Intended Use
The Sectum control unit is a high frequency generator intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the treatment of selected medical conditions, such as relief of pain and muscle spasms, increase in local circulation and provide a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. The Sectum control unit utilizes a BODY and PRECISION applicator for delivering high frequency electrotherapy to tissue.
Device Story
Sectum System is a radiofrequency (RF) energy generator for aesthetic applications; utilizes corded bipolar 'BODY' and 'PRECISION' applicators to deliver high-frequency electrotherapy to tissue. Device operates via touchscreen interface and footswitch activation; includes integrated temperature monitoring system for treatment areas. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to elevate tissue temperature. Output is 480 kHz RF current; max power 100W. Benefits include pain relief, muscle spasm reduction, improved local circulation, and temporary cellulite reduction. Device does not use vacuum or magnetic fields, distinguishing it from some multi-modal predicates.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via bench testing only. Verification activities included electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-2, 60601-1-6, 60601-1-8), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-10 irritation), and skin surface temperature testing to confirm therapy limits.
Technological Characteristics
RF generator; 480 kHz output frequency; 100W max power. Bipolar mode. Applicators: BODY (6 electrodes) and PRECISION (2 electrodes). Integrated temperature monitoring. Standards: IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-2, 60601-1-6, 60601-1-8. Biocompatible materials per ISO 10993. Dimensions: 410 x 325 x 155 mm (control unit). Weight: 5 kg.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring topical heating for relief of pain, muscle spasms, increased local circulation, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

- IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Medical electrical equipment, Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility Requirements and tests
- IEC 60601-2-2:2009 Medical electrical equipment Part 2-2: Particular requirements
for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories
- IEC 60601-1-6:2010 + A1:2013 Medical electrical equipment Part 1-6: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Usability
- IEC 60601-1-8:2006 + A1:2012 Medical electrical equipment Part 1-8: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance – Collateral Standard: General requirements, tests and guidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems
Software verification and validation testing was conducted, and documentation provided in accordance with FDA's Guidance or the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices. This premarket submission did not rely on the assessment of clinical performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Skin surface temperature testing was completed proving the device is able to maintain tissue temperatures within the therapy specific limits.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Biocompatibility testing was evaluated on patient contacting materials per ISO 10993-1. Cytotoxicity and irritation testing show the components with patient contact are not cytotoxic per ISO 10993-5 or irritating per ISO 10993-10.
# (b)(3). Substantial Equivalence - Conclusions
Neauvia Sectum device does not raise any new concerns of safety and efficacy compared to the predicate devices. The similar technological characteristics, indications for use and results of performance testing support the substantial equivalence of the Neauvia Sectum to the predicate device.
