Intended Use

The Nive for Wrinkles is an Over-the-Counter (OTC) device intended for the use in treating full-face wrinkles.

Device Description

The Nüve for Wrinkles is an over-the-counter hand-held light emitting diode (LED) device that emits energy for use in dermatology for the treatment of wrinkles and fine lines. The device uses four types of LEDs : 605nm amber, 630nm red, 660nm red, and 880nm infrared. The treatment time is controlled by the user. There are no user settings or adiustments required.

The Nuve for Wrinkles system components include the handheld unit containing the LED module , power supply, goggles, and travel case.

The unit is applied directly to the skin to ensure consistent administration of light during each treatment. The device does not contain any user serviceable components. The device is sold as Over the Counter (OTC).

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the NUVE FOR WRINKLES device. It outlines the device description, indications for use, comparison to predicate devices, and performance testing. However, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria for performance metrics (such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, etc.) related to its effectiveness in treating wrinkles, nor does it detail a clinical study with a control group or comparative effectiveness against human readers.

The performance testing section focuses on safety, functional performance, software validation, and usability, rather than clinical efficacy measured against specific criteria.

Therefore, many of the requested information points, especially those pertaining to clinical efficacy, ground truth, expert adjudication, and MRMC studies, cannot be extracted from this document as they are not present.

Here's the information that can be extracted, and where applicable, a note stating that the information is not available in the provided document:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated for clinical efficacy)Reported Device Performance (Focus on safety, usability, and functionality)
Safe operation (implicitly, from standards compliance)Conforms to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-10, IEC 60825-1 (Safety and electrical standards)
Functional performance (not specified beyond "performs as intended")Not explicitly quantified; "system performs as intended" is stated.
Software validation (implicitly, from guidance compliance)Tested and validated in accordance with FDA guidance for software in medical devices.
User ability to demonstrate light sensitivity test100% of participants were able to demonstrate the light sensitivity test.
User ability to use the device successfully100% of participants were able to use the device successfully.
Substantial equivalence to predicate devices (regarding indications, output, wavelengths, treatment duration, and regimen)Same intended use, similar output (65 mW/cm²), same number of wavelengths (4 between 605 nm - 880 nm), same treatment duration (180 seconds), same treatment regimen (5 days/week for 8 weeks) as predicate devices.

Study Details

  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • A "Usability Study" was conducted with 38 participants.
    • The document does not specify the provenance of these participants (e.g., country of origin). It's a usability study, not a clinical efficacy study with data related to wrinkle reduction.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable as this was a usability study demonstrating the ability of participants to use the device and demonstrate a light sensitivity test, not a study establishing ground truth for clinical efficacy of wrinkle reduction.
  • Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. The usability study evaluated user interaction, not clinical outcomes requiring adjudication.
  • 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:

    • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a light-emitting diode (LED) device for wrinkle reduction, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool involving human readers.
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its physical operation and user interaction, not an AI algorithm.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • For the usability study, the "ground truth" was whether participants could successfully perform a light sensitivity test and use the device. This is a direct observation of user interaction, not a medical "ground truth" like pathology or expert consensus on disease.
    • For efficacy, the document does not present clinical trial data with defined ground truth for wrinkle reduction. The claim of effectiveness is based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices which presumably had such data in their original submissions.
  • The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This document is for a hardware device, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable for the reason above.

Summary of the technological characteristics of the device compared to predicate devices:

  1. Has the same intended use as the predicate devices (i.e., treatment of full-face wrinkles;

  2. Has the similar output (i.e., 65 mW/cm2 ) as the predicate devices;

  3. Utilizes the same number of wavelengths (i.e., 4 wavelengths between 605 nm- 880 nm) as the predicate devices:

  4. Utilizes the same treatment duration (i.e., 180 seconds) as the predicate devices;

  5. Utilizes the same treatment regimen of five days a week for eight weeks.

The NUVE for Wrinkles device and the above referenced predicate devices are Over the Counter Devices used to treat wrinkles as defined in 21 CFR § 878.4810. These devices utilize red and IR diodes between 605nm to 880 nm to provide narrow bands of light energy to treat wrinkles. The performance achieved by these devices is similar with equal power output. The devices are handheld, and intended to be placed directly on the skin. They are manufactured out of similar materials. Based upon comparison to the predicate devices, the NUVE for Wrinkles device has the same intended uses, with similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. The system performs as intended and does not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues.

{6}------------------------------------------------

6. Performance Testing and Standards:

Testing of the Nuve for Wrinkles included functional performance testing, software validation testing and user safety testing.

Safety and functionality testing demonstrates that the Nuve for Wrinkles conforms to various international consensus standards:

IEC 60601-1: (2006): Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance.
