Device Description

The Dermatologic Treatment Systems (DTS) device family and optional hand pieces, including Intensive Pulse Light (IPL) Infrared light (IR) and Laser light technologies for dermatological treatments by delivery of energy to the human skin. The device family is a modification to the BeaMax/ ForMax family (K082876), pulsed light energy device based on a filtered, Xenon flashlamp.

The DTS device family modification enhances capabilities of the legally cleared Beamax/ Formax device family by adding new hand pieces that are now supporting Laser and IR technologies as well as the IPL technology.

The Basic unit is a platform system, designed to support all treatment technologies hand pieces (i.e. IPL, IR and Laser).

The embedded software is the heart of the control system which provides a control of all of the parameters to the relevant hand piece, where the operator has the access to modify some parameters via the touch screen and every hand piece has its own operating screen.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (K111303). It describes the device, its intended use, and claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria, as requested in your prompt, is not present in this document.

This 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices rather than providing a performance study with defined acceptance criteria and statistical analysis. The "Safety & Effectiveness" section states that "Based on the performance results provided (including test results and clinical data) and the analysis of similarities and differences presented above, SharpLight Technologies Ltd. believes that the proposed device family safe & effectiveness is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices without raising new safety and/or effectiveness issues." This implies that the performance data exists elsewhere (likely in the full 510(k) submission not fully provided here), but the summary itself does not detail specific acceptance criteria or the study that demonstrates compliance.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about sample size, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details because this information is not included in the provided text.

The information that is available related to this device's performance claim is:

  • Claim of Substantial Equivalence: The manufacturer asserts that the device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices based on similarities in intended use, indications, technology, performance, and specifications.
  • Wider Indications: The device family has "wider indications for use," enhancing its capability compared to predicate devices that support only partial treatments.
  • General Performance Statement: The statement "Based on the performance results provided (including test results and clinical data)" indicates that some form of performance evaluation was conducted and submitted as part of the full 510(k) application, but the specifics are not detailed in this summary.

Conclusion: The provided 510(k) summary (K111303) does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria and the comprehensive study information required to answer your specific questions. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence rather than presenting a performance study with explicit acceptance metrics.
