The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification from the FDA for a medical device called "Alma Harmony Lite." This type of document is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not typically for reporting on a new device's acceptance criteria and related studies in the same way one would find for a novel device.
The "study" described here is primarily a comparative study against previously cleared (predicate) devices to establish substantial equivalence. It's not a study proving novel acceptance criteria for the new device itself, but rather demonstrating that the new device meets the performance and safety profiles of the predicate devices.
Therefore, the information you've requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria is framed within the context of establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than an independent validation against pre-defined, standalone acceptance thresholds for a novel device.
Here's the breakdown of the information based on the provided text, interpreted in the context of a 510(k) submission:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
In a 510(k) submission, "acceptance criteria" are implicitly derived from the technical characteristics and indications for use of the predicate devices. The "reported device performance" is the characteristics of the new device that are being demonstrated to be substantially equivalent.

Note on Acceptance Criteria: For a 510(k), the primary "acceptance criterion" is proving substantial equivalence to a predicate device in terms of indications for use, technological characteristics, and safety/effectiveness. The table above reflects this comparison, rather than an independent performance metric set for a novel device.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document explicitly states:
- "Collateral animal data was presented on a pig study performed at the University of California for the Dye VL Pro handpiece."
- This study compared results from IPL experiments to acquired pulsed dye laser (PDL) data from a previous study.
- It does not specify the sample size (number of pigs or specific test cases) used for this study.
- Data Provenance: The study was performed at the University of California. The nature of the study (comparing IPL results to previous PDL data) suggests it's a prospective animal study for the IPL component, with historical (presumably retrospective) data used for comparison.
For other handpieces/modules: The submission primarily relies on comparing the technical characteristics and indications for use of the new device (Alma Harmony Lite) to those of the predicate devices (K072564 Alma Harmony XL Platform, K140009 The Modified Alma Lasers Soprano XL Family of Multi-Application and Multi-Technology Platforms). This implies that efficacy and safety for these other components are covered by the established profile of the predicate devices, rather than new human or animal test data being presented for every component.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
The document does not mention human experts establishing ground truth for the animal study or any clinical test set. The animal study compares physiological effects (vascular shutdown) to previously acquired data. For the 510(k), equivalence is established by comparing technical specifications and intended uses, which does not typically involve human expert adjudication of a test set in the same way an AI diagnostic device would.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as there is no mention of a clinical or expert-adjudicated test set in the conventional sense for the Alma Harmony Lite's submission. The pig study's "ground truth" was likely derived from objective physiological measurements and comparison to historical data.
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. The Alma Harmony Lite is a laser and light-based aesthetic/surgical platform, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging device that would involve human "readers" or an "AI assistance" component in an MRMC study.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm, but a physical medical device (laser/light platform).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the animal study on the Dye VL Pro handpiece:
"Ground truth" was established by physiological observations (persistent vascular shutdown) in pigs and comparison to previously acquired pulsed dye laser (PDL) data, which would have its own established ground truth for efficacy. The methodology ("Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the relationship between absorbed energy, wavelength, and penetration depth") indicates a biophysical basis for evaluating the treatment effect.
For the substantial equivalence of the other modules, the "ground truth" is the established safety and efficacy profile of the predicate devices (K072564 and K140009), based on their previously approved indications and technical characteristics.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a hardware device (laser/light platform), not an AI algorithm that requires a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI algorithm.

VII. Safety and Effectiveness Information
The review of the indications for use and technical characteristics provided demonstrates that the Alma Lasers Harmony Lite Multi-Application Platform is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Additional safety testing was performed as discussed in section 18 of the submission.
The Alma Harmony Lite was tested by a certified laboratory in accordance with:
IEC 60601-1:2005 + Corr.1 (2006) + Corr. 2 (2007) Medical Electrical Equipment: Part 1 General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance
{12}------------------------------------------------
IEC60601-1-2: 2007 Medical electrical equipment: Part 1-2; Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests
IEC 60601-2-57: 2011 1st edition" Medical electrical equipment: Part 2: Particular requirements for the basis safety and essential performance of non-laser light source equipment intended for therapeutic, diagnostic, monitoring and cosmetic/aesthetic use
The software was documented, verified and validated (test reports in submission) in accordance with IEC 62304:2006 - Medical Device Software: Software Life Cycle Processes and ISO 14971:2012 - Medical Devices: Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices.
VIII. Animal Data
Collateral animal data was presented on a pig study performed at the University of California for the Dye VL Pro handpiece. We compared the results from our IPL experiments to acquired pulsed dye laser (PDL) data from a previous study and determined that IPL treatments can also produce persistent vascular shutdown. We ran Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the relationship between absorbed energy, wavelength, and penetration depth. The data collectively demonstrate the potential to achieve removal of vascular lesions using the IPL.
IX. Conclusion
The Alma Lasers Harmony Lite Multi-Application Platform was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
The Alma Lasers Harmony Lite Multi-Application Platform shares the same or similar indications for use, similar design features, and functional features with, and thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.
(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
