## Intended Use

The Intine™ Bi-Polar RF Linear Coagulation Device is intended to coaqulate tissue during laparoscopic and intraoperative surgical procedures.

## Device Story

InLine™ Bi-Polar RF Linear Coagulation Device is a single-use, sterile, hand-held electrosurgical instrument. Device delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy via electrodes to coagulate or ablate tissue. Used by surgeons during intraoperative procedures or through non-conductive hand-ports during laparoscopic surgery. Device functions by applying RF energy to target tissue to achieve hemostasis or tissue destruction. Benefits include controlled tissue coagulation in surgical settings.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and functional testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-use, sterile, hand-held bipolar RF device. Operates via RF energy delivery for tissue coagulation/ablation. Form factor designed for intraoperative or laparoscopic use (via hand-port).

## 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Radionics Cool-tip RF Electrode ([K984552](/device/K984552.md))

Dear Mr. van Vugt:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the clectronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
