Any other different use is considered incorrect.

Device Description

The Discovery Pico Family is a laser family that includes Q-Switched and/or Pulsed laser sources, emitting at one or more of the following wavelengths: 532 nm, 1064 nm, 694 nm (Ruby laser). The Discovery Pico Family systems, through the special universal Twain connector, can be equipped with intense pulsed light handpieces (Twain IPL) emitting at the following wavelengths: 650-1200nm, 625-1200nm, 590-1200nm, 570-1200nm, 550-1200nm, 400-1200nm. The Discovery Pico Family systems, when operating with Pulsed laser sources and IPL, can be used in combination with optional contact, or air, cooling systems. The optical delivery system is an articulated arm with fixed handpieces. The optical delivery system for the IPL system is a handpiece (Twain IPL) with fixed or interchangeable light filters at different wavelengths. All the models belonging to the Discovery Pico Family have the same components and the same control software. The only difference between different models is the optical bench that depends on the sources installed. The Discovery Pico Family is controlled via a touch screen display housed in the front of the device. Emission is triggered by means of a footswitch.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Discovery Pico Family laser system, which describes its modifications and substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria, specific device performance metrics, or a study design in the way typically expected for a clinical validation or AI-based device. Instead, it focuses on regulatory compliance and the safety/effectiveness of a modified laser device.

However, I can extract the relevant information that is present in the document which aligns with some of your requested categories, and indicate where the requested information is not available.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document states: "There are no mandatory performance standards for this device." Instead of specific numerical acceptance criteria for clinical performance, the approval is based on compliance with electrical and safety standards, and equivalence to predicate devices.

Acceptance Criterion (Compliance)Reported Device Performance (Compliance Status)
IEC 60601-2-22: Surgical Laser EquipmentComplies
IEC 60825-1: Laser Product SafetyComplies
IEC 60601-1: Medical Electrical EquipmentComplies
IEC 60601-1-2: Electromagnetic CompatibilityComplies
Software Verification and Validation TestingConducted and documentation provided
Biocompatibility of materialsEstablished based on predicate devices
Thermal-histology performance (fractional handpieces)Data provided (details not in summary)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

Not applicable. This document describes a medical device clearance based on substantial equivalence and compliance with engineering standards, not a clinical study involving a test set of data. The "test set" in this context refers to engineering and safety performance tests of the device itself, not a dataset for evaluating an algorithm's diagnostic or predictive performance.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. (See explanation for point 2).

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. (See explanation for point 2).

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 is not an AI-based diagnostic or imaging device. It is a laser surgical instrument.

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

Not applicable. This device is a laser system, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the engineering and safety performance tests mentioned, the "ground truth" would be established by validated test methods and measurements against established engineering and safety standards. For example, laser power output would be measured with calibrated equipment, and electrical safety would be verified according to IEC standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. (See explanation for point 2).

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

Not applicable. (See explanation for point 2).

Summary of Study (Based on the provided document):

The "study" described in this 510(k) summary is a regulatory submission demonstrating the substantial equivalence of the modified Discovery Pico Family laser system to previously cleared predicate devices. The primary focus is on proving that the modified device (with added fractional handpieces) maintains the same intended use, indications for use, and fundamental scientific technology as its unmodified predecessor (K163222), and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

The document highlights compliance with several recognized consensus standards (IEC 60601-2-22, IEC 60825-1, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2) which cover general safety, laser safety, and electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment. It also mentions "Thermal-histology performance data for fractional handpieces" as being provided, which would involve laboratory/bench testing. Software verification and validation testing were also conducted.

There is no mention of clinical trials, human reader studies, or AI algorithm performance evaluations because the device is a laser system whose safety and effectiveness are established through compliance with existing standards and comparison to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than through novel diagnostic performance.

Performance data:

Discovery Pico family devices comply with the following recognized consensus standards:

  • Thermal-histology performance data for fractional handpieces

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".

Biocompatibility:

The materials of the modified and unmodified device have no differences.

The biocompatibility of the Discovery Pico Family is established based on the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

The modified Discovery Pico Family has the same intended use, the same indications for use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the unmodified Discovery Pico Family (K163222).

The performance specifications of modified Discovery Pico Family are the unmodified Discovery Pico Family (K163222), except for the addition of two fractional handpieces. A reference predicate device was considered for the fractional handpieces, K162454, that has equivalent performances and intended use so that there are no different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Therefore, the Discovery Pico Family is substantially equivalent to its identified predicate devices.
