Indications for Use

The Enigma RF Device is intended for use in dermatologic procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.

Device Story

Enigma RF Device is a battery-powered, handheld, pen-style electrosurgical device; delivers 1 MHz bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to tissue via a disposable cartridge containing 36 insulated microneedle electrodes (6x6 array). Operated by clinicians in dermatologic settings; user selects insertion depth (0.5–3.5 mm) and intensity (1–10 levels) via integrated touch display on handpiece. Device transforms electrical energy into thermal energy at needle tips; induces localized micro-coagulation and hemostasis. Battery-powered design allows portability compared to console-based predicate. Output affects tissue coagulation; benefits patient by providing controlled, localized hemostasis during dermatologic procedures.

SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE The Enigma RF Device has the same intended use as the predicate VIVACE Electrosurgical System (K193070) and is regulated under the same classification regulation and product codes. Both devices deliver bipolar radiofrequency energy at 1 MHz through a bipolar handpiece and an array of 36 microneedle electrodes arranged in a \( 6 \times 6 \) configuration, inserted percutaneously to a depth within the range of 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm, with treatment intensity selectable over 10 levels. The fundamental scientific technology and the mechanism by which the clinical effect is achieved are therefore identical. The differences in technological characteristics identified in Table 3 are addressed below. #### Maximum power The maximum output power of the subject device, measured into the same 500 Ω load resistance used to characterize the predicate, is lower than that of the predicate device. A lower maximum output does not introduce a new risk relative to the predicate. Comparative bench testing demonstrated that, at matched operating settings, the subject device produces thermal distributions and micro-coagulation zone dimensions comparable to those of the predicate, confirming equivalent tissue effect. #### Electrical requirements and user interface. The predicate device is a mains-powered console with a tethered handpiece and a console-mounted LCD touch screen control panel. The subject device is a self-contained, battery-powered handpiece with an integrated touch display and a charging base. Both devices provide the same operator control functions, namely selection of insertion depth and intensity and initiation of radiofrequency delivery. The tissue interaction at the needle-electrode interface is determined by the radiofrequency output characteristics and the electrode geometry, which are equivalent, and is not affected by the physical location of the radiofrequency generator or of the display. ### I. CONCLUSION The Enigma RF Device has the same intended use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the predicate VIVACE Electrosurgical System (K193070). Where differences in technological characteristics exist, they represent simplifications of, or reductions relative to, the capabilities of the predicate device, and each has been shown not to raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Based on the comparison of intended use, technological characteristics and performance data presented, the Ellian Enigma RF Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate VIVACE Electrosurgical System (K193070).
