The Cynosure Acclaim Dermatology Laser is indicated for the treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions and hair removal.
The Acclaim is a pulsed solid state laser, emitting at the near intra-red wavelength of 1064nm. Laser activation is both by finger switch and footswitch. Overall weight of the laser is 285lbs, and the size is 44"x19"x24" (HxWxD). Electrical requirement is 110 VAC or 220 VAC, 20A, 50-60 Hz, single phase.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the Cynosure Acclaim Dermatology Laser, submitted in 2001. It is a pre-market notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
The document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way a modern medical AI device submission would. This is because the device is a laser system, not an AI or software as a medical device (SaMD), and the regulatory requirements and types of performance studies were fundamentally different in 2001.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from the provided text. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate laser devices based on intended use, principle of operation, wavelength, and pulse energy range, rather than on detailed performance metrics from a clinical study with acceptance criteria.
Here's why the requested information is not present:
- Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Table): This type of detailed performance data with specific numerical acceptance criteria is typical for clinical studies of new drug efficacy, diagnostic accuracy for IVD/imaging devices, or AI/SaMD performance. For a laser system in 2001, "performance" was largely assessed by comparing technical specifications and intended use to existing, legally marketed devices.
- Sample Size, Ground Truth, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone Studies, Training Set Details: These items are all highly relevant to the evaluation of AI/ML-based medical devices or complex diagnostic systems. A laser device like the Acclaim Dermatology Laser does not involve these types of evaluations. Its effectiveness is based on the known biophysical interaction of laser light with tissue, which was established through a long history of use for similar devices. The regulatory pathway in 2001 for this type of device primarily required demonstrating technical similarity and safe operation compared to predicates.

The Acclaim is a pulsed solid state laser, emitting at the near intra-red wavelength of 1064nm.
Laser activation is both by finger switch and footswitch. Overall weight of the laser is 285lbs, and the size is 44"x19"x24" (HxWxD).
Electrical requirement is 110 VAC or 220 VAC, 20A, 50-60 Hz, single phase.
The Acclaim Dermatology Laser is indicated for benign vascular lesions and hair removal.
The Acclaim Dermatology Laser has the same indication for uses, the same principle of operation, the same wavelength and pulse energy range as the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Cho:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations (1 remarrer ripps of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
