Device Story

HS AMICA devices family is a soft tissue ablation system for percutaneous or intra-operative use. It utilizes microwave (MW) energy via a coaxial antenna or radiofrequency (RF) energy via monopolar electrodes. The system includes a generator, cooling system (peristaltic pump/coolant), and disposable probes. The generator controls energy delivery; the new 'PULSED' mode provides intermittent MW energy (40% duty cycle, 190W max). Probes feature internal cooling and sharp tips for tissue penetration. Used by physicians in clinical settings to achieve thermo-ablation. The output (thermal energy) is controlled by the physician to coagulate soft tissue. Benefits include tailored ablation shapes and sizes for individual clinical cases.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Thermal effects performance tests were conducted on ex-vivo bovine liver, kidney, and muscle. Results demonstrated that the PULSED mode performs as safely and effectively as the continuous mode of the predicate device, providing more spherical ablation shapes.

Technological Characteristics

System includes microwave/RF generator, disposable cooled probes (stainless steel), and peristaltic cooling system. MW frequency: 2450 MHz; RF frequency: 450 kHz. Connectivity: footswitch. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide. Software: Rev. 1.7.1. Standards: EN 60601-1, EN 60601-2-2, EN 60601-2-6, EN 60601-1-2, IEC 62304, ISO 10993-1, ISO 11135.

Indications for Use

Indicated for coagulation (thermo-ablation) of soft tissues. Not for use in cardiac procedures.

HOSPITAL SERVICE S.P.A. | HS AMICA devices family | K150112 | ### 4. Device Description HS AMICA devices family is the advance version of the design of the legally marketed HS AMICA devices family Ablation System (K150112). AMICA-GEN is available in the following different models (same as in K150112): - AMICA-GEN AGN: Microwave generator only . - AMICA-GEN AGN-R: Radiofrequency generator only . - AMICA-GEN AGN-H: Hybrid Microwave and Radiofrequency generator (NB: the . MW and RF outputs can never be activated simultaneously. The actual energy source in use depends on the applied part type, RF or MW, connected to the generator) HS AMICA devices family is a fully featured soft tissue ablation system that is intended for coagulation (thermo-ablation) of soft tissues. Not for use in cardiac procedures. There are several available variants of PROBE (i.e. the applied parts for direct energy delivery into the patient's body for percutaneous or intra-operative use): - AMICA-PROBE's design is identical to that already cleared in K150112: disposable device for MW energy delivery into tissues through an embedded coaxial antenna of asymmetric dipole type. The antenna is lodged into a stainless steel needle serving as introducer. AMICA-PROBE is internally cooled all along the introducer length. The distal emitting tip (uncooled) -terminated by a sharp pyramidal metallic tip for facilitating tissue penetration- is endowed with a patented miniaturized choke for reflected waves confinement, so as to ensure a more spherical ablation shape; - RF AMICA-PROBE 's design is identical to that already cleared in K150112. ● RF AMICA-PROBE is a monopolar (i.e. single terminal), straight, stainless steel electrode, covered with an insulating sheath throughout its length, but for a few millimeters or centimeters at its distal tip (therefore referred to as "exposed tip"), which is terminated by a sharp pyramidal point for facilitating tissue penetration. RF AMICA-PROBE is internally cooled down to the exposed tip. When using RF AMICA-PROBE the current output to the patient's body delivered through the probe exposed tip must return to the generator through one or more "return {5}------------------------------------------------ electrodes" (also referred to as "grounding pads" or "dispersion plates" or "neutral electrodes"), in the form of metallic foils attached to the patient's skin and directly connected to the current generator. HS AMICA devices family consists of non-sterile reusable electronic parts, and sterile disposable applied parts, identically to the predicate device HS AMICA devices family (K150112). The sterilization method used for all the sterile components is Ethylene Oxide. The method is exactly the same used and validated for the predicate device cleared in HS AMICA devices family. The microwave devices can be operated in continuous and PULSE mode. The PULSE mode is new operational mode with a duty cycle of 40% and a max output power of 190 Watts. # 5. Indications for use Coagulation (thermo-ablation) of soft tissues. Not for use in cardiac procedures. # 6. Comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate devices This subject device is the advance version of the previous HS AMICA devices family (K150112), that has been included in the present submission as predicate device. They have identical indications for use and same technology features, with the following different technical features in the subject device: - a) new option of Microwave power delivery algorithms; namely, the "PULSED" mode, which provides for intermittent energy delivery according to a given working cycle. - b) software version updated to Rev. 1.7.1 The comparison of the subject and predicate devices based on indications for use, technology and performance characteristics, is summarized in the following table and discussed below. {6}------------------------------------------------ | | | | | PREDICATE DEVICE | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--| | | H.S.

This is set by physician. - . The total maximum output power of the PULSE mode within the ablation period is 190x40%=76W, which is less than the maximum output power 140W of the continuous mode in the predicate device. - · Thermal Effects tests with ex-vivo bovine liver, kidney and muscle demonstrated the ablation can be done with the PULSE mode as safely and effectively as the continuous mode. ## b) Software version updated to Rev. 1.7.1 HS AMICA medical devices family has been developed and validated according to Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices requirements FDA-May 2005 and IEC 62304. In conclusion, the different technological features of HS AMICA devices family will not affect its classification, working principle, intended use, indications for use and target population and will not rise up new safety and effectiveness questions making HS AMICA devices family equivalent to predicate device (K150112). # 7.
