More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The device description focuses on RF energy delivery and tips.

Yes
The device is used for non-invasive treatment of wrinkles/rhytids and for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin, which constitute therapeutic interventions.

No

This device is intended for dermatologic and general surgical procedures, specifically for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids, and for skin ablation and resurfacing. It does not mention diagnosis, disease detection, or measurement of physiological parameters for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes "radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery devices (accessory)" and "Pixel RF Tips," which are hardware components. The intended use also describes a physical procedure involving energy delivery.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use and Indications for Use: The intended use and indications clearly state that the device is for dermatologic and general surgical procedures, specifically for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids, and for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin. These are all procedures performed on the body, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a radiofrequency energy delivery system and tips used for applying energy to the skin. This aligns with a therapeutic or surgical device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Ms. Maynor:

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm11.5809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
