Intended Use

The Cutera Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers is intended for use in surgical and aesthetic applications in the medical specialties of dermatology and general and plastic surgery.

755 nm:
The Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers is indicated for temporary and permanent hair reduction on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin. Permanent hair reduction is defined as long-term, stable reduction in hair counts observed at 6, 9, and 12 months after the end of a treatment regime. The Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers is also indicated for:
O treatment of benign pigmented lesions
O treatment of wrinkles
O photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions such as, but not limited to, port wine stains, hemangiomas and telangiectasias

1064 nm:
Dermatology:
The Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers is intended for the coagulation and hemostasis of benign vascular lesions such as, but not limited to, port wine stains, hemangiomas, warts, telangiectasias, rosacea, venus lake, leg veins, spider veins and poikiloderma of civatte; and treatment of benign cutaneous lesions such as, but not limited to, warts, scars, striae and psoriasis. The lasers are also intended for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), café au lait macules, seborrheic keratoses, nevi, chloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratoses, tattoos (significant reduction in the intensity of black and/or blue/black tattoos) and plaques. Additionally, the lasers are indicated for pigmented lesion size, for patients with lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments.
The CoolGlide lasers are also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles.
The CoolGlide lasers are indicated for temporary and permanent hair reduction. Permanent hair reduction is defined as long-term, stable reduction in hair counts observed at 6, 9, and 12 months after the end of a treatment regime.
The CoolGlide lasers are also indicated for the treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae (FFB).
The lasers are also indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar.
The CoolGlide lasers are indicated for use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.
The intended use of the integral cooling system in the CoolGlide laser handpiece is to provide cooling of the skin prior to laser treatment, for the reduction of pain during laser treatment, to allow for the use of higher fluences for laser treatments such as hair removal and vascular lesions, and to reduce the potential side effects of laser treatments.

Surgical Applications:
The lasers are indicated for the incision and cutting, ablation, coagulation/hemostasis of soft tissue in the performance of surgical applications in endoscopy/laparoscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery, head and neck/otorhinolaryngology (ENT), neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pulmonary/thoracic surgery, gynecology (e.g. menorrhagia) and urology.

532 nm:
For coagulation and hemostasis of vascular and cutaneous lesions in dermatology including, but not limited to, the following general categories: vascular lesions [angiomas, hemangiomas (port wine), telangiectasia (facial or extremities telangiectasias, venous anomalies, leg veins)); benign pigmented lesings [nevi, lentigines, chloasma, café-au-lait, tattoos (red and green ink)]; verrucae; skin tags; keratoses; plaques; cutaneous lesion treatment (hemostasis, color lightening, flattening, reduction of lesion size).

Optional Pulsed Light Handpiece:
For the treatment of benign pigmented lesions.

Device Description

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Summary for the Cutera Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers, aiming to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not to prove that the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study with detailed performance metrics. The submission focuses on technical specification comparisons and indications for use.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, clinical study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment are not present in this document. The document explicitly states "Results of Clinical Study: None."

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is missing:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding reported device performance metrics in the way one would expect from a clinical trial. Instead, it offers a "Technical Specification Comparison" against predicate devices to demonstrate equivalence, not a direct measurement against predefined acceptance thresholds for clinical efficacy.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample size for test set: Not applicable and not provided. The submission states, "Results of Clinical Study: None." The assessment is based on technical specifications and comparison to predicate devices, not a clinical test set.
  • Data provenance: Not applicable.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable as no clinical study defining a test set or ground truth was conducted for this 510(k) submission.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable as no clinical study or test set requiring adjudication was conducted.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable and not provided. This is a laser device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, and no MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable and not provided. This device is a physical laser system, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable as no clinical study or ground truth establishment was conducted. The "truth" for this submission is the established performance and indications of the legally marketed predicate devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable and not provided. No machine learning or an algorithm requiring a training set is described in this submission.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable as no training set or ground truth for such a set was established.

Summary of the Study (as described in the document):

The "study" presented here is a technical and regulatory comparison rather than a traditional clinical study. The manufacturer, Cutera, Inc., submitted a 510(k) Premarket Notification to demonstrate that their "Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers" is substantially equivalent to two legally marketed predicate devices:

  1. Family of Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers with Optional Pulsed Light Handpiece (K023954)
  2. Candela GentleMAX Family of Laser Systems (K112715)

The equivalence is based on:

  • Performance Testing Results: While not detailed in this summary, the document mentions "performance testing results" in its conclusion. These likely refer to engineering and functional tests to confirm the device operates according to its specifications, rather than clinical efficacy trials.
  • Comparison of Technical Specifications: A detailed table comparing wavelengths, fluence, pulse duration, spot size, output mode, repetition rate, laser media, user interface, aiming beam, delivery devices, and skin cooling methods between the new device and the predicates.
  • Comparison of Intended Uses and Indications for Use: The new device's indications for use were shown to be similar to or a superset of those of the predicate devices.

Conclusion stated in the document:
"Based on performance testing results and a comparison of technical specifications, intended uses and indications for use, the Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the Family of Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers with Optional Pulsed Light Handpiece (K023954) and to the Candela GentleMAX Family of Laser Systems (K112715)."
