No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts, and the device description and performance studies focus on hardware and aging studies, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is described as a "non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to: lift the eyebrow," indicating it is for cosmetic purposes rather than treating a medical condition.

No
The Ulthera® System is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to lift the eyebrow, which is a treatment/therapy, not a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components: Ulthera® Control Unit, Handpiece, and Transducers.

Based on the provided information, the Ulthera® System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is described as a "non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to: lift the eyebrow." This is a treatment performed directly on the patient's body, not on a sample of biological material taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The components listed (Control Unit, Handpiece, Transducers) are consistent with a device used for external treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no mention of diagnosing a condition based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Ulthera® System's function is to provide an aesthetic treatment directly to the patient.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

An accelerated aging study (per ASTM Standard F 1980 (2011)) was conducted to support the shelf life extension of the Ulthera® System Transducers from six months to one year. The results from the tests demonstrate that the technological characteristics and performance criteria of the subject device is comparable to the predicate device.

Indications for Use:

The Ulthera" System is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to:

. lift the eyebrow

Description of Change:

The proposed change is to extend the current six-month shelf life period to a twelve-month shelf life period for the Ulthera® System Transducers.

Performance Data:

An accelerated aging study (per ASTM Standard F 1980 (2011)) was conducted to support the shelf life extension of the Ulthera® System Transducers from six months to one year. The results from the tests demonstrate that the technological characteristics and performance criteria of the subject device is comparable to the predicate device.

Conclusion:

Based on the design, materials, principle of operation, and intended use, the Ulthera® System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate i device. The Ulthera System Transducers met the predetermined acceptance criteria identified in the performance testing protocol. The results of the twelve-month shelf life study demonstrate that changing the current six-month shelf life period to a twelve-month shelf life period will have no detrimental effect on transducer Therefore, the predicate device is functionality, patient safety or efficacy. substantially equivalent to the subject device.
