Electrical Impedance Spectrometer

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
It is indicated for use on cutaneous lesions with one or more clinical or historical characteristics of melanoma, when a dermatologist chooses to obtain additional information when considering biopsy. It should not be used on clinically obvious melanoma. It is to be used as one element of the overall clinical assessment. The output given by the device should be used in combination with clinical and historical signs of melanoma to obtain additional information prior to a decision to biopsy.
Physical State
Device is comprised of 1) Control Unit: processes examination data and presents electrical impedance spectra on the display, includes touch screen for user interaction, 2) Probe: holds the electrode used for lesion evaluation, 3)Probe Cable: connects probe to control unit, 3)Examination Electrodes – single patient use, sterile, disposable: The electrode head is covered with micro invasive pins (approximately 150 µm high with 170 µm triangular base), 4) Training Electrodes – single person use, sterile, disposable, 5) Test Impedance Tool, 6) Lesion Coverage Tool, 7) Power cord, 8)Battery, rechargeable (optional), and 9) USB flash drive
Technical Method
It utilizes electric impedance to characterize skin tissue in real-time. It consists of a control unit and a disposable electrode.

No Linked CFR Text

The FDA has not linked product code ONV to any particular section of the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). There are multiple reasons why this might be the case:

  • The product code was created for a class III submission that does not follow the normal PMN or PMA path - e.g., for a device that falls under HDE (Humanitarian Device Exemption) or EUA (Emergency Use Authorization).
  • The FDA has generated the product code for an existing Class III device, as a result of a PMA supplement that modifies the device in a way that it can't fit under the existing product code originally assigned
  • The product code was created for internal use at the FDA, and not for classification or regulatory-related purposes.
