The LightStim Professional 2-Panel Light System has two (2) interchangeable 2-Panel LED Systems, each mounted on a hands-free, fully articulating arms:
System #1- emitting energy in the visible and IR spectrums intended for use in the treatment of full-face wrinkles.
System #2 - emitting energy in the visible and IR spectrum intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for a temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain or muscle spasm, the temporary increase in local blood circulation, and the temporary relaxation of muscles.
The LightStim Professional 2-Panel Light System is a portable device that has two (2) separate interchangeable 2-panel treatment heads, each containing 1,130 LEDs. Each treatment heads is attached to a fully retractable and articulating arm with a 42″ reach. Either one of these arms can be attached to the rolling stand for use. There is an on/off switch, and an AC to DC power supply.
The LightStim 2-Panel Light System is intended to be operated only by a person who has been personally trained by Company personnel. Each device includes a detailed Instruction Manual and includes one-on-one training and instruction by Company training staff. That training includes a thorough review of the Instruction Manual for the device and actual one-on-one training on the operation of the device with the end user.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the LightStim Professional 2-Panel Light System. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study.
Therefore, many of the requested sections (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable or not available in this type of submission.
Here's a breakdown based on the information provided:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
- Not applicable. This submission doesn't present specific performance metrics or acceptance criteria for clinical effectiveness because it's a substantial equivalence filing. The FDA's 510(k) clearance process for this device relies on demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use and technological characteristics as a legally marketed predicate device, and raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Not applicable / Not provided. No clinical test set or data provenance is detailed for demonstrating performance against acceptance criteria. The submission focuses on comparing the new device's technical specifications to predicate devices.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
- Not applicable / Not provided. No clinical ground truth establishment is described.
4. Adjudication Method:
- Not applicable / Not provided. No adjudication method is described as there is no clinical test set requiring ground truth adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, Effect Size of Human Improvement with vs. without AI:
- Not applicable. This device is a light therapy system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance comparisons are irrelevant to this submission.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study was done:
- Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Not applicable. No ground truth data is presented as it's not a diagnostic device or a study involving clinical outcomes for proving novel effectiveness.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
- Not applicable. No training set ground truth to establish.
What the Study (510(k) Submission) Does Prove:
The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence by:
- Device Description:
- The LightStim Professional 2-Panel Light System has two interchangeable 2-panel LED systems, each with 1,130 LEDs, mounted on articulating arms.
- It includes an on/off switch and an AC to DC power supply.
- It is intended to be operated by a person trained by company personnel.
- Intended Use / Indications for Use:
- System #1: Emits energy in the visible and IR spectrums for the treatment of full-face wrinkles.
- System #2: Emits energy in the visible and IR spectrums for topical heating to temporarily relieve minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain or muscle spasm, temporarily increase local blood circulation, and temporarily relax muscles.
- Technological Characteristics Comparison with Predicate Devices:
- The submission explicitly states that the LightStim Professional 2-Panel Light System has the exact same intended use as the predicate devices (LED Intellectual Properties Light for Wrinkles (K092800), LightStim for Wrinkles (K120775), and Pain Therapy Light (K083580)).
- Crucially, it states that "the predicate devices and the LightStim Professional 2-Panel Light System are all manufactured by the same LED Intellectual Properties, LLC, and they all utilize the exact same LED parts, with the same engineering and same output." This is the primary "proof" for substantial equivalence.
- Performance Testing (Safety):
- The device "results in patient contact with an electrically powered component" and includes an electronic component, therefore it was tested according to:
- 60601-1: Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance.
- 60601-1-2: Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety and Essential Performance (for electromagnetic compatibility).
- The implication is that these tests demonstrate the device meets accepted safety standards for electrical medical equipment, in line with the predicate devices.
- The device "results in patient contact with an electrically powered component" and includes an electronic component, therefore it was tested according to:
Conclusion of the Submission:
Based on the analysis of safety, indications, intended uses, performance, and technological properties, the submitter concludes that the LightStim Professional 2-Panel Light System raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness and has been found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
