The PhotoMedex LaserPro CO2 carbon dioxide laser system is designed to provide infrared laser power at a wavelength of 10,600nm which can be used for the procedures indicated in the next section. The system is comprised of the following main components: A laser console, A laser console tower, Display panel with soft-touch keypad control and separate Emergency Off button, Laser system microprocessor control electronics with operating software, A seven segment counterbalanced articulated arm designed to accept the delivery accessories defined in CHART A located in the next section, A detachable covered footswitch.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the PhotoMedex LaserPro CO2 Carbon Dioxide Laser System. This document is a premarket notification for a medical device and, as such, focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving new efficacy or safety through novel studies with specific acceptance criteria that would typically be found in an AI/ML device submission.
Therefore, many of the requested items related to acceptance criteria, specific study designs (like MRMC or standalone performance), sample sizes, ground truth establishment, and expert qualifications are not applicable to this type of submission. This 510(k) primarily relies on adherence to recognized standards and similarity to previously cleared devices.
Here's an assessment based on the available information:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Not Applicable. This submission is for a laser surgical instrument, a hardware device, seeking clearance based on substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. It does not present specific performance metrics or acceptance criteria in the way an AI/ML device would (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it states compliance with general safety and performance standards.
- The "performance" is implicitly demonstrated through adherence to the following standards:
- 21 CFR 1040.10 & 1040.11 (Performance Standards for Laser Products)
- PART 820 – Quality System Regulation
- EN60601-1 (Medical electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance)
- EN60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility – Requirements and tests)
- EN60601-2-22 (Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of surgical, therapeutic and diagnostic laser equipment)
- EN 60601-1-4 (General requirements for safety – Collateral Standard: Programmable electrical medical systems)
- EN ISO 14971 (Medical devices – Application of risk management to medical devices)
- IEC60825 (Safety of laser products)
- UL2601-1 / UL60601-1 (Medical Electrical Equipment – Part 1: General Requirements for Safety)
-
Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not Applicable. No explicit test set or clinical data (in the sense of a data-driven AI/ML study) is described. The device's safety and effectiveness are established through compliance with recognized standards and comparison to predicate devices, not through a clinical performance study with a test set of patient data.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not Applicable. As no specific data-driven test set is described, there's no mention of experts establishing ground truth for such a set.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable. No test set or related adjudication method is mentioned.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- Not Applicable. This is a hardware laser device, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device. Therefore, no MRMC study would be applicable or expected.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This is a hardware laser device, not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not Applicable. Ground truth in the context of AI/ML performance assessment is not relevant for this device. The "ground truth" for this submission is adherence to engineering and safety standards, and the established safety and efficacy of the predicate devices for similar indications.
-
The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is a hardware device. AI/ML training sets are not relevant here.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. As no training set or AI/ML component is involved, ground truth establishment for a training set is irrelevant.
Summary of the Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria (as described in the 510(k)):
The study proving the device meets the "acceptance criteria" (which are more accurately described as regulatory and engineering standards, and substantial equivalence requirements) is detailed in Section 7, "SAFETY AND EFECTIVENESS; PRODUCT PERFORMANCE."
- Study Design: The submission indicates that the PhotoMedex LaserPro CO2 Carbon Dioxide Laser System is "designed, tested and will be manufactured in accordance with both mandatory and voluntary standards." This indicates a verification and validation process against recognized standards rather than a clinical trial with performance metrics against a clinical ground truth.
- Proof of Safety and Effectiveness: The primary "proof" for this 510(k) submission lies in demonstrating:
- Compliance with Standards: The device meets several mandatory and voluntary standards related to medical electrical equipment and laser products (listed in point 1 above).
- Substantial Equivalence: The device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices (Lumenis Modified Family of UltraPulse SurgiTouch CO2 Laser Systems (K030147) and Lumenis UltraPulse Encore Carbon Dioxide Laser and Delivery Device Accessories (K022060)) in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and performance. The argument for substantial equivalence is based on the new device having similar design, same indications for use, and similar fundamental scientific technology as the predicates, and that "[n]o new clinical indications are to be provided" by the new device.
- Methodology: The submission states that a "review of the predicate devices... demonstrates that the LaserPro CO2 Carbon Dioxide Laser System... is safe and effective as the predicate devices in conjunction with the specified wavelengths, and are used to perform the same indicated surgical procedures." This "review" would involve comparing the technical specifications, performance data (such as wavelength, power output, safety features), and indications for use of the new device to the cleared predicate devices.
In essence, for this type of medical device (a laser surgical instrument), the "study" is a comprehensive engineering and regulatory assessment demonstrating that the device adheres to established safety profiles, meets relevant performance standards, and is equivalent to other devices already legally on the market for the proposed indications.
