Intended Use

The Time Machine Series Lasers Model TTML-8102000 - 810/830 nm is intended for use in temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, minor arthritis pain, temporary increase in local blood circulation and temporary relaxation of muscles by means of topical elevated tissue temperature from infrared spectral emissions.

Device Description

The TTML-8102000 hand held laser device operates in continuous wave mode at a fixed frequency. The Power is operated with lithium batteries. A cap covers the laser aperture and must be removed before treatment. Activating a mechanical button powers on the unit when operating by battery power. When a mechanical switch is pressed a LCD screen illuminates. The device can be operated in either of two modes which are selected by means of a mechanical switch: (1) a timer mode where treatment time is entered by means of a mechanical switch and time is displayed on the LCD screen. The device automatically shuts off when the set time is reached. (2) a manual mode where treatment continues until the device is manually shut off. The unit is powered down by pressing the power button (battery mode). None of these functions are controlled by software. The software controls only the timer and time display. Software is embedded into a single chip circuit which contains the CPU and memory. These chips are used in simple circuits. The device can maintain skin temperature of 40-45℃ for at least 10 minutes based on the study conducted on three live human subject.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for "The Time Machine Series Lasers" (Model TTML-8102000). The document outlines the device's indications for use, its comparison to a predicate device, and the testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" in the typical sense of quantitative thresholds for clinical performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy for a diagnostic device). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the claim of substantial equivalence to a predicate device and adherence to safety and performance standards.

The primary "clinical performance" reported is related to maintaining skin temperature.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Clinical safety and non-harmfulness to end-users (implied by predicate equivalence and safety standards)The skin temperature study "confirmed that the subject device passes the clinical test and it's safe and non-harmful to the end users."
Maintain skin temperature for therapeutic effect (40-45°C) for a specified durationThe device can maintain skin temperature of 40-45℃ for at least 10 minutes.

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

  • Sample Size: "three live human subjects"
  • Data Provenance: The study was conducted on "live human subjects," indicating a prospective human study for this specific aspect of performance. The country of origin is not specified in the provided text.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

The document does not mention the use of experts to establish a "ground truth" for the skin temperature study. The measurement of skin temperature is an objective physiological metric.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable, as no subjective interpretation or consensus among experts was required for the objective temperature measurement.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No. This type of study is not relevant for a therapeutic laser device whose "clinical test" involved objective skin temperature measurement. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on indications for use and technical characteristics, and a small-scale human study for a specific physiological effect.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance

Not applicable. This device is a therapeutic laser and its performance is assessed by its physical output and direct physiological effect (skin temperature), not by an algorithm's classification or detection capabilities. The embedded software "controls only the timer and time display," and its performance is not evaluated in a standalone manner in the context of this FDA submission.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the skin temperature study was direct physiological measurement (skin temperature). The goal was to demonstrate that the device achieves and maintains a specific temperature range, not to diagnose a condition against a "true" diagnosis from pathology or expert consensus.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or AI that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense. The software's function is limited to controlling the timer and display, which are pre-programmed and do not learn from data.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for a machine learning algorithm.

Testing information demonstrating safety and effectiveness of the subject device in the intended environment of use is supported by testing that was conducted in accordance with the FDA November 1993 Draft "Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions", DCRND, which outlines Electrical, Mechanical, Environmental and Performance Requirements.

None of the testing demonstrated any design characteristics that violated the requirements of the Reviewer Guidance or resulted in any safety hazards. It was Medical Lasers Manufacturer Inc.'s conclusion that testing met all relevant requirements of the FDA's November 1993 Draft "Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions".

The following National and International Standards were utilized for testing the subject device:

Performance Standards:

AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012,, c1:2009/(r)2012 and a2:2010/(r)2012 (consolidated text) medical electrical equipment - part 1: general requirements for basic safety and essential performance (iec 60601-1:2005, mod). (General II (ES/EMC)
