## Indications for Use

The device is intended to treat benign superficial dermatological indications that includes; warts, molluscum contagiosm, angioma, fibroma, seborrheic keratoses, acrochordon, svringoma, hydrocystoma, clavus, actinic keratoses, keloids, epidermoid cysts, cystic acne, cutaneous leishmaniasis, atypical mycobacteria, and dermatophytosis.

## Device Story

TTI ThermoMed Model 1.8 delivers localized current field (LCF) radio frequency (RF) heat to destroy diseased tissue. Device consists of handheld wand with autoclaveable energy applicator. Operator selects target temperature; device provides audial/visual signals at 30-second intervals once target is reached. Used by clinicians for superficial dermatological conditions. Modification updates temperature controller from analog to digital. Output heat facilitates tissue destruction; clinical benefit is removal of benign lesions.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Device modification evaluated via risk analysis and mitigation processes.

## Technological Characteristics

Localized current field (LCF) radio frequency (RF) instrument. Features autoclaveable energy applicator. Modification includes digital temperature controller (previously analog).

## Regulatory Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

TTI ThermoMed™ Model 1.8 Instrument

Localized current field radio frequency instrument

Device, Electrosurgical, Cutting and Coagulation Accessories, Class II GEI / 878.4400

K894166 - RDM Thermosurgery™ Localized Current Field RF Instrument GEI / 878.4400/ClassII

The TTI ThermoMed device delivers controlled localized current field (LCF) radio frequency (RF) heat to selectively destroy certain diseased tissue. RF energy is delivered to the dermal surface via a hand held wand with an autoclaveable energy applicator. For convenience, an audial and visual signal indicates the elapsed treatment time in 30-second intervals after the selected target temperature is reached.

The device is intended to treat benign superficial dermatological indications that includes; warts, molluscum contagiosm, angioma, fibroma, seborrheic keratoses, acrochordon, svringoma, hydrocystoma, clavus, actinic keratoses, keloids, epidermoid cysts, cystic acne, cutaneous leishmaniasis, atypical mycobacteria, and dermatophytosis.

Treatment of patients with implanted electronic devices, patients with metallic implants and pregnant women is contraindicated.

This Special 510(k) device modification is submitted to provide notification of a change in the temperature controller from analog to digital control. No negative effects on safety or effectiveness have been found after the risk analysis and risk mitigation process. This change is rated as a "minor level of concern" per the May 1998 software quidance.
