The document describes a medical device that uses radiofrequency and infrared light for skin treatments. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on the physical mechanisms of action (ablation, resurfacing, bulk heating) and clinical outcomes based on traditional assessments.
Yes
The device is used for dermatological procedures, specifically for the treatment of facial wrinkles and skin resurfacing, which are considered therapeutic applications aimed at correcting or improving a medical condition (wrinkles, skin texture).
No
The device is described as a "Skin Treatment System" performing dermatological procedures like ablation, resurfacing, and wrinkle treatment, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components (applicators delivering RF and IR energy) and their physical interaction with the skin for treatment. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin, and for the treatment of facial wrinkles." This describes a therapeutic or aesthetic procedure performed directly on the patient's skin.
- Device Description: The device description details how the applicators deliver energy (radiofrequency and infrared light) to the skin to cause heating and affect tissue. This is a physical intervention on the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
The device is clearly designed for direct treatment of the skin, not for analyzing samples from the body.

Device Description
The eTwo Skin Treatment System is a mobile system combining two existing technologies and applications for dermatological procedures.
The Sublative RF applicator delivers bipolar radiofrequency (RF) to the skin surface via an array of multi-electrode pin tips. The applicator delivers bipolar RF energy to the skin, which results in heating of demarcated spots of skin to temperatures that result in ablation and resurfacing of the skin that comes in contact with the multi-electrode pins.
The Sublime applicator uses a combination of an infrared (IR) light source and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) to bulk heat the dermis and affect dermal collagen in order to treat wrinkles. The bulk heating of the dermal layers refers to the gradual and gentle accumulation of heat with each additional pass performed.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The eTwo Skin Treatment System is intended for dermatological procedures.
The Sublative RF applicator is indicated for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin, and for the treatment of facial wrinkles. At higher energy levels greater than 62 mJ/pin, the Sublative RF applicator is limited to skin types I-IV.

The Sublime applicator is indicated for non-invasive wrinkles treatment. At higher energy levels greater than 100 J/cm², the Sublime applicator is limited to skin types I-IV.
Device Description
The eTwo Skin Treatment System is a mobile system combining two existing technologies and applications for dermatological procedures.
The Sublative RF applicator delivers bipolar radiofrequency (RF) to the skin surface via an array of multi-electrode pin tips. The applicator delivers bipolar RF energy to the skin, which results in heating of demarcated spots of skin to temperatures that result in ablation and resurfacing of the skin that comes in contact with the multi-electrode pins.
The Sublime applicator uses a combination of an infrared (IR) light source and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) to bulk heat the dermis and affect dermal collagen in order to treat wrinkles. The bulk heating of the dermal layers refers to the gradual and gentle accumulation of heat with each additional pass performed.
Technological Characteristics
The eTwo System has generally the same technological characteristics as cleared in the predicate eTwo System, including device design, material, and energy source, except the subject eTwo System includes an additional 44-pin electrode tip and allows for higher RF energy levels to be delivered. The Sublime applicators of the eTwo Systems provide IR light and RF energy to the treatment area, whereas the non-ablative applicator of the EndyMed predicate provides RF energy only. The ablative applicators of the eTwo System and its predicates deliver RF energy to the treatment area. The hardware of the subject eTwo remains the same as previously cleared in the prior iteration of the device system.
Performance Data
Software
Software verification and validation was performed to evaluate the minor software changes made to support the increase in RF energy for the Sublime and Sublative RF applicators and to support the additional tip configuration (44 pin). Results showed that the Sublime and Sublative RF applicators with the eTwo Skin Treatment System function as intended.
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility
The eTwo System has been evaluated for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety testing per applicable standards of IEC 60601-1-2 and 60601-1, and all results were passing.
5
Histological Evaluations
Histological evaluation of skin tissues treated with the Sublime and Sublative applicators examined the impact of each applicator on skin tissue under the treated area, and demonstrated that the device performs as intended.
Sterilization Validation
Sterilization validation study results demonstrated that the sterilization method for the eTwo System continues to provide a minimum sterility assurance level of 10°, including for the additional 44-pin tip.
Clinical Study
In addition, the eTwo System treatment was evaluated in a prospective multi-center clinical study of 72 subjects through 24 weeks of follow up after the end of treatment. Four follow up visits (1 week, 6 weeks, 12 weeks after treatment) were scheduled for subjects receiving 1 treatment session, and five follow up visits (1 week, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, and 30 weeks after first treatment) were scheduled for subjects receiving 2 treatment sessions. The study evaluated the higher energy levels and the additional 44-pin tip of the subject eTwo System through assessments by blinded evaluators, investigators, and subjects. Subjects' results at each follow up visit were compared to baseline to determine the amount of improvement with treatment. The primary endpoint of the study was to evaluate the reduction in wrinkles in the treated areas at 12 weeks following the last treatment session compared to baseline, based on photographic assessments by three independent blinded evaluators using the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (Degree of Elastosis categorized from class I (mild) to class The study also evaluated the safety of the treatment and recorded the III (severe)). number and type of any adverse event during the study. Additional assessments included the Global Aesthetic Improvement scale and patient satisfaction.
The majority of the enrolled population was female, Caucasian, with Fitzpatrick skin type II or III. Mean age was 49 years. The study population presented to the study with a range in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis scores and skin quality.
The pivotal study of the eTwo System demonstrated that device treatment achieves wrinkle reduction under the proposed parameters for a majority (71%) of the study subjects, meeting the primary study endpoint for effectiveness (50%). Results of secondary endpoint analyses showed improvement in wrinkles as observed in blinded evaluation, by investigators, and as perceived by subjects themselves over time. At the primary endpoint visit (12 weeks post treatment end), investigator assessments determined that 77% of the subjects were rated as improved from baseline (i.e., at least 1 unit improvement in Fitzpatrick Scale) and 91% of the subjects showed an overall improvement in facial appearance, further confirming the favorable results reported in
6
blinded evaluation. In addition, high levels of patient satisfaction were reported by the subjects, where the majority of subjects (≥63%) reported being satisfied or very satisfied with treatment throughout follow up. Treatment-associated discomfort or pain immediately following treatment generally resolved within a week.
At the proposed higher RF energy levels and with the additional 44-pin tip, the eTwo treatment continued to demonstrate a favorable safety profile with 6.9% (5/72 subjects) device-related adverse events throughout the study. All of the device-related adverse events were mild to moderate, and each event completely resolved during the study (most resolved within a few hours or days). There were or serious adverse events in the study and no subjects discontinued from the study due to adverse events. A few subjects reported hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation following treatment, which were also recognized as treatment-associated responses. In total, 11 subjects reported any changes in pigmentation or texture. Of these subjects, the events resolved for 6 subjects (most within a few days). For the remaining 5 subjects, results showed that the noted event was not associated with a negative clinical impact on the patient. Therefore, the clinical study data demonstrate that the eTwo System performs as intended with a favorable safety and effectiveness profile.
Substantial Equivalence
The eTwo System has the same intended use as the predicate devices. The eTwo System indications for use are the same as the predicate eTwo device, and similar to those of the EndyMed Glow predicate. The eTwo System presents similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The key technological differences between the current and predicate eTwo Systems are in terms of the increased RF energy level and the addition of an electrode pin tip size. The proposed eTwo treatment parameters have been evaluated in clinical testing, and results demonstrate that the device continues to perform as intended. The EndyMed predicate similarly presents higher levels of RF energy. Although the EndyMed device differs in terms of the energy type delivered (RF only) compared to the eTwo Systems (RF only and IR combined with RF), this difference does not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions given that the predicate eTwo utilizes the same combination of energies. Further, the underlying mechanisms of all three devices are consistent to achieve the same intended therapeutic effect for wrinkles treatment. Therefore, the eTwo System has satisfied the criteria for substantial equivalence.
Conclusions
Syneron's eTwo System has been evaluated in nonclinical testing, and results demonstrated the device performance is appropriate for its intended use. The eTwo System presents the same intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. Therefore, the eTwo System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
