No
The document describes a radiofrequency and ultrasound system for dermatological and general surgical procedures. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The device appears to be based on established energy-based technologies.
Yes.
The device is intended for the "non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids," "temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite," and "relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures," all of which are therapeutic applications. Additionally, the device description explicitly states the presence of a "therapeutic ultrasound hand piece."
No.
The device is intended for therapeutic and aesthetic procedures such as wrinkle treatment, cellulite reduction, and pain relief, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "console with three previously cleared RF hand pieces and one ultrasound hand piece" and mentions "therapeutic ultrasound hand piece" and "touch screen on the console". This indicates significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended uses are focused on dermatological and general surgical procedures, non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids, temporary reduction of cellulite, skin ablation and resurfacing, and therapeutic ultrasound for pain relief, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. None of these involve testing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
- Device Description: The device is described as a console with RF and ultrasound hand pieces used for applying energy to the body. This is consistent with a therapeutic or surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device operates in vivo (on the body) for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.

§ 890.5300 Ultrasonic diathermy.
(a)
Ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses except for the treatment of malignancies is a device that applies to the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended for the treatment of medical conditions by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP for a device described in paragraph (b) of this section is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 13, 1999, for any ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 13, 1999, been found to be substantially equivalent to an ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

VII. Substantial Equivalence Information and Performance Testing
The review of the indications for use and technical characteristics provided above, demonstrates that the Accent XL with the Alma Ultra hand piece, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Testing was performed in accordance with the following IEC tests:
IEC 60601-1:05+CORR.1(2006)+CORR.2(2007)+A1:12 The general standard IEC 60601-1 - Medical Equipment / medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - gives general requirements of the series of standards. The standard contains requirements concerning basic safety and essential performance that are generally applicable to medical electrical equipment.
IEC 60601-1-2:2007 (edition 3.0): Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests.
IEC 60601-2-2:2009: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories
IEC 60601-2-5:2009: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-5: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment.
Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with the following standards and the patient contacting material for the ultrasound hand piece has been previously cleared in K042000 and K141237:
ISO 10993-5:1999 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
ISO 10993-10:1999 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization
Performance Bench Testing
Additionally, temperature testing was conducted to ensure that (1) the ultrasound device must raise the skin temperature to 40-45°C in less than 15 minutes, (2) the ultrasound device must be capable of maintaining the skin temperature at 40-45°C for a minimum of 10 minutes and (3) the ultrasound device can treat for 30 minutes with no adverse effects.
Conclusion VIII.
The Accent XL with the Alma Ultra hand piece has the same intended use as the predicate devices with similar indications for use. It presents similar technological
11
characteristics as the predicate device including design features, ultrasonic intensity, ultrasound frequency etc.
Although there are some differences between the Accent XL with the Alma Ultrasound hand piece, and its predicate devices in terms of Effective Radiating Area (ERA), BNR (Maximum Beam Non-uniformity Ratio) etc., the differences do not present any new concerns of safety and effectiveness, since the Accent XL with the Alma Ultra hand piece parameters are within the range used by the predicate devices for treatment of temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures.
The Accent XL with the Alma Ultra hand piece and its predicate devices operate with the same mechanism of action, based on converting electromagnetic energy in ultrasonic oscillations and delivering ultrasonic waves to the treated area.
The RF hand pieces and the massager hand piece that can also be attached to the Accent XL console were previously cleared via K121150 and K101147.
Therefore, the Accent XL with the Alma Ultra hand piece has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. Thus, the Accent XL with the Alma Ultra hand piece is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
