria for this device are not defined in terms of AI/ML performance metrics (like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, AUC) but rather through compliance with established medical device safety and performance standards, and demonstration of heating effects in ex-vivo tissue that align with the intended function.

The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:" (implies the thermal effects were within expected/acceptable parameters to show equivalence for tissue coagulation, aligning with the FDA guidance). |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Test Set Sample Size: For the non-clinical tests, sample sizes are not explicitly stated in the summary, but they would be typical for engineering verification and validation testing of medical devices according to the specified standards (e.g., a certain number of units for electrical tests, specific tissue samples for ex-vivo tests). These are typically small, controlled engineering samples, not large patient datasets.
- Data Provenance: The tests are likely performed by the manufacturer (Zhejiang CuraWay Medical Technology Co., Ltd. in China) or contract testing organizations on their behalf. The data is prospective in the sense that the tests were specifically conducted to support this submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This question is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML diagnostic device requiring expert consensus for "ground truth" on diagnoses. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is objective measurements (e.g., electrical parameters, temperature readings, physical dimensions of coagulation zones) and compliance with specified engineering and medical device standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This question is not applicable as it pertains to expert consensus/adjudication in diagnostic studies, which is not relevant for this type of device submission.
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
This question is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for AI/ML diagnostic aids that assist human readers. This device is a therapeutic/surgical tool (radiofrequency generator), not a diagnostic AI.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable for the same reasons as above. The device's performance is its direct physical output (e.g., RF energy, coagulation effect), not an algorithm-only output like an AI diagnostic prediction. Its "standalone" performance is assessed through its compliance with technical standards and ex-vivo tests.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on:
- Pre-defined technical specifications and ranges for electrical output, temperature monitoring, and safety features.
- The ability to achieve intended thermal effects (coagulation zone) in ex-vivo tissue models, compared against expectations from existing predicate devices and literature.
- Compliance with recognized national and international consensus standards (e.g., IEC, ISO, ASTM).
8. The sample size for the training set
This question is not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The device is a hardware system with embedded software, developed using traditional engineering principles and verified/validated against specifications and standards.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This question is not applicable for the reasons stated above.

| Principle | The working frequency of the RadiofrequencyGenerator System is 480kHz±10%. When the radiofrequency current flows through the human tissue,the rapid change of the electromagnetic field causesthe positive and negative ions in the cell to moverapidly, so the friction between them, also betweenthem and other molecules and ions causes thelesion to heat up, causing the water inside andoutside the cell to evaporate, dry, shrink and falloff, resulting in aseptic necrosis, thereby achievingthe purpose of treatment. | The RF generator works at 480kHz±10%. Thefrequency flows to the electrode's tip and then isapplied to the tissue. Frictional heat occurs andcauses the ions to move from the negative pole tothe positive pole and from the positive pole to thenegative pole forty to fifty thousand times persecond. Tissue necrosis is the principle that occursby using heat generated from the tissue impedance. | |
