Intended Use

INTRAcel RF Microneedle System is indicated for use in dermatological and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation, hemostasis and the percutaneous fractional treatment of the skin in monopolar and bipolar mode.

Device Story

System comprises RF generator with user interface and disposable hand-held electrode insertion device with 49 microneedles. Operator (physician) uses device to deliver RF energy into skin tissue. In bipolar mode, energy flows between adjacent electrode pairs; in monopolar mode, energy flows between active microneedle electrode and external neutral electrode pad. Heat generated at active electrode causes tissue coagulation. Used in clinical settings for dermatological/surgical procedures. Output provides controlled thermal effect for hemostasis and skin treatment. Benefits include precise tissue coagulation and fractional skin treatment.

Clinical Evidence

No human clinical trials provided. Evidence consists of bench testing (electrical safety, EMC, performance, biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf-life) and an animal study (porcine model) evaluating wound healing response, collagen/HSP/MMP expression via H&E staining, HSP47 staining, and RT-PCR over 10 weeks.

Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical unit; 1MHz frequency; 50W power; 90V output. Microneedle electrodes (SUS304) with ABS tips. Monopolar/bipolar modes. Single-use sterile electrode insertion device.

PREDICATE DEVICE The INTRAcel RF Microneedle System is substantially equivalent to the following cleared device: | Company | Predicate<br>Priority | Product | 510(k) Number | |---------------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------| | Jeisys<br>Medical<br>Inc. | Primary Predicate | INTRAcel Premium<br>Fractional<br>RF Micro needle (FRM)<br>System | K153727 | {4}------------------------------------------------ #### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The INTRAcel RF Microneedle System is indicated for use in dermatological and general surgical procedures. INTRAcel RF Microneedle System comprises of two primary components; an RF Generator with User Interface Software and a disposable Electrode Insertion Device with an integrated cable. RF Generator: RF energy is delivered from the RF Generator through the electrodes into the target tissue. Treatment is provided in bipolar mode and monopolar mode. In the monopolar mode, RF energy flows from the main unit and a patient loop is formed by pairing the active electrode (microneedle electrode) with the neutral electrode pad. Heat is not generated in a neutral electrode plate which has a low contact resistance but heat is generated in an active electrode which has a relatively large contact resistance and this heat momentarily causes tissue to heat up to cause coagulation. The bipolar RF energy is delivered between independent adjacent electrode pairs. The RF Generator is not disposable. Electrode Insertion Device: The insertion device is a hand-held mechanical device that is used to insert the electrodes into the target tissue. It is supplied sterile, is for single patient use only and cannot be resterilized. The device has forty-nine electrodes. The device has a mechanism to deploy and retract the electrodes when actuated by the operator. Cable: There is a cable with a connector that connects to the RF Generator. The RF Generator is the energy source for the system. Accessories: Cables, neutral electrode pad, neutral electrode pad cable, footswitch, and power cord are also supplied with the system. #### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE INTRAcel RF Microneedle System is indicated for use in dermatological and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation, hemostasis and percutaneous fractional treatment of the skin in monopolar and bipolar mode. # TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS W.R.T.

NON-CLINICAL STUDY - 1.1. Non-Clinical Performance Data The device's hardware and software development, verification, and validation have been carried out in accordance with FDA guidelines. The software was tested against the established Software Design Specifications for each of the test plans to assure that the device performs as intended. The Device Hazard Analysis was completed and risk control was {8}------------------------------------------------ implemented to mitigate identified hazards. The test results demonstrate that all the acceptance criteria of each module and interaction of processes have been met. The Subject Device passed all testing which supports substantial equivalence and safe operation. The INTRAcel RF Microneedle System complies with the applicable voluntary standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Safety. The device passed all the electrical and safety testing according to national and international standards. | Testing Type | Test Description | Test Result | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Electrical Safety<br>and<br>Electromagnetic<br>Compatibility<br>Testing | • IEC 60601-1:2012<br>• IEC 60601-1-6:2010,A<br>MD1:2013<br>• IEC 60601-2-2:2009 | The INTRAcel RF<br>Microneedle<br>System met all<br>acceptance criteria in<br>accordance with IEC<br>60601-1:2012,<br>IEC 60601-1-6:2010,<br>AMDA1:2013<br>and IEC<br>60601-2-2:2009. | | Performance<br>Testing | • Performance Test<br>Report for ESU<br>• INTRAcel Tip<br>Count Test<br>• Verification<br>Performance of<br>INTRAcel Tip | The INTRAcel RF<br>Microneedle has<br>met the acceptance<br>criteria. | | Biocompatibility<br>Testing | • Cytotoxicity<br>• Sensitization<br>• Intracutaneous<br>Reactivity | The microneedle<br>electrodes are<br>biocompatible. | | Sterilization and<br>Shelf Life Testing | • Ethylene Oxide<br>Sterilization | The INTRAcel RF<br>Microneedle has | | | Residuals Accelerated aging test | met the acceptance criteria. | Tests Performed {9}------------------------------------------------ #### VIII. SOFTWARE VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION TESTING Software Verification and Validation Testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as "moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software would not directly or indirectly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator. #### ANIMAL PERFORMANCE TESTING IX. A study was conducted to see the wound healing response following FRM treatment for both human and porcine skin. Healing responses were observed by the time after Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (FRM) treatment at various energy levels. Biopsy was conducted to see the wound healing process immediately after the treatment, 2days, 14days, 28days, and 10 weeks post the treatment. H&E stain and HSP47 stain were conducted to see the changes in inflammatory cell, collagen. Also, the study has conducted RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction) with the tissue biopsied from Micro-pig covering 10 weeks to see mRNA change of collagen, Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs). #### CONCLUSION X. The INTRAcel RF Microneedle System is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device in Indications for Use, key technological characteristics of the Electrosurgical Unit (ESU) and operating principle. Safety and performance testing was performed and Jeisys Medical Inc. has concluded that the Subject Device does not raise any new questions of safety and efficacy and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
