## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON

#### Comparison to Predicate Devices

The technological characteristics and indications for use of the Aragon Surgical System are similar to those of the cited predicate electrosurgical devices, as well as the similar RF Systems distributed by other manufacturers. These devices are equivalent in terms of design, materials, principal of operation, and product specifications. Any differences between the Aragon Surgical System and the predicate devices do not raise new issues regarding safety or effectiveness.

#### PERFORMANCE DATA

Results of bench and pre-clinical evaluations were used to demonstrate that the Aragon Surgical System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and meets design, safety, and effectiveness criteria.

#### CONCLUSION

Based on the design, materials, function, intended use, and pre-clinical evaluation, the Aragon Surgical System is substantially equivalent to the devices currently marketed under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Sufficient data were obtained to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and raises no new safety or effectiveness issues. Therefore, safety and effectiveness are reasonably assured, justifying 510(k) clearance for commercial sale.

Dear Mr. Curtis:

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
