The laser is also intended for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions such as,but not limited to, lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), cafe au lait macules, seborrheic keratoses, nevi, chloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratoses, tattoos (significant reduction in the intensity of black and/or blue/black tattoos) and plaques. The laser is also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles. Additionally, the laser is indicated for the removal of unwanted hair, for the stable long term, or permanent hair reduction which is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles, and for the treatment of pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).

Device Description

The subject device is composed of the main body and a handpiece which is an irradiation device and as an accessory part, protective goggles for protection of the worker. It is controlled by a micro processor interfaced to a LCD touch screen control panel. The computer controls start and stop of the treatment. When the key switch of the system is turned clockwise, the main power will be inputted, which will be conveyed to the hand piece through the control board. Meanwhile, the control board connected to the touch screen is connected to the lamp of the handpiece and controls the same, and controls the whole system through the data connected to the touch screen control panel. When the switch of the hand piece is pressed, the lamp will laser.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the ORION Medical Laser System. This type of submission relies on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device rather than conducting new clinical studies to prove effectiveness. Therefore, the document does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a dedicated study designed to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner of a traditional clinical trial for a novel device.

Instead, the "proof" the device meets the acceptance criteria (which are essentially equivalence to predicate devices) primarily comes from engineering and performance testing against recognized standards, and a comparison of technical specifications and intended uses with predicate devices.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

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

Since this is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence, "acceptance criteria" are not explicitly stated in terms of clinical performance metrics that the device must achieve. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly that the device's technical specifications and intended uses fall within the established parameters of the predicate devices and that the device meets relevant safety and electrical standards. The "reported device performance" is a demonstration of compliance with these standards and a comparison of specifications.

CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate)Reported Device Performance (ORION)
General Safety and PerformanceCompliance with relevant medical electrical equipment standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, IEC 62366, IEC 60825-1).Tested against:
  • IEC 60601-1 (general requirements for basic safety and essential performance)
  • IEC 60601-1-6 (usability)
  • IEC 62366-1 (application of usability engineering)
  • IEC 60601-2-22 (particular requirements for surgical/cosmetic/therapeutic/diagnostic laser equipment)
  • IEC 60601-1-2 (electromagnetic compatibility)
  • IEC 60825-1 (safety of laser products - equipment classification/requirements)
    Conclusion: "All the test results support substantial equivalence to the predicate devices." (Page 6) |

    | Technical Specifications | Technical specifications for wavelength, energy, pulse duration, and spot size should be equivalent or similar to predicate devices. | The comparison table (pages 6-9) details specifications for ORION (Subject Device) and three predicate devices across parameters like:
  • Technology: Long Pulse Nd:YAG (matches all predicates)
  • Energy (1064nm): 100J (matches all predicates)
  • Energy (755nm): 50J (matches Cynosure, similar to CLARITY's 55J)
  • Energy (532nm): 10J (matches Altus)
  • Frequency: Ranges are similar/within predicate's capabilities.
  • Pulse train duration: Ranges are similar.
  • Spot size: 2-20mm (within range of predicate devices).
  • Wavelength: 1064nm, 755nm, 532nm (combination of wavelengths available in predicate devices).
  • Aiming beam: 650nm (matches all predicates).
  • Energy source: Nd:YAG, Alexandrite, KTP (matches combinations in predicates).
  • Cooling method: Cold air (matches Cynosure and CLARITY, different from Altus's Sapphire cooling but the overall effectiveness for skin protection is implied to be equivalent through the general performance testing). |

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

The document primarily relies on non-clinical performance data and a comparison to predicate devices. There is no information provided on clinical studies involving a "test set" of patient data, nor any details on sample size, data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective). This is typical for a 510(k) where substantial equivalence is demonstrated through engineering and a comparison to previously cleared 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)

Since no clinical studies with a "test set" are described, there is no information on experts establishing ground truth.

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

As no clinical studies with a "test set" are described, there is no information on an adjudication method.

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

The device is a medical laser system, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human "readers." Therefore, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study focusing on human reader improvement with AI assistance is not applicable and was not conducted or mentioned.

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

This is a medical laser system used for treatment, not an algorithm. Therefore, a standalone performance study in the context of an algorithm is not applicable and was not conducted or mentioned.

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

For this 510(k) submission, the "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence is based on:

  • Established standards: Compliance with international and national safety and performance standards for medical electrical equipment and laser products (e.g., IEC 60601 series, IEC 60825-1).
  • Predicate device specifications and clearances: The regulatory "ground truth" is that the predicate devices are legally marketed and have established safety and effectiveness. The ORION's specifications and intended uses are compared to these.

There is no mention of clinical "outcomes data," "pathology," or "expert consensus" related to new clinical trials for the ORION device itself.

8. The sample size for the training set

Since this is not an AI/machine learning device requiring a training set, this information is not applicable and not provided.

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

As there is no training set for an AI/machine learning device, this information is not applicable and not provided.
