Intended Use

The SkinStation is intended to provide phototherapeutic light to the body and is generally indicated to treat dermatological conditions. The SkinStation is specifically indicated for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI.

Device Description

The Skin Station that is the subject of this 510(k) notice is the exact same device as the cleared Skin Station except for the addition of a light unit assembly specifically for hair removal in Fitzpatrick Skin Types V and VI.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Radiancy SkinStation Photoepilation System with Modified Light Unit Assembly for Hair Removal. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for a specific medical device. It does not include details about acceptance criteria, study designs, sample sizes for training or test sets, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment in the manner typically associated with AI/ML device evaluations.

Therefore, most of the requested information cannot be extracted from this document because it describes a traditional medical device (a light-based hair removal system) and its regulatory submission, not a software as a medical device (SaMD) or an AI/ML-powered device. The study mentioned is a clinical data study to show the device's effectiveness for hair removal in specific skin types, not an "AI evaluation study."

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the provided text:


1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

This information is typically found in the clinical study results section of a 510(k) submission when performance metrics are explicitly defined. The provided summary states: "Clinical data demonstrates that the Radiancy SkinStation removes unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types V-VI with only minor side effects."
However, it does not state specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., "X% hair reduction required") or detailed performance metrics.

Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated as such, but inferred goal)Reported Device Performance
Effective removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types V-VIClinical data demonstrates that the Radiancy SkinStation removes unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types V-VI
Only minor side effectsClinical data demonstrates "only minor side effects"

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the provided summary.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified in the provided summary.
  • Retrospective or Prospective: Not specified in the provided summary, but clinical trials for device approval are typically prospective.

3. 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):

This question is not applicable to this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for a hair removal device is the actual hair reduction observed clinically, assessed by practitioners and potentially by patients, not by experts establishing a categorical ground truth like in AI/ML image analysis. No details about "experts" establishing ground truth are provided.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

Not applicable. This concept is relevant for AI/ML studies where multiple human readers review cases to establish a consensus ground truth. For a hair removal device, performance is typically assessed by clinical observation of hair reduction and adverse events.

5. 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 an AI/ML specific study type. The device is a direct treatment device, not an AI assistant for human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This device is a hardware-based system. "Standalone" performance generally refers to an algorithm's performance without human interaction, which doesn't fit a physical light-based hair removal system.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

Based on the context of a hair removal device, the "ground truth" would implicitly be outcomes data related to hair reduction and adverse events observed clinically.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This device does not use a "training set" in the context of AI/ML.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable. This device does not use a "training set" in the context of AI/ML.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SkinStation is intended to provide phototherapeutic light to the body and is generally indicated to treat dermatological conditions. The SkinStation is specifically indicated for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI.

Technological Characteristics

The Skin Station that is the subject of this 510(k) notice is the exact same device as the cleared Skin Station except for the addition of a light unit assembly specifically for hair removal in Fitzpatrick Skin Types V and VI.

Substantial Equivalence

The Radiancy SkinStation, as modified, has the same intended use and very similar indications for use, principles of operation and technological characteristics as the cleared Radiancy SkinStation, and with the AesThera Corporation Model AIP, Medical Bio Care Sweden AB. ProLite, and the Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., StarLux. The minor difference between the Radiancy SkinStation and the predicates do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. Clinical data demonstrates that the Radiancy SkinStation removes unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types V-VI with only minor side effects. Thus, the Radiancy SkinStation are substantially equivalent.
