The Venus Versa System is comprised of a console (controller/CPU) and ten detachable handpieces (applicators). The system can deliver three types of energies to the patient's skin using the associated applicators:
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL); ●
- Radiofrequency (RF); .
- Magnetic Pulse (MP2). .
The following ten handpieces are included with the device system: SR515, SR580, HR650, HR690, HR650XL, HR690XL, ACDUAL, Diamondpolar, Octipolar, and Viva.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Venus Versa System. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific clinical acceptance criteria through a standalone study with a predefined ground truth and expert adjudication. Therefore, much of the requested information (like specific acceptance criteria based on clinical efficacy, sample sizes for training/test sets, expert qualifications, or MRMC comparative effectiveness studies) is not typically found or required in a 510(k) summary for this class of device and type of submission.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and bench testing (system verification testing) rather than clinical performance data against specific endpoints.
Here's an analysis of the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria described are largely related to technical specifications and safety, not clinical efficacy. The reported performance refers to the device meeting these technical specifications.
| Acceptance Criteria (Technical/Safety) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) per AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 | All results were passing. |
| Electrical Safety per IEC 60601-2-2, and IEC 60601-2-57 | All results were passing. |
| Biocompatibility of patient-contacting materials per ISO 10993-5 | Established biocompatibility of materials; all results were passing. |
| Validation of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization parameters | Validated in testing; all results were passing. |
| Software validation | Software was appropriate for release. |
| IPL Applicators: | |
| Measured fluence at each wavelength matches expected value within defined acceptance criterion | Measured fluence levels at each wavelength were within expected values; passing results for each applicator (tested in 5 J/cm² increments). |
| Light guide temperatures meet expected values | Fluke measured temperatures of each applicator met specifications; passing results. |
| Spectral region defined by the filter for each wavelength (SR515, SR580, HR650, HR690, ACDUAL) | Test results demonstrated that the spectral region is defined by the filter; passing results. |
| Diamondpolar & Octipolar Applicators: | |
| Measured RF voltage within expected values | Within expected values; met pass criteria. |
| Electromagnetic field density within expected values | Within expected values; met pass criteria. |
| System temperature within expected values | Within expected values; met pass criteria. |
| Viva Applicator: | |
| Measured output power (pulse width, pulse amplitude) within expected values | Within expected values; met pass criteria. |
| Overall Versa applicators and system meet technical and mechanical requirements | All results were passing. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not describe "test sets" in the context of clinical data for performance evaluation. The "testing" mentioned refers to engineering and safety verification on the device itself. Therefore, specific sample sizes for clinical test sets or data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) are not applicable to the information provided for this 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Their Qualifications
This information is not applicable as the document describes technical verification and safety testing, not clinical studies requiring expert-established ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable as there is no mention of a clinical test set requiring adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned. The submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on technological characteristics and safety (bench testing), not comparative clinical efficacy with human readers.
6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop)
This information is not applicable as the Venus Versa System is a physical device (multi-application aesthetic system), not an AI algorithm. Its performance is inherent in its operation, not an "algorithm only" in the sense of AI.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance evaluation described would be engineering and manufacturing specifications/standards. For example, the "truth" for fluence measurement is the expected fluence value, and the "truth" for biocompatibility is conformance to ISO 10993-5. There is no clinical or pathological "ground truth" established from patient data mentioned in this submission for proving performance.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. There is no mention of a "training set" as the device is a physical system, not a machine learning model.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above.
Summary of Device Acceptance and Study:
The Venus Versa System gained acceptance (clearance) through the 510(k) pathway by demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. The "study" proving this involves:
- Comparison of Technical Characteristics: Showing that the Venus Versa System's intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics (energy type, IPL spectrum, frequency, spot size, pulse duration, energy density), and principles of operation are similar to its predicate devices, with minor differences that do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.
- Bench Testing / System Verification: Conducting a series of engineering, safety, and performance evaluations on the device itself. This included:
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing.
- Electrical Safety testing.
- Biocompatibility testing of patient-contacting materials.
- Validation of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization parameters.
- Software validation.
- Specific system verification for each applicator type (IPL, Bipolar RF & PMF, Fractional RF) to ensure measured outputs (e.g., fluence, RF voltage, output power, temperature) met predefined technical specifications and expected values.
In essence, the "acceptance criteria" were regulatory requirements for safety and performance equivalence to predicate devices, and the "study" was a combination of documentation outlining feature similarity and rigorous engineering verification testing. Clinical efficacy for specific indications, while implied by equivalence to predicates, was not proven through new clinical trials with patient cohorts described in this document.

Device Description
The Venus Versa System is comprised of a console (controller/CPU) and ten detachable handpieces (applicators). The system can deliver three types of energies to the patient's skin using the associated applicators:
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL); ●
- Radiofrequency (RF); .

Technological Characteristics
The Venus Versa System has similar technological characteristics to its predicates. The Versa is a multi-application system that allows delivery of energy, similar to its predicates. The Versa and the predicate devices are each designed as a system console with a user interface and applicator(s) indicated for the desired treatment effects. The technological characteristics of the Venus Versa as a system and when used for each of the proposed indications (vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, hair removal/reduction, acne) are similar to the corresponding parameters of the predicate devices. The technological differences between the Venus Versa and its predicates are minor, including some minor differences in terms of the spot size, frequency, and pulse duration. However, the key parameters of the Versa affecting treatment outcomes (i.e., wavelengths, fluence levels, total energy) are the same or encompassed within the range of the predicate devices. Therefore, the dimensional differences or other technical differences between the Versa and its predicates do not present any new or different issues of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the Venus Versa

Performance Data and Standards
The performance of the Venus Versa has been demonstrated in testing. Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety testing was conducted per AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1. IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2, and IEC 60601-2-57. All results were passing. In addition, the patient contacting materials are biocompatible based on the established biocompatibility of the materials and per ISO 10993-5. The applicable cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization parameters have also been validated in testing.
The Venus Versa System also underwent software validation and results demonstrate that the software was appropriate for release.
System verification testing was performed on the subject Versa System with all 10 of the applicators. Results were all passing. Specifically, the Versa IPL applicators were tested to show that the measured fluence at each wavelength matches the expected value within the defined acceptance criterion. In addition, the light guide temperatures were also measured per the expected values. The measured fluence levels at each wavelength were within the expected values, demonstrating passing results for each applicator. Testing was conducted in increments of 5 J/cm² for a comprehensive evaluation across the range of fluence levels. The fluke measured temperatures of each applicator met specifications.
In addition, as previously submitted in K152790, the Venus Versa IPL applicators SR515, SR580, HR650, and HR690 were evaluated in spectrum testing. The Versa IPL applicators were measured using a spectrometer at each of the wavelengths. At each wavelength, the test results demonstrated that the spectral region is defined by the filter. Further, the ACDUAL applicator spectrum testing was also performed as part of the IEC 60601-2-57 testing.
For the Diamondpolar and Octipolar applicators, system verification testing showed that measured RF voltage, electromagnetic field density, and system temperature were within expected values and met the pass criteria. It should further be noted that the performance of these applicators were previously demonstrated in the company's cleared Legacy BX 510(k) (K142910).
For the Viva applicator, system verification testing showed that the measured output power (pulse width, pulse amplitude) was within expected values. In addition, the performance of the Viva applicator was previously demonstrated in the company's cleared Viva SR System 510(k) (K150161). As detailed in the report, system verification also ensured that the Versa applicators and system met technical and mechanical requirements. All results were passing.
Therefore, performance testing confirmed the equivalent technological characteristics and energy output available for the Versa compared to its predicate.
Substantial Equivalence
The Venus Versa has the same intended use and the same or similar indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The technological differences between the Venus Versa and its predicates are minor, including
{12}------------------------------------------------
some differences in terms of the spot size, frequency, and pulse duration. As detailed above, the minor technological differences between the Venus Versa and its predicate devices do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions, given that the key energy parameters (i.e., wavelengths, fluence levels, total energy) are the same or similar for the devices. Therefore, the Venus Versa System presents similar technological characteristics as its predicates, in support of substantial equivalence.
Conclusions
The Venus Versa has the same intended use and the same or similar indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate devices. Testing demonstrates that the device performs as intended for the indicated uses of each applicator. Minor differences between the subject and predicate devices do not present any new or different types of safety or effectiveness questions, as confirmed by device performance evaluations. In sum, the Venus Versa System is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
