Device Story
VirtueRF is a radiofrequency (RF) electrosurgical system delivering 1MHz or 2MHz energy to human tissue via a sterile disposable 36-needle bipolar array. System components include main console, Smart RF handpiece cable, foot switch, and power cord. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for electrocoagulation, hemostasis, and wrinkle treatment. Energy delivery is controlled by the operator via the handpiece; thermal effects on tissue facilitate the intended surgical outcomes. Device provides controlled RF energy to target tissue, aiding in dermatologic and general surgical procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-2-2 (high-frequency surgical equipment), ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility), and thermal effect tests on liver, kidney, muscle, and skin tissues per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Bipolar fractional RF electrosurgical system; 1MHz and 2MHz frequencies; 36-needle bipolar array; max power 35.9W (1MHz) and 25W (2MHz); RF duration 100-800ms. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2, and ISO 10993-1 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for dermatologic and general surgical electrocoagulation and hemostasis (1MHz and 2MHz) and percutaneous treatment of facial wrinkles (1MHz only). Intended for use on Skin Types I-V.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Connie Hoy:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrl/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance)and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.

| | Comparison for 2MHz Functionality | | |
|------------------------------|---------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|------------|
| | Proposed Device<br>ShenB VirtueRF | Reference device<br>for 2MHz<br>Secret RF | Comparison |
| Source of<br>Energy/Modality | Bipolar Fractional RF | Bipolar Fractional RF | Same |
| Radiofrequency | 2MHz | 2MHz | Same |
| Output energy type | High Frequency | High Frequency | Same |

| Max Power | 25 W | 25W | Same |
| RF Duration | 100ms-800ms, with<br>100ms increments | 50ms - 950ms | Similar |
Conclusion: The VirtueRF and the predicate device relevant to 1MHz functionality, the Vivace Electrosurgical System, have the same indications for use and the same technological characteristics. The VirtueRF and the reference device relevant to 2MHz functionality, the Secret RF, have the same indications for use and nearly identical technological characteristics. The RF duration for the proposed VirtueRF (100ms-800ms) varies from the Secret RF only in that it is a subset of the Secret RF Duration. Therefore, VirtueRF substantially equivalent to both the predicate device and the reference device and there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
