The Sontra Medical Corporation SonoPrep® Ultrasonic Skin Permeation System and The Oollar Tray is indicated for the temporary disruption of the outer layer of skin prior to the application of OTC Topical 4% Lidocaine Cream, for local dermal anesthesia prior to a needle insertion or IV procedure.

Device Description

The SonoPrep® Ultrasonic Skin Permeation System is a portable battery operated reusable device that disrupts the stratum corneum layer of the skin by means of cavitation of a fluid with ultrasonic energy. The result of the treatment allows the rapid onset of topical OTC lidocaine 4%.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state formal acceptance criteria in a quantitative or tabular format. However, based on the study described, the implied performance criterion is the ability to produce a "rapid dermal anesthetic effect" using topical OTC lidocaine 4%, with no significant adverse events or skin irritation.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Produce a rapid dermal anesthetic effect using topical OTC lidocaine 4%.Results demonstrated that the SonoPrep® Ultrasonic Skin Permeation System can produce a rapid dermal anesthetic effect using topical OTC lidocaine 4%.
No adverse events or significant skin irritation due to the treatment.Analysis of clinical observations from 320 subjects taken approximately 24 hours after treatment revealed no adverse events or significant skin irritation due to the treatment.

2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: 320 subjects.
  • Data Provenance: The study was a "randomized, controlled study." The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the FDA in the USA, suggesting the study was likely conducted there or in a location compliant with US regulatory standards. It was a prospective study, as subjects were treated and then their pain and adverse events were assessed.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for Test Set and Qualifications of Experts

The document does not mention the use of experts to establish a "ground truth" for the test set in the traditional sense of diagnostic accuracy. Instead, pain was assessed by the subjects themselves using an "accepted pain evaluation scale." The clinical observations for adverse events were likely made by clinical staff involved in the study, but their number and specific qualifications are not detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method for the test set. Pain scores were self-reported by subjects, and clinical observations for adverse events were analyzed. There's no indication of multiple reviewers or an adjudication process for these outcomes.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The study focused on the effectiveness of the device in facilitating anesthesia, not on human readers' performance with or without AI assistance.

6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done

This question is not applicable as the device is a physical system (SonoPrep® Ultrasonic Skin Permeation System) that is used in conjunction with a topical anesthetic, not a diagnostic algorithm. Therefore, there's no "algorithm only" performance to evaluate.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" in this context is based on:

  • Subjective Patient Outcomes: Pain scores reported by the subjects using an accepted pain evaluation scale.
  • Clinical Observations: Assessment of adverse events and skin irritation by clinical personnel.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not describe a "training set" as this is a medical device for facilitating drug delivery, not a machine learning algorithm requiring training data. The "evaluations" mentioned (Laboratory and bench top) refer to engineering and design verification, not algorithm training.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This question is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8.

510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Continued

Laboratory and bench top evaluations have determined that the Performance Data modifications comply with design requirements and meet or exceed the original design. An IRB approved randomized, controlled study was conducted involving 320 subjects. Full needle insertion of a 23G 5/8" needle was used as a standard pain stimulus. After treatment and needle insertion subjects were asked to rate the pain using an accepted pain evaluation scale; pain scores were tested and analyzed per the approved protocol. Results demonstrated that the SonoPrep® Ultrasonic Skin Permeation System can produce a rapid dermal anesthetic effect using topical OTC lidocaine 4%. Analysis of clinical observations from 320 subjects taken approximately 24 hours after treatment revealed no adverse events or significant skin irritation due to the treatment. Based on the 510(k) summaries and the 510(k) statements (21 CFR Conclusion 807) and the information provided herein, we conclude that the new device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Dear Mr. Farinha:

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 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. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the tray have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your tray. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

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.
