You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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: Center for Devices and Radiological Health (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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" U.S. Food & Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov {1} K262460 - Yuki Yamashita Page 2 (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download). Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13485 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), ISO 13485 clause 8.5.2 (Corrective action), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5.3 (Preventative action).

Device Description The Rezüm System is designed to treat patients with bothersome urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The Rezüm System utilizes radiofrequency current to generate "wet" thermal energy in the form of water vapor, which is then injected into the transition zone and/or median lobe of the prostate tissue in controlled 9-second doses. The vapor that is injected into the prostate tissue rapidly disperses through the interstitial space between the tissue cells. As the vapor cools, it condenses immediately on contact with tissue and the stored thermal energy is released, denaturing the cell membranes and causing cell death. The denatured cells are absorbed by the body, which reduces the volume of prostate tissue adjacent to the urethra. The vapor condensation process also causes a rapid collapse of vasculature in the treatment zone, resulting in a bloodless procedure. Following thermal therapy for BPH, small pieces of coagulated tissue may slough off and be expelled via urination. This sloughing process may continue for a few months post-procedure depending on the rate of healing. The Rezüm System consists of the following: - Rezüm Console – reusable, non-sterile capital equipment, provided with one power cord - Rezüm Delivery Device Kit – sterile, single-use kit containing the following disposable components: - One sterile Delivery Device with cable and tubing - One sterile syringe - One sterile spike adaptor - One sterile water vial ### F. Intended Use/Indications for Use The Rezüm System is intended to relieve symptoms, obstructions, and reduce prostate tissue associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is indicated for men ≥ 50 years of age with a prostate volume 30 cm³ ≤ 150 cm³. The Rezüm System is also indicated for treatment of prostate with hyperplasia of the central zone and/or a median lobe. ### G. Technological Characteristics Compared to the Predicate The fundamental technology, operating principle, and performance remain unchanged. The proposed device modifications are limited to the Rezum Console; the Rezum Delivery Device remains unchanged. The minor differences in technological characteristics include: - Software, firmware, and hardware changes associated with needle deployment - Change to the software operating system - Graphical user interface (GUI) enhancements - Addition of mounting capability and a Mobility Pole ### H. Performance Data Non-clinical performance testing included the following: Page 2 of 3 {6} K262460 Page 3 of 3 - Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Assessed and tested per IEC 60601-1-2 and FDA guidance Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of Medical Devices - EMT (Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal) Safety: Assessed and tested per IEC 60601-1 - System and Hardware Design Verification - Human Factors: Summative usability evaluation per IEC 62366-1 and FDA guidance Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices - Software Verification and Validation: Validated and verified per IEC 62304 - Cybersecurity: Assessed and tested per FDA guidance Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions All non-clinical performance testing were executed with passing results, demonstrating that the subject device meets all design, performance, and user requirements, remains suitable for its intended use, and the proposed modifications do not affect the safe and effective use of the device by the intended users in the intended use environment. # I. Conclusion The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate. The intended use and indications for use of the subject device are the same as the predicate. The minor differences in technological characteristics do not raise different types of questions of safety or effectiveness. The fundamental technology, operating principle, and performance remain unchanged. Non-clinical performance testing demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of the subject device for its intended use. Page 3 of 3
