Intended Use
The Fractora is intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin.
Device Story
Fractora is an electrosurgical device consisting of a console, handheld applicator, and disposable tip. It delivers bipolar radiofrequency (RF) electrical current to the skin surface via an array of multi-electrode pins. The device is used by clinicians in a clinical setting for dermatological procedures. The RF energy causes heating of the skin directly below the electrodes, resulting in ablation and resurfacing. This process is intended to improve skin appearance through controlled thermal injury. The device is operated by a physician or qualified healthcare professional.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and histology data were provided to support the safety and effectiveness of the device. No clinical trial data were reported.
Technological Characteristics
Electrosurgical device delivering bipolar radiofrequency energy. Features a console, handheld applicator, and disposable tip with an array of multi-electrode pins. Operates via non-homogeneous fractional delivery of RF energy to induce thermal ablation and resurfacing. Class II device under 21 CFR 878.4400.
Indications for Use
Indicated for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin. Prescription use only.
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.

# Predicate device
Matrix RF applicator (K073572).
#### Intended use:
The Fractora is intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin.
# Device Description:
The Fractora is composed of a console, hand held applicator, and disposable tip, designed to deliver bipolar radiofrequency electrical current to the skin surface, via an array of multi-electrode pins.
#### Performance data:
In this submission bench testing performance data as well as histology data presented.
{1}------------------------------------------------
# Substantial Equivalence:
### Intended use equivalence
Fractora's intended use is identical to the intended use of the predicate device: Matrix RF applicator.
# Technological equivalence
The Fractora hand piece is designed to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin in a non-homogeneous fractional manner, via an array of multi-electrode pins. The array delivers bipolar RF energy to the skin, resulting in heating of skin directly below the electrodes, to temperatures leading to ablation and resurfacing of the skin. The predicate device uses similar technological characteristics.
The main output parameter that determines the ablative and coagulative effects is energy per pin, which is identical for Fractora and the predicate device. Minor differences in the number of pins, and array dimensions, may slightly affect the number of pulses required to cover the treatment area.
The Fractora is substantially equivalent to its predicate device. The data in this 510(k) submission demonstrate that the Fractora device has similar output and intended use as other predicate device. Therefore is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
Based upon an analysis of the overall performance characteristic for the device. Invasix Ltd. believes that no significant differences exist between the Fractora and the predicate device. Therefore the Fractora should raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Dr. Waldman:
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.
