AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Alma Lasers Accent™ device. It describes the device, its intended use, and claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain specific acceptance criteria or the details of a study demonstrating the device meets such criteria in terms of quantitative performance metrics.

The provided text states:

  • "Clinical information was provided to demonstrate safety and effectiveness."
  • "Clinical information demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the Alma Lasers Accent™ device for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids was provided."

This suggests a clinical study was performed, but the details of that study, including acceptance criteria and reported performance, are not present in this 510(k) summary. FDA 510(k) summaries often only provide a high-level overview.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions below with the provided information.


Based on the provided text, the following information is NOT available:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance.
  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts.
  • Adjudication method for the test set.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size.
  • If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc).
  • The sample size for the training set.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established.

The document primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" to existing predicate devices for regulatory clearance, rather than presenting a detailed performance study with quantitative acceptance criteria.
