Indications for Use
The Acessa Guidance Handpiece is indicated for use in percutaneous laparoscopic coagulation and ablation of soft tissue, including treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids under laparoscopic ultrasound guidance.
Device Story
Acessa Guidance Handpiece (Model 5300) is a single-use, sterile RF applicator for soft tissue ablation; used in laparoscopic procedures for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Device connects to Acessa Generator via custom cable; features handle, trocar shaft, active needle tip, and seven deployable needle electrodes with embedded thermocouples for real-time temperature feedback. Includes magnetic guidance sensor and SROM for optional electromagnetic tracking; tracks positions of ultrasound transducer and handpiece shaft to display virtual spatial representations on a monitor. Physician uses these visual cues to guide handpiece tip to fibroid for treatment. RF energy delivery remains consistent with predicate Acessa System. Benefits include precise guidance and real-time thermal monitoring during fibroid ablation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity), and mechanical flexural strength testing. Compatibility with electromagnetic tracking systems was verified.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use RF applicator; seven deployable needle electrodes with embedded thermocouples. Materials compliant with ISO 10993. Includes magnetic guidance sensor and SROM for spatial tracking. Connectivity: wired to Acessa Generator. Sterilization: sterile. Standards: EN/IEC 60601-1 (safety), EN/IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), EN/IEC 60601-2-2 (high-frequency surgical equipment), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility).
Indications for Use
Indicated for percutaneous, laparoscopic coagulation and ablation of soft tissue, specifically symptomatic uterine fibroids, in patients requiring such treatment under laparoscopic ultrasound guidance.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A unipolar endoscopic coagulator-cutter is a device designed to destroy tissue with high temperatures by directing a high frequency electrical current through the tissue between an energized probe and a grounding plate. It is used in female sterilization and in other operative procedures under endoscopic observation. This generic type of device may include the following accessories: an electrical generator, probes and electrical cables, and a patient grounding plate. This generic type of device does not include devices used to perform female sterilization under hysteroscopic observation.

| Legally Marketed Device to which<br>substantial equivalence is claimed | Acessa System (K121858) | |
| Intended Use | The Acessa Guidance Handpiece is indicated for use in percutaneous<br>laparoscopic coagulation and ablation of soft tissue, including treatment of<br>symptomatic uterine fibroids under laparoscopic ultrasound guidance. | |
| Device<br>Description | Acessa Guidance Handpiece (Model Number 5300):<br><br>The Acessa Guidance Handpiece, when used with the tracking system, is meant to<br>guide the tip of the Handpiece up to the uterine serosa. Once the device is<br>advanced into the uterus, standard ultrasound views are used to guide the tip to<br>the fibroid. Ultrasound visualization for fibroid penetration and treatment remain<br>unchanged.<br><br>The Acessa Guidance Handpiece is a single-use only, sterile, radiofrequency (RF)<br>applicator that connects to the Acessa Generator by a custom Cable. The<br>Handpiece consists of a handle with a trocar shaft, active needle tip, and seven<br>deployable needle electrodes each with embedded thermocouple sensors for real-<br>time temperature feedback. The Acessa Guidance Handpiece also has control<br>buttons that allow the user to access the User Interface.<br><br>This Acessa Guidance Handpiece also contains the magnetic guidance sensor<br>used to determine spatial location. The embedded sensor and SROM can be used<br>with the electromagnetic tracking technologies to track the positions of an<br>Ultrasound Transducer and the Handpiece shaft, and draws virtual representations<br>of them in their spatial relationship, so that a physician can predict the Handpiece<br>shaft's future path in relation to the features in the ultrasound slice. These<br>electromagnetic tracking technologies are considered optional accessories to | |
| | Acessa System procedure. | |
| Technological<br>Characteristics<br>Compared to<br>Predicate<br>Devices | The design features and principal modes of operation of the Acessa Guidance<br>Handpiece is the equivalent to the commercially available Acessa System. It is<br>the same product with the exception of the addition of the embedded sensor and<br>SROM so that the device may also be used, if desired, with electromagnetic<br>tracking technologies that can draw a virtual representation of the device. | |
| | Application of radiofrequency energy with both devices within a surgical<br>procedure is completed in the same manner. Substantial equivalence is<br>established with respect to the same indication for use, principal design, type of<br>energy used or delivered, performance and safety requirements. Treatment using<br>the Acessa Guidance Handpiece is the same as that of how the predicate would be<br>used. | |
| Performance<br>Testing | The Acessa Guidance Handpiece was subjected to electrical and safety testing<br>according to risks assessments performed based on the differences with the<br>predicate device. EMC and safety testing were completed on the device as<br>required within EN/IEC 60601-1:2005/2006 3rd edition Medical Electrical<br>Equipment Part 1 General Requirements for Safety, EN/IEC 60601-1-2:2007 3rd<br>edition Medical Electrical Equipment General Requirements for Basic Safety and<br>Essential Performance Collateral Standard Electromagnetic Compatibility<br>Requirements and Tests , EN/IEC 60601-2-2:2009 5th edition Medical Electrical<br>Equipment Particular Requirements for the Safety of High Frequency Surgical<br>Equipment. The device passed all testing. | |
| | A series of biocompatibility testing also demonstrated that the device with its<br>additional materials are safe, suitable, and appropriate for their intended use and<br>in compliance with ISO 10993-1:2009 4th edition Biological Evaluation of<br>Medical Devices Part 1 Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management<br>Process, ISO 10993-5:2009 3rd edition Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices<br>Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-10:2010 2nd edition Biological<br>Evaluation of Medical Devices Tests for Irritation and Delayed-Type<br>Hypersensitivity, and ISO 10993-11:2006 2nd edition Biological Evaluation of<br>Medical Devices Tests for Systemic Toxicity. | |
| | The Acessa Guidance Handpiece was also subjected to flexural strength testing as<br>well as compatibility testing with an electromagnetic tracking system. The device<br>met all the criteria. | |
| Conclusion | The Acessa Guidance Handpiece is substantially equivalent to the legally<br>marketed medical device as demonstrated by the technological characteristics<br>comparison and performance testing completed for this device. | |
