AI/ML Overview

MINNIE Device Performance Study

This response outlines the acceptance criteria and study details for the MINNIE device, based on the provided 510(k) summary (K133405).

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriterionReported Device Performance
Effectiveness: At least a 2-point decrease in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale (FWS) scoreImmediate Post-Treatment: All 33 subjects in the active treatment group (Group C) met the success criterion. 3-Month Follow-up: All subjects in Group C demonstrated an improvement from baseline. In 42% of cases, there was no change in FWS score recorded at the completion of the treatment cycle
Safety: Monitoring for adverse eventsReported Adverse Events: 4 cases of moderate skin erythema, which resolved within a maximum of 3 days with antihistamines/topical corticosteroids/skin emollients.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Test Set (Clinical Study): 52 subjects
    • Group A (Control): 8 subjects
    • Group B (Sham): 11 subjects
    • Group C (Radiofrequency Treatment): 33 subjects
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the applicant (Elettronica Valseriana srl) is based in Italy, suggesting the study may have been conducted there. The study appears to be prospective as subjects were randomly assigned to groups and followed up.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth Establishment (Test Set)

  • Number of Experts: 3 physicians
  • Qualifications: "Blind to the randomization group," implying independence and impartiality. Specific years of experience or subspecialty (e.g., dermatologist, plastic surgeon) are not specified.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Implicitly, consensus or strong agreement. The summary states, "There were no differences in the scoring of the evaluators," suggesting that the 3 physicians' evaluations (on clinical photographs) matched the in-vivo scores made by the investigator. If there were discrepancies, an adjudication method was not explicitly described, but their agreement eliminates the need for one.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • **No, a specific MRMC comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance was not done.
  • The study involved human readers (3 blinded physicians and the investigator) assessing wrinkles using a standardized scale. The device itself is an energy delivery system, not an AI-based diagnostic or assistive reader tool. Therefore, an MRMC study in the typical AI context is not applicable here.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)

  • **No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done.
  • The MINNIE device is a medical device that delivers radiofrequency energy, not an algorithm that interprets data or provides diagnostic output. The clinical study assessed the effect of the device on human subjects.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Ground Truth Type: Expert consensus (for evaluations from photographs by blinded physicians that confirmed the in-vivo scores by the investigator) and clinical assessment using a standardized scale (Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale - FWS).

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Training Set Sample Size: A separate training set for an algorithm is not applicable as the MINNIE device is a hardware-based radiofrequency treatment system, not an AI software. The provided document describes a clinical study to evaluate the device's safety and effectiveness in treating wrinkles, not to train a machine learning model.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: Not applicable as there is no training set for an algorithm. The clinical study used the FWS as a measure to assess the device's effects on human subjects.

An extended comparison is presented in Document Substantial equivalence discussion.

Performance Standards:

MINNIE complies with the following Recognized standards:

  • · IEC 60601-2-2:2009 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories (with US/Canada deviations)
  • IEC 60601-1-2:2007 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1 General requirements for safety 2. Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests and the following voluntary standard
  • IEC 60601-1:2005 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1 General requirements for safety .

In addition it complies with European Directive 93/42/EEC for Medical Devices (Annex IX - Rule 9).

Clinical Performance Study:

A clinical study has been carried out in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of MINNIE. To measure effectiveness, success criterion was defined as at least 2 points decrease in in the FWS score. Adverse events were monitored to evaluate safety.

The population included 52 subjects (36 females, 16 males). At the enrollment visit, their condition was evaluated using Fitzpatrick Wrinkles Scale (FWS) and they were randomly assigned to 3 groups:

Group A: control (only visit, no stimulation), 8 subjects Group B: sham (electrical stimulation), 11 subjects Group C: radiofrequency treatment, 33 subjects. (active treatment group)

Evaluations were performed by the investigator on live study subjects and documented with clinical photographs. To confirm the in-vivo scores, evaluations from a team of 3 physicians blinded to the randomization group were carried out on photographs. There were no differences in the scoring of the evaluators.

Subjects in Group A received no treatment, and subjects in Group B received electrical stimulation (sham treatment). All the subjects included in Group C received a cycle of 4 treatments 2 weeks apart. The treatments for Group C were applied using monopolar and bipolar electrodes delivering 550 kHz to 800 kHz energy up to a maximum 30 W radiofrequency energy and 30 W thermal energy for specified duration.

At 1 month after the end of the cycle, a new evaluation was carried out using the FWS scale. Data analysis showed a substantial improvement, as all the subjects treated met the above success criterion (at least 2 points decrease on the FWS).

The initial clinical protocol did not include a scheduled follow up visit for clinical evaluation at 3 and 6 months after last treatment. Upon FDA request clinical information with FWS scores and clinical photographs as well as investigators evaluation were submitted, the results are summarized below:

All subjects were followed up at 3 and 6 month time points. Outcomes for Group C at the 3 and 6 months follow-up visit are:

  • י all of the patient population treated demonstrated an improvement from baseline.
  • at 3 months, in 42% of cases in the C group there was no change in the FWS score recorded at the completion of the treatment cycle.
  • at 6 months, 44% of the subjects in the C group showed an improvement with respect to the FWS score recorded at 3 months, confirming the continuation of the treatment effect.

{2}------------------------------------------------

30% of the requested study subject photographs at 6 months were not provided to the Agency for review due to patient privacy privilege.

The only adverse events reported in this study were 4 cases of moderate skin erythema which resolved with the use of antihistamines and/or topical corticosteroids and skin emollients for a short period of time (maximum of 3 days).

No decrease in FWS was noticed in any subject in Group A (control) or Group B (sham) at the 3 or 6 month follow-up time points.

Rationale for substantial equivalence:

A comparison of Indicated Use Statement and technological characteristics to other predicates has been performed. The indications for use of the MINNIE device were found to be equivalent to the predicate devices and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Performance testing further demonstrated that the device can output the listed monopolar and bipolar energy, and therefore demonstrated that the technological characteristics can be considered substantially equivalent. As summarized above, clinical performance data was collected to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. These data show that subjects obtained an improvement in the FWS immediately following treatment, and maintenance of that improvement was obtained at 3 and 6 months. Therefore, the indications for use, technical characteristics and clinical study information provided demonstrates that MINNIE is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

The MINNE device shares the same indications for use, similar design and functional features, thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
