  • Skin resurfacing .
  • Treatment of wrinkles .
  • Epidermal nevi .
  • Telangiectasia .
  • Spider veins ●
  • Actinic chelitis .
  • Keloids .
  • Verrucae .
  • Skin tags .
  • Anal tags .
  • Keratoses .
  • Scar revision (including acne scars) .
  • Debulking benign tumors .
  • Debulking cysts .
  • Superficial skin lesions
Device Description

The Lux2940 handpiece is composed of a system console, cooling system, power supply and handpiece.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Palomar Lux2940 Handpiece indicates that the device's performance was not evaluated through a dedicated study with specific acceptance criteria. Instead, the submission relies on the concept of substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriterionReported Device Performance
Not applicable"The specifications and indications for use of the Lux2940 are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. Thus, do not result in additional safety or effectiveness information."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

Not applicable. No dedicated test set was used for performance evaluation as per the provided summary. The device's performance was established by demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, implying that its performance aligns with those already marketed and deemed safe and effective.


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

Not applicable. No ground truth was established for a test set, as no dedicated performance study was conducted.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. No test set or adjudication was performed.


5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No. The document explicitly states: "The specifications and indications for use of the Lux2940 are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. Thus, [they] do not result in additional safety or effectiveness information." This indicates that a comparative effectiveness study, such as an MRMC study, was not conducted to assess the device's performance or improvement with AI assistance.


6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

No. The device is a "Handpiece" for an Er: YAG laser system, implying it's a hardware component, not a software algorithm. Therefore, a standalone algorithm performance study is not relevant.


7. Type of Ground Truth Used

Not applicable. No ground truth was established for a direct performance assessment of the Lux2940 Handpiece. Its equivalence was based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to legally marketed predicate devices.


8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. The device is a hardware component (laser handpiece), not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.


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

Not applicable. As above, no training set was used.


Summary of Acceptance Criteria and Study Approach:

The regulatory submission for the Palomar Lux2940 Handpiece primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already approved predicate devices rather than presenting a performance study with specific acceptance criteria and detailed quantitative results. The core argument is that the Lux2940 Handpiece shares sufficiently similar technological characteristics and intended uses with existing devices (Friendly Light, Contour Profile, Harmony Lovely II, Dermablate) that its safety and effectiveness can be inferred. This approach is common for Class II medical devices seeking 510(k) clearance, where a de novo approval or a Premarket Approval (PMA) requiring extensive clinical trials is not deemed necessary.

Dear Ms. Timberlake:

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. 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Page 2 - Ms. Sharon Timberlake, RAC, CCRA

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
