Intended Use

The NanoKnife System with six outputs is indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

Device Story

The NanoKnife System is a low energy direct current (LEDC) non-thermal ablation device used for the surgical ablation of soft tissue. The system consists of a generator (console, LCD display, power unit, footswitch) and sterile, single-use, disposable electrode probes. The generator operates outside the sterile field. The system delivers LEDC energy through the electrode probes placed in the target tissue. The device features a GUI with touch screen capability. The system is operated by a physician. The fundamental operating principle is identical to the predicate Oncobionic systems, utilizing electrical pulses to ablate tissue. The device is a modified version of the predicate, featuring narrowed pulse amplitude and length parameters, an additional pulse-per-minute option, and updated GUI hardware/software.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Low energy direct current (LEDC) non-thermal ablation system. Components: Generator (console, LCD, power unit, footswitch) and sterile, single-use, disposable electrode probes. Features touch screen GUI. Operates via delivery of electrical pulses to target tissue. Hardware and software modifications relative to predicates include narrowed pulse amplitude/length ranges and an additional pulse-per-minute option.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

Regulatory Classification

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

• Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202)
• Oncobionic System (K080376)

## DEVICE INFORMATION

The NanoKnife System transmits low energy direct current (LEDC) energy from the Generator to Electrode Probes placed in a target area for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

#### Classification:

21CFR §878.4400, Electrosurgical Cutting and Coagulation Device and Accessories

Product Code: OAB

Trade Name: NanoKnife® System

# Generic/Common Name:

Low energy direct current non-thermal ablation device

## SECTION 5 510(k) SUMMARY (CONT.)

## PREDICATE DEVICE

The NanoKnife System is substantially equivalent to its predecessors, the Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202) and the Oncobionic System (K080376). The NanoKnife System is a modified version of these predicate devices that has the same device configuration as the Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202). The NanoKnife System includes singleuse, disposable Electrode Probes that are substantially equivalent to those utilized by the predicate devices.

## INTENDED USE

The NanoKnife System with six outputs is indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

## PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The NanoKnife System includes multiple components. The first component of the system is the Generator. The Generator operates outside of the sterile field and consists of an LCD Display, Console. Power Unit and Power Cord situated on a wheeled trolley and a Double Footswitch/Foot Pedal. The last component of the NanoKnife System is the sterile, single-use, disposable Electrode Probe. The NanoKnife System has the same device configuration as the Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202) with minor design modifications to the hardware componentry and software. The range of parameters, pulse amplitude and pulse length, have been narrowed, a third option to the unsynchronized pulse per minute has been added, and touch screen capability in the GUI have been provided to the end user. The fundamental operating principle and design of the NanoKnife System is identical to the Oncobionics predicate devices.

## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The indications for use for the NanoKnife System are identical to the indications for use for the predicate devices. The design modifications included in this 510(k) premarket notification do not affect the currently cleared intended use or indications for use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate devices. Therefore, the NanoKnife System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

## TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION

All necessary bench testing was conducted on the NanoKnife System to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The bench testing verifies that the NanoKnife System meets all the specified performance specifications and thus, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

## SUMMARY

The NanoKnife System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Kit Cariquitan:

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. 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.
