Intended Use

The Primaeva Medical Finesse System is indicated for use in Dermatologic and General Surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.

Device Story

Finesse System is an electrosurgical device for electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic and general surgery. Components include an RF generator with user interface software, a cooling system handpiece, a cooler controller, and a sterile, single-use electrode insertion device. The insertion device features ten electrodes in a single-row array, deployed into target tissue at an acute angle. Bi-polar RF energy is delivered between adjacent electrode pairs to heat tissue. A solid-state cooling device with a feedback loop monitors and controls surface temperature during treatment. The system is operated by a clinician. The cooling mechanism protects the surface while RF energy treats the underlying tissue. The device is not for self-use.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness were established through pre-clinical bench testing to validate performance and design specifications.

Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device (21 CFR 878.4400). Features bi-polar RF energy delivery, solid-state surface cooling with temperature feedback, and a 10-electrode insertion array. System includes an RF generator, cooler controller, and handpiece. Sterile, single-use electrode insertion device. Software-controlled user interface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures requiring electrocoagulation and hemostasis.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

disposable. Each Electrode Insertion Device is supplied sterile and is for single patient use only and cannot be re-sterilized.

The insertion device is a hand-held mechanical device that is used to insert the electrodes, at an acute angle, into the target tissue. The device has ten (10) electrodes arranged in a single row array. The device has a mechanism to deploy and retract the electrodes when actuated by the user. There is a cable with a connector that connects to the RF Generator.

The Cooler system comprises a solid state cooling device with a feedback loop to monitor and control temperature. The cooling device is placed on the tissue surface during the treatment cycle.

The RF Generator is the energy source for the system. Accessory cables and power cords are also supplied with the system.

#### G. Intended Use

The Primaeva Medical Finesse System is intended for use in Dermatologic and General Surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.

Dear Mr. Grigsby:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 26, 2007.

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
