Dear Fay Dalton:

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 (the 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 available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

## Device Information:

- Trade Name: NEUROMARK® System
- Common Name: Radiofrequency Probe
- Classification Name: Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories
- Product Code: GEI
- Classification: Class II
- Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4400
- Predicate Device: NEUROMARK® System [K222032]

## Device Description:

The NEUROMARK System is intended for the application of Radiofrequency (RF) energy to create lesions in mucosal tissue in otolaryngological [also known as Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)] procedures in patients with chronic rhinitis.

The NEUROMARK System is composed of the NEUROMARK Device and the NEUROMARK Radiofrequency (RF) Console.

The NEUROMARK Device is a hand-held, single-use, bipolar radiofrequency device which comprises a handle, shaft, and treatment tip. The treatment tip, which is referred to as the End Effector, consists of an array of bipolar electrodes that deliver RF energy while monitoring feedback on tissue bio-impedance changes allowing for controlled RF energy delivery. The shaft of the device is pre-shaped to aid access and delivery to the nasal cavity but is malleable to allow the user to bend or shape it to accommodate variations in anatomy to access the desired treatment area. The NEUROMARK Device is operated via handle, slider and activation button. Once in the desired position within the nasal cavity, the operator moves the slider backwards which retracts the outer sheath, deploying the End Effector. Using the activation button, the user initiates a bio-impedance check to assess and confirm contact between the End Effector and the treatment area. Once the System confirms contact has been achieved, a subsequent press of the activation button initiates the RF energy delivery cycle. The NEUROMARK Device is intended for single use and provided sterile (EO).

The NEUROMARK Device is designed for use with the NEUROMARK Radiofrequency (RF) Console only and is connected via a flexible interface cable.

The NEUROMARK Console delivers, monitors and controls RF energy to the Device. The Console includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which provides operational instructions for the procedure, directs the user to select nasal cavities for treatment, indicates when the device is in contact with

tissue and ready to start treatment, provides status of therapy and indicates when the procedure is complete. The NEUROMARK Console works in conjunction with software.

## Indication for Use:

The NEUROMARK System is indicated for use in otorhinolaryngology (ENT) surgery for creation of radiofrequency (RF) lesions to disrupt posterior nasal nerves in patients with chronic rhinitis.

## Technological Characteristics:

The NEUROMARK System (subject device) has the same intended use, indications for use and fundamental scientific technology as the predicate NEUROMARK System [K222032].

The subject device has the same technological characteristics (i.e., principle of operation, anatomical location of use, design configuration, functionality, energy type, standard medical grade materials, biocompatibility, feedback control, thermal lesion characteristics, electrical and thermal safety, performance specifications, shelf-life, and sterilization) as the predicate device.

The treatment tip of the subject device has fewer leaflets and minor changes in material from that of the predicate device. The shaft of the subject device has minor changes in material and dimensions from that of the predicate device. The subject device activation button, slider, connector, interface cable, and sterile barrier packaging configuration were modified for simplicity.

## Performance Data:

Performance testing of the NEUROMARK System consisted of design verification testing, usability testing, biocompatibility, software, and electrical and thermal safety testing to support the device modifications listed above. All testing passed and showed that the device meets design specifications, performs as intended, and performs the same as the predicate.

## Substantial Equivalence:

The NEUROMARK System has the same intended use, indications for use and fundamental scientific technology as the predicate device. Evaluation of the impact of the device modifications was completed. The minor changes made to the subject device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Performance testing was completed to ensure the subject device meets intended use, product specifications, and performs the same as the predicate device. The NEUROMARK System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

## Conclusion:

In conclusion, the intended use, indications for use and fundamental technological characteristics are the same as the predicate device. Performance testing has demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective and that its performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
