Indications for Use
The Irreversible Electroporation Ablation Generator is indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue. The Irreversible Electroporation Probe is used in conjunction with Irreversible Electroporation of CuraWay indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.
Device Story
System comprises generator, foot switch, power cord, and probes (monopolar/bipolar). Inputs include user settings and optional external ECG signal for synchronization. Generator delivers high-voltage electrical pulses to probes placed in target soft tissue; pulses create nano-scale permanent perforations in cell membranes, disrupting intracellular balance and inducing apoptosis; cells are cleared by lymphatic system. Includes Needle Track Coagulation mode (480kHz) to induce tissue necrosis via frictional heat during probe withdrawal. Used in clinical settings by physicians. ECG synchronization ensures pulses trigger with cardiac rhythm to prevent arrhythmias. Output allows precise tissue ablation; benefits include non-thermal cell death mechanism for soft tissue management.

#### Device Description
The Irreversible Electroporation Ablation Generator consists of a generator, foot switch and power cord. The generator will be used together with the Irreversible Electroporation Probe and Neutral Electrode.
The Irreversible Electroporation Probe has two types: monopolar probe and bipolar probe. Monopolar probe also has two types: Standard Probe and Activation Probe.
The Irreversible Electroporation Ablation Generator has three working modes:
- A Mode 1: Monopolar steep pulse mode;
- A Mode 2: Bipolar steep pulse mode;
- A Mode 3: Needle Track Coagulation.
Mode 1 and Mode 2 are used for soft tissue ablation, the working principle is that the generator transfers non-thermal energy to electrodes which are placed at the target area, it will release high-voltage electrical pulses forming nano-scale permanent perforations on the soft tissues to disrupt the intracellular balance and induce cell apoptosis. The cells die and are removed by the human body's own lymphatic system.
The Mode 3 is used for the soft tissue coagulation during the process when the probe is pulled out. This module works at 480kHZ, the high frequency flows to the probe's tip and then is applied to the tissue. Frictional heat occurs and causes the ions to move between the negative pole and the positive pole 40,000 to 50,000 times per second. Heat generated from the tissue impedance induces tissue necrosis.
Subject device can work at ECG synchronization trigger mode. During this mode, an external R-wave detector must be connected. R-wave detector monitors the patient's cardiac rate and transfers it to R waves which will be detected by the generator and then a pulse will be triggered. Every time a R wave is detected, one pulse is triggered such that every time the heart beats, a pulse will be triggered, so that the electroporation pulses can be triggered and delivered in proper synchronization with the patient's cardiac rhythm.
#### Indications for use
The Irreversible Electroporation Ablation Generator is indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissues.
The Irreversible Electroporation Probe is used in conjunction with Irreversible Electroporation Ablation Generator of CuraWay indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

IEC62304:2015 and Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (Issued on May 11,2005) were used as reference documents during software design verification/validation.
## Non-Clinical Tests
Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that the subject devices met all design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Ex-vivo tissue testing using swine muscle tissue, liver tissue and kidney tissue was performed. The result showed the ablation effect and ablation zones of the subject device is substantial equivalent to the predicate device and the reference device. ECG trigger mode testing was conducted to compare ECG synchronization trigger mode of subject to that of the predicate device.
In-vivo animal (swine) testing was conducted to compare the subject device group and predicate device group in following aspects: blood routine, blood biochemistry, myocardial enzymes and the diameter of ablation. The long ablation diameter and short ablation diameter of subject device group was compared to those of predicate device.
The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:
