Intended Use

The Dermablate Effect Er:YAG laser with handpiece of larger spot sizes is intended for use for coagulation, vaporization, ablation or cutting of soft tissue (skin) in dermatology, plastic surgery, oral surgery and ophthalmology (skin around the eyes).

The Dermablate Effect Er:YAG laser with fractional handpiece is intended for dermatological and skin resurfacing procedures.

The Dermablate Effect can be equipped optionally with the following modules: Asclepion Pulsed Light (APL) and Acoustic Wave (AW).

The Asclepion Pulsed Light is intended for permanent hair reduction, treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions and inflammatory acne.

The Acoustic Wave is intended for the activation of connective tissue.

Device Description

The Dermablate Effect is a pulsed Er:YAG laser emitting a wavelength of 2940 nm, that can optionally be equipped with a pulsed light module (APL) and an acoustic wave module (AW).

AI/ML Overview

Unfortunately, I cannot directly help you with your request. The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Dermablate Effect). This type of document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.

Key issues preventing me from fulfilling your request are:

  • Absence of Acceptance Criteria and Performance Data: The 510(k) summary explicitly states "Nonclinical Performance Data: None" and for "Clinical Performance Data," it only mentions a "Fractional Er:YAG histological report of Prof. D. Cassuto" without providing any specific criteria, metrics, or measured performance values. This means there's no information about acceptance criteria or how the device's performance was quantitatively evaluated against them.
  • Lack of Detailed Study Information: The brief mention of a "histological report" is not a detailed study description. It doesn't contain the essential information you're asking for, such as sample sizes, data provenance, expert details, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set specifics.
  • Focus on Substantial Equivalence, Not De Novo Performance: The 510(k) process is about demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing devices, not necessarily proving novel performance against a predefined set of acceptance criteria in a detailed clinical trial like a PMA (Pre-Market Approval) submission might require.

To get the information you are looking for regarding acceptance criteria and detailed study data, you would typically need to consult a more comprehensive clinical trial report or a PMA submission for a novel device, rather than a 510(k) summary.

Therefore, I cannot generate the table or answer the specific questions because the necessary data is not present in the provided text.

Dear Mrs. Katzer:

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
