Intended Use

The miraDry System MD4000 is indicated for use in the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis plus unwanted underarm hair removal, and permanent reduction of underarm hair of all colors for Fitzpatrick skin types I - IV.

Permanent hair reduction is defined as long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs reasured at 6. 9 and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.

Device Description

The miraDry System MD4000 is a microwave device designed to heat tissue located at the dermal- hypodermal interface where the axillary sweat glands and hair bulbs reside using a surface contact applicator. The miraDry System MD4000 consists of: the MD4000-MC Console; the MD4000-HP miraDry Handpiece; and a disposable, sterile MD4000-BT miraDry bioTip that snaps onto the Handpiece to provide a sterile protective cover.

As described in K131162, the miraDry System MD4000 also includes Class I components/accessories. The MD4000-TS template system is a required component for the miraDry treatment as well as the MD4000-PK priming kit. The MD4000-PK priming kit is required when the system is initially set up at a user facility. Optional accessories include an armrest and disposable ice packs.

The MD4000-MC Console is a software-driven device which contains circuit boards, a microwave generator, integrated vacuum and cooling systems, and an integrated touch-screen user interface.

The non-invasive miraDry Handpiece is specifically designed to deliver microwave energy to the skin at specified frequency and power levels. The proximal end of the Handpiece has a cable bundle and a console connector that supplies the energy and cooling to the Handpiece. The distal end has a sterile, disposable barrier, the miraDry bioTip, which contacts the patient.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study detailed in the provided document, restructured to address your specific points:

The document describes the Miramar Labs miraDry System MD4000, which has an expanded indication for underarm hair removal in addition to primary axillary hyperhidrosis treatment. The information below focuses on the hair removal aspect.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance (Hair Reduction)
Primary Endpoint: >30% reduction (baseline to 3 months, measured by hair counts) in >50% of subjects.88.1% (37/42) of subjects showed >30% hair reduction at 3 months (lower 95% CL: 76.6%). This met the criterion.
Secondary Endpoint: >30% reduction (comparing baseline to 12 months photos) to make a claim for permanent axillary hair reduction.95.5% (42/44) of subjects showed >30% hair reduction at 12 months (lower 95% CL: 86.4%). This met the criterion.
Average Reduction:
- 3 months: 66% (± 30%)
- 6 months: 72% (± 29%)
- 9 months: 75% (± 28%)
- 12 months: 75% (± 27%)
Side-by-side axilla review:
- 3 months: 74% of pairs had at least 26-50% reduction
- 6 months: 78% of pairs had at least 26-50% reduction
- 9 months: 78% of pairs had at least 26-50% reduction
- 12 months: 89% of pairs had at least 26-50% reduction
Patient satisfaction with hair reduction (rating "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied"):
- 3 months: 81%
- 6 months: 70%
- 9 months: 68%
- 12 months: 70%

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: 56 subjects were enrolled.
    • For the primary endpoint (3-month hair count): 42 subjects were assessable.
    • For the secondary endpoint (12-month hair count): 44 subjects were assessable.
  • Data Provenance: The study was conducted at three private dermatology clinics in the United States. It was a prospective clinical trial, initiated in September 2012.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • The document states that an "independent physician reviewer" conducted a blinded comparison of baseline to follow-up full-axilla photos to score hair reduction.
  • The specific number of independent physician reviewers is not explicitly stated (e.g., "an independent physician reviewer" could imply one, or a panel reviewed by one lead).
  • The qualifications of the independent physician reviewer(s) are not detailed beyond "physician."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The document primarily mentions a "blinded comparison of baseline to follow-up full-axilla photos by an independent physician reviewer," implying a single reviewer's assessment for photo-based evaluation.
  • For hair counts, the method of counting and potential adjudication is not explicitly described. Given it's a quantitative measure, it might rely on standardized methods rather than expert adjudication in the same way image review would.

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

  • No, a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done.
  • This study evaluates the device's direct performance in hair reduction, not the influence of AI on human reader performance. The device itself is the treatment, not an AI diagnostic aid.

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

  • Yes, this was a standalone performance study of the device/treatment itself. The device, the miraDry System MD4000, is a therapeutic device that physically reduces hair. The study assesses the effectiveness of this physical treatment in a clinical setting, without any AI algorithm involved in the treatment delivery or primary assessment.
  • The "performance" described is the direct clinical outcome from using the miraDry system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth was established using a combination of:

  • Quantitative Measurement: Hair counts (primary method).
  • Expert Review: Blinded comparison of baseline and follow-up photos by an independent physician reviewer.
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes: Subject assessment of overall satisfaction, odor rating, and sweat ratings (though sweat and odor are related to the hyperhidrosis indication, they were collected).
  • Clinical Observation: Assessment of adverse events.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document describes a clinical trial (performance study) for the expanded indication. It does not mention a "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm or a machine learning model.
  • Therefore, N/A (Not Applicable) as this is not an AI/ML device.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

  • N/A (Not Applicable) as there was no training set mentioned in the context of an AI/ML device.

The miraDry System MD4000 consists of: the MD4000-MC Console; the MD4000-HP miraDry Handpiece; and a disposable, sterile MD4000-BT miraDry bioTip that snaps onto the Handpiece to provide a sterile protective cover.

As described in K131162, the miraDry System MD4000 also includes Class I components/accessories. The MD4000-TS template system is a required component for the miraDry treatment as well as the MD4000-PK priming kit. The MD4000-PK priming kit is required when the system is initially set up at a user facility. Optional accessories include an armrest and disposable ice packs.

The MD4000-MC Console is a software-driven device which contains circuit boards, a microwave generator, integrated vacuum and cooling systems, and an integrated touch-screen user interface.

The non-invasive miraDry Handpiece is specifically designed to deliver microwave energy to the skin at specified frequency and power levels. The proximal end of the Handpiece has a cable bundle and a console connector that supplies the energy and cooling to the Handpiece. The distal end has a sterile, disposable barrier, the miraDry bioTip, which contacts the patient.

SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The miraDry System MD4000 with the revised, expanded indication to include underarm hair removal is substantially equivalent to the miraDry System MD4000 as previously cleared for sweat reduction. The subject and predicate device have the same fundamental technology, design, and method of usage. A comparison of the two devices is shown in Table 1 below.

NON-CLINICAL TESTING

There was no additional non-clinical testing that was completed, as the device being used is the same as the cleared device (miraDry System MD4000, cleared under K131162).

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

CLINICAL TESTING

The safety and effectiveness of the clinical application of the miraDry System MD4000 for sweat reduction was demonstrated in prior clinical studies. The performance for underarm hair reduction was demonstrated in a clinical trial of 56 subjects.

The primary objective of this study was to quantify hair reduction in the axillae after treatment(s) with the miraDry System MD4000. The study device was used in the same manner as the commercially available technique cleared by the FDA for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis, as described in the User Manual.

The study was conducted at three private dermatology clinics in the United States. The study was initiated at the first site in September of 2012. Adult subjects seeking hair reduction in the axillae were considered for enrollment. Subjects were treated with the miraDry System MD4000 using the standard miraDry procedure in one or two treatment sessions 3 months apart.

Fifty-six subjects were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 33 years; 80% of the subjects were female and 88% were Caucasian. The majority of the subjects were of Fitzpatrick skin type I-IV. 23% (13/56) of the subjects completed only one treatment session; 5 of these 13 subjects declined a second session due to adverse events. The primary endpoint of this study was to show >30% reduction (baseline to 3 month, measured by hair counts) in >50% of subjects. There were 42 subjects assessable for this endpoint. The secondary endpoint was to show >30% reduction (comparing baseline to 12 months photos) to make a claim for permanent axillary hair reduction. Additional analyses used a blinded comparison of baseline to follow-up full-axilla photos by an independent physician reviewer to correctly identify which photo had more hair and score hair reduction at follow-up. Also, a subject assessment of overall satisfaction, odor rating and sweat ratings was determined at the follow-up visits. A summary of the results is presented in Table 2 below.

2: Summary of Efficacy Results

Both the primary and secondary endpoints were met, since the percentage of patients with hair reduction of at least 30% was significantly higher than 50% at all follow-up timepoints.

All subjects experienced at least one (1) treatment-related adverse event (AE), 99% (324/326) of all AE's were rated as mild in severity. Many subjects experienced the expected mild transient post-treatment effects; the most common were localized edema (55%), tingling or numbness in the treatment area (30%), vacuum acquisition marks (29%), bumps or lumps under the skin (29%) or discomfort or tenderness in the treatment area (26%). Other rarer treatment effects affecting more than the treatment area were noted in 18% of subjects (10/56), 75% of which were rated as mild. These included numbness or tingling in the arms (n=6 events); more extensive swelling in the adjacent area (e.g. arms) (n=4 events); and bruising outside the treatment area (n=2 events). One patient experienced unilateral ulnar neuropathy that was improving but not completely resolved at study exit. The types, rates and severity of the reported AE's are substantially equivalent to those from the predicate device (MD4000-MC with the hyperhidrosis indication, K131162).

The modification to the Indications for Use statement has not altered the fundamental technology of the miraDry System MD4000.

{8}------------------------------------------------

CONCLUSION

As described in this 510(k) Summary, Miramar Labs Inc. considers the miraDry System MD4000 to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
