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 "Clinical Performance Data: Not Applicable" and focuses solely on "Non-Clinical Performance Data." Therefore, there is no patient-based "test set" for which sample size or data provenance would be relevant in the context of clinical studies. The testing described is bench testing, software validation, and electrical/mechanical safety testing.
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 test set or ground truth established by experts is described in this non-clinical submission. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would have been the design specifications and recognized international safety standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as there is no clinical test set or human interpretation requiring adjudication.
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. This device is an aesthetic medical device (IPL and RF platform), not an AI-driven diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. No MRMC study was conducted or is relevant to this submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device does not involve an "algorithm" in the sense of AI or image analysis. It is a physical medical device that delivers energy. Its "standalone performance" is assessed through its compliance with safety standards and its ability to consistently output energy as designed, which was evaluated via the non-clinical performance and bench tests.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the non-clinical performance data, the "ground truth" was:
- Design requirements/specifications: For evaluating the output power accuracy of the ST Applicator and the overall system functionality.
- Recognized consensus standards: AAMI/ANSI 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-57, and IEC 60601-2-2, which define the safety and essential performance requirements for medical electrical equipment, including specific types of energy-delivering devices.
- Predicate device specifications: Used for comparison to demonstrate substantial equivalence, particularly for RF output power accuracy and overall technological characteristics.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. There is no mention of machine learning or an "AI" component that would require a training set. The device is a hardware-based system.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning model is mentioned.

Substantial Equivalence:
The indications for use and technological characteristics of the Forma System are substantially equivalent to the indications for use and technological characteristics of the predicate devices; the Viora Reaction and the Lumenis M22 Systems.
{9}------------------------------------------------
The design and components in the Forma System, including the power inlet unit, CPU controller, RF Generator, IPL unit and display panel are similar to the design and components found in the predicate devices. The Forma System Applicators possess similar technological principals to the predicate devices applicators also employing RF and IPL energy delivery systems. Although there are some minor differences between the Forma System and the predicate devices technological characteristics the Forma System effectiveness and safety is maintained due to the similar functionality and mechanism of operation. Both devices present similar performance specifications (for the specified indication for use) and similar monitoring features in order to maintain the desired power output settings. The safety features and compliance with safety standards in the Forma System are similar to the safety features and compliance with safety standards found in the predicate devices. Patient contact materials are also similar. Any minor differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns. Furthermore, the Forma System underwent performance testing, including software validation testing, electrical and mechanical safety testing according to IEC 60601-1, electromagnetic compatibility testing according to IEC 60601-1-2, basic safety and essential performance of non-laser light source equipment intended for therapeutic, diagnostic, monitoring and cosmetic/aesthetic use according to IEC 60601-2-57, basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgery equipment and high frequency surgical accessories according to IEC 60601-2-2, and bench testing to evaluate the consistency and accuracy of the RF and IPL power outputs. These performance tests demonstrated that the minor differences in the device design and specifications meet the system requirements and do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.
For the same reasons, the Forma Light System, consisting of the same IPL technological features as in the Forma System, is also substantially equivalent to the predicate device; the Lumenis M22 System.
