Intended Use
The Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe is intended for coagulation of soft tissue. Not for use in cardiac procedures.
Device Story
Loop™ Microwave Ablation Probe consists of pre-shaped curved microwave antenna housed in delivery cannula. Physician deploys antenna into targeted soft tissue using handle mechanism. Device utilizes RF electrosurgical generator connector for initial deployment; subsequently, microwave cable connects to Vivant VivaWave™ Microwave Generator. Microwave energy transmitted to antenna heats tissue within and around antenna to achieve coagulation. Used in clinical settings for soft tissue ablation; excludes cardiac procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Pre-shaped curved microwave antenna; delivery cannula; handle deployment mechanism; RF electrosurgical generator connector; microwave cable interface. Materials are biocompatible and consistent with previously cleared devices. Energy source: microwave generator.
Indications for Use
Indicated for coagulation of soft tissue. Contraindicated for cardiac procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

#### Device Description
The device consists of a pre-shaped curved microwave antenna which is contained within a delivery cannula. The electrode is attached to a handle mechanism that deploys the antenna into the targeted tissue. The electrode comes with a connector that can be attached to a standard RF electrosurgical generator to assist in deployment of the curved microwave antenna into tissue. Once the curved antenna is fully deployed, the RF connector can be removed and the remaining microwave cable is connected to the Vivant VivaWave™ Microwave Generator. The microwave energy is then transmitted to the curved antenna which heats the tissue within and around the antenna.

Dear Mr. Kim:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
