Device Description

The portable device SUPERBIUM, is a multilaser and pulsed light system, designated to act on some common conditions of face and body (as specified in detail in Section 4). The equipment is designed as an expandable system for dermatologic and general surgery procedures, composed of a modular platform, which contains the entire electronics of the system and the cooling circuit, and a series of interchangeable handpieces to be connected on the platform, intended to treat specific groups of imperfections. A quick connection enables the quick and easy replacement of the various hand pieces that can be mounted on the modular platform.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the "SUPERBIUM" medical laser system. It compares the device to several predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than providing a performance study with specific acceptance criteria against a defined ground truth.

Therefore, many of the requested sections about acceptance criteria and study details cannot be fully answered from this document. However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the device's technical characteristics and the comparison to predicate devices, which serves the purpose of demonstrating equivalence.

Here's a summary of the available information based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Since this is a 510(k) submission showing substantial equivalence to predicate devices, there isn't a table of explicit acceptance criteria for the study's outcome in the traditional sense of a clinical trial. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by demonstrating that the SUPERBIUM device's technological characteristics and intended uses are "substantially equivalent" to the listed predicate devices. The "reported device performance" is essentially a comparison of these characteristics.

The tables within the document (e.g., "B) Nd:Yag Handpiece Long Pulse", "C) Nd:Yag Handpiece - Short Pulse", etc.) serve as the core of this comparison. For each handpiece, the SUPERBIUM's specifications (Wavelength, Output power, Max energy per pulse, Beam diameter, Fluence, Pulse duration, Emission frequency, and Intended Use) are presented alongside those of the predicate devices.

Example of "Acceptance Criteria" (Implicit for Substantial Equivalence) and "Reported Device Performance" (Comparison to Predicates):

CharacteristicSUPERBIUM (Reported Performance)Predicate Device A (e.g., HARMONY XL K072564)Predicate Device B (e.g., ICON AESTHETIC SYSTEM K103664)Implied "Acceptance Criteria" for Substantial Equivalence
Nd:Yag LP Wavelength1064 nm1064 nm1064 nmWavelength must be identical or clinically similar.
Nd:Yag LP Output Power45W max40W max50 WWithin comparable range of predicate devices.
Nd:Yag LP Max Energy/PulseLP: 45J (max)40 J50 JWithin comparable range of predicate devices.
Nd:Yag LP Fluence (6mm spot)160 J/cm230-150 J/cm2 (6mm)16/140 J/cm2 (6mm)Within comparable range of predicate devices.
Nd:Yag LP Pulse Duration1 - 25 ms40-60 ms (6mm) / 8-15ms (2mm)10 - 100 msWithin comparable range of predicate devices.
Nd:Yag LP Emission Freq.1 Hz (max)1 Hz0.2 - 2 HzIdentical or within comparable range.
Intended Use (Nd:Yag LP example)Treatment of vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, tattoos, hair removal, etc.Similar scope of treatments.Similar scope of treatments.Intended uses must be the same or highly similar.

Note: The document states "Any differences are considered minor and do not raise new issues of the safety and effectiveness of the SUPERBIUM device when compared to the predicate devices." This is the ultimate "acceptance" for a 510(k).

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document explicitly states: "Animal and clinical studies were not necessary to demonstrate that the permormances are comparable to the predicate devices." Instead, the submission relies on direct comparison of technological characteristics. Therefore, there is no test set sample size or clinical data provenance to report. The data provenance for the comparison itself is simply from the regulatory submissions of the predicate devices.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable, as no clinical study with a test set requiring expert ground truth was conducted for this 510(k) submission.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical study with a test set requiring adjudication was conducted.

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, as this is a medical laser system for various dermatological and surgical applications, not an AI-powered diagnostic device, and no MRMC study was performed.

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

Not applicable, as this is a medical laser system, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable, as no clinical study requiring a specific ground truth was conducted. The ground for the submission is the regulatory information and technical specifications of the predicate devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device and not a machine learning model.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device and not a machine learning model.
