Intended Use
The RSM-C is intended for use in radiofrequency (RF) heat lesion procedures for relief of pain. This is the same intended use as the SMK Cannula and TIC Cannula.
Device Description
The RSM-C Radionics Sluijter-Mehta Cannulae are insulated disposable cannulae designed for use with a Radionics Radiofrequency Lesion Generator to create heat lesions for relief of pain. These cannulae are compatible with the commercially available Radionics SMK-TC thermocouple electrodes. They are used in the same way as the commercially available Radionics SMK-C Cannulae.
More Information

No
The summary describes a disposable cannula for use with a radiofrequency generator, and explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as creating heat lesions for pain relief, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as creating heat lesions for pain relief, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a disposable cannula, which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "radiofrequency (RF) heat lesion procedures for relief of pain." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a cannula designed to deliver RF energy to create heat lesions within the body. This is a surgical/interventional tool, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic testing, or providing information about a patient's health status based on laboratory results.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device operates in vivo (within the body) for a therapeutic purpose.

II. Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting the Substantial Equivalence Determination

A summary of the information contained in this premarket notification that addresses safety and effectiveness follows.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

RSM-C Radionics Sluiter-Mehta Cannula labeling contains instructions for the proper use of this device. It includes a description of the product, directions for use, and applicable safety information. These instructions ensure safe and effective use of the device when followed by the physician.

Description of the Device and Basis for Substantial Equivalence

The RSM Sluijter-Mehta Cannula addressed in this premarket notification has similar intended use and technological characteristics as the commercially available Radionics SMK Cannula (K870028). The insulating material is the same as that on the commercially available Radionics TIC Cannula, a pre-amendment device.
