Intended Use

The AliTight device is intended for use in the non-invasive heating of facial skin.

Device Description

The AliTight device delivers RF current into the skin to generate heat through electrical impedance in the dermis and subcutaneous layers. The device consists of the AliTight device and the AliTight power supply.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the AliTight device, an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device. However, it does not contain the specific information required to answer your detailed questions about acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets those criteria, especially regarding AI-driven performance.

The document primarily focuses on showing the AliTight device's substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Pollogen Ltd., STOP U K140255) based on technological characteristics and compliance with general safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series).

Here's a breakdown of what is in the document related to performance, and why it doesn't meet your request:

What is present regarding performance:

  • "Performance Data" Section: This section states:
    • "ALIC IOTECH conducted several performance tests to demonstrate that the AliTight device complies with performance standards and that it functions as intended."
    • "Verification test demonstrating that the AliTight device meets the system's technical specifications for the over-heating safety and RF power output."
    • "The AliTight device software was validated as required."
    • "In all instances the AliTight device functioned as intended and observations were as expected."
  • "Performance Standards" Section: Lists several IEC standards the device complies with, primarily general electrical safety, EMC, usability, and software lifecycle.

Why the document does not meet your request for AI-specific performance and study details:

  1. AI is Not Mentioned: The term "AI," "artificial intelligence," "machine learning," or any related concepts are not present anywhere in this 510(k) summary. The device, AliTight, is described as delivering "RF current into the skin to generate heat through electrical impedance." The "software" mentioned is for general device control and safety mechanisms, not for diagnostic or AI-assisted interpretation of medical images/data.
  2. No Clinical Study Details for Acceptance Criteria: The document mentions "performance tests" but does not provide:
    • A table of acceptance criteria (e.g., specific sensitivity, specificity, accuracy targets).
    • Reported device performance metrics against such criteria.
    • Details on sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert numbers/qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth types.
    • Information about training sets (sample size, ground truth establishment).

Conclusion based on the provided text:

The AliTight device, as described in this 510(k) summary, is an electrosurgical device for non-invasive skin heating. It is not an AI-driven device for which the requested performance study details would typically be documented. The "performance data" referred to in the document pertains to general functional verification, safety mechanisms (like temperature sensing and RF power output), and software validation, aligning with typical electrical medical device requirements, not AI-specific validation.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or provide the requested details because the source document does not contain information about an AI component or a study meeting your detailed criteria for AI device validation.

Dear Like Zeng:

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. 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 located 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: 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, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

{1}------------------------------------------------

devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
