(226 days)
Cellulize® is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for the reduction of circumference of hips, waist, and thighs.
The Massager component is indicated for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
The Cellulize is a non-invasive green light system with a power output of 105mW/cm2, consisting of 150 light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit visible light at nominal wavelength of 532nm ± 3nm (visible green light spectrum) and a spectral bandwidth of 10nm. Cellulize® is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for the reduction of circumference of hips, waist, and thighs. The Massager component is indicated for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
The components of the device include a mobile pole cart, controller console which plugs into a hospital-grade isolation transformer (attached with a bracket clamp to the pole cart), LED array mounted on an articulated arm (attached with a bracket clamp to the mobile pole cart), digital timer pre-selected for 8-minutes or 20-minutes, on/off switch, and a hospital-grade power cable. The articulated arm allows the light fixture to be positioned in a wide variety of functional positions. The knuckles and joints on the arm allow the light fixture to be rotated, tilted, and raised/lowered independently. The timer is set to a preset value of 8 minutes for circumference reduction treatment via a validated internal timer delay relay. The light fixture is positioned 17cm (6.8″) from the patient's skin to deliver the standard dose output intensity of 105mW/cm-and standard energy dose of 50 J/cm² with 8 minutes. Cellulize does not use any software.
This document describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the Cellulize device meets these criteria for its indication as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for the reduction of circumference of hips, waist, and thighs.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The core acceptance criterion for the Cellulize device directly relates to its ability to achieve inch loss. The primary outcome measure for the clinical study was "Average Change in Inches of Total Circumference Measurements for effect of Cellulize, a LED 532nm green light low level laser system for aesthetic use for the non-invasive reduction in fat layer for body contouring from baseline measurements, and after treatment."
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (Cellulize Active Group) |
|---|---|
| Primary Outcome: Demonstrate immediate inch loss in subjects after a regimen of six treatments of 32 minutes (8 minutes on each of four positions) compared to individuals subjected to a placebo device for an equivalent treatment. | Mean Cumulative Inch Loss: 2.67 inches (calculated from "before" treatment). |
| Durability of Effect: Demonstrate continued inch loss upon following up with each subject at 7 days and again at 14 days, indicating a sustained effect. | Mean Cumulative Inch Loss at 7-days: 3.40 inches. Mean Cumulative Inch Loss at 14-days: 3.87 inches. Additional Average Loss after time: 0.73 inches (from "after" to "7-day") and 0.47 inches (from "7-day" to "14-day"). This implies active Cellulize patients continued losing an average of 1.20 inches for a total average inch loss of 3.87 inches after 14 days. |
| (Failed) Reduction in the appearance of cellulite: Demonstrate a decrease in the appearance of cellulite as measured by the Nurnberger-Muller Scale (NMS) from baseline to completion of treatment for the thigh/buttock area using Cellulize LED 532nm green light without any other intervention. | The Nurnberger-Muller Scale (NMS) results from the active device as well as placebo both showed that cellulite in general did not decrease on the back of thigh/buttocks for subjects after a single treatment. This failed to meet the anticipated primary outcome measure. |
Note: The FDA 510(k) clearance is based on the substantial equivalence of the device, which in this case relies on meeting the inch loss criteria, even though the cellulite reduction criterion was not met. The legally marketed predicate devices support the inch loss claim.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: A total of 52 patients participated in the clinical study.
- 25 patients were in the Active Cellulize group.
- 27 patients were in the Placebo Control group.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data. However, given the FDA submission, it can be inferred that the study was conducted to meet U.S. regulatory standards. The study was a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized evaluation.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
The document does not provide details on the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set. For objective measurements like circumference reduction, the "ground truth" would typically be derived from direct, quantitative measurements rather than expert consensus on subjective interpretation. For cellulite reduction using the Nurnberger-Muller Scale (NMS), the scale itself is an industry standard and implies a structured assessment, likely by trained personnel, but their specific qualifications or number are not mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for establishing the ground truth measurements. As direct measurements were taken, an adjudication process for subjective interpretation might not have been deemed necessary or explicitly documented. The study was double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the measurement takers (to the extent possible) would know if the active or placebo device was being used, which inherently reduces bias.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
There is no indication that a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, nor is there information on the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance. This type of study is more common for diagnostic AI tools where human interpretation is the primary endpoint. For a device like Cellulize, the effectiveness is measured by physical changes (circumference reduction), not by human perception of diagnostic images.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
The Cellulize device does not use any software for its operation (as stated in Section 14, "No Software" and the comparison table, item 3). Therefore, a standalone (algorithm-only) performance study is not applicable. The device's efficacy is based on the direct application of green light, and the study evaluated the device's physical effect on the body with human subjects.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for the primary outcome measure (inch loss) was direct, quantitative measurements of cumulative circumferences of the waist, hip, and thighs. These measurements were taken "before" and "after" treatment, as well as at 7-day and 14-day follow-ups.
For the assessment of cellulite, the Nurnberger-Muller Scale (NMS), a four-stage scale, was used as an industry standard. This would be a form of clinical assessment or qualitative measurement.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document describes a clinical study in support of the 510(k) submission, which is typically a validation study (test set). There is no information provided on a separate training set or its sample size. Devices like Cellulize that do not use software or AI/machine learning models typically do not have a "training set" in the computational sense. The design and parameters of the device (such as wavelength, power output, treatment time) are based on scientific principles and potentially prior research or predicate device characteristics, which serve as the "training" for the device's physical design and treatment protocol.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As noted above, there is no explicit "training set" in the context of an AI/ML model for this device. The physical design and treatment protocol would have been established through a combination of:
- Bench Testing: As described in the document (e.g., IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Test Report, IEC 62471 Photobiological Safety, Device Life Report), these tests validate that the system meets design specifications and performance requirements.
- Scientific Principles and Prior Knowledge: The device utilizes 532nm green light, which is also used by a predicate device (Verju Laser) that causes lipolysis. This indicates that the foundational scientific understanding of how such light interacts with biological tissue to achieve the desired effect informed the device's design.
- Predicate Device Comparison: Extensive comparison to predicate devices (Verju Laser and Photonica Professional) was performed to establish substantial equivalence in design, operation, and intended use, effectively leveraging the "ground truth" demonstrated by those previously cleared devices.

15. Clinical Testing
A clinical study was conducted, and is submitted in support of the 510(k) submission. The study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized evaluation of the effect of Cellulize for aesthetic use for the non-invasive reduction in fat layer for body contouring and reduction of cellulite. A total of 52 patients participated in the study (25 Active Cellulize, and 27 Placebo Control). Patients were all female with a median age of 42.5 years old with a range of patient ages from 18 years to 69 years old. Ethnic origin of the patients were represented from Asian, African American, Caucasian, Latino, and Pacific Islander. Cumulative circumferences of waist, hip, left and right thighs for each patient was calculated before and after treatment. Three main points were concluded as a result of the study:
-
- Cellulize causes immediate inch loss in subjects after a regimen of six treatments of 32 minutes (8 minutes on each of four positions) compared to individuals subjected to a placebo device for an equivalent treatment. In a typical regimen, patients lost an average cumulative 2.67 inches of circumference compared to placebo average of 0.5 inch. This meetsthe anticipated primary outcome measure "Average Change in Inches of Total Circumference Measurements for effect of Cellulize, a LED 532nm green light low level laser system for aesthetic use for the non-invasive reduction in fat layer for body contouring from baseline measurements, and after treatment." Figure 1, below, shows the graphical summary of inch loss for patients in the Cellulize active group and the Placebo control group respectively. Table 1 give the mean values for both groups as well as standard deviation for the "after" measurements, as well as 7-day and 14-day follow ups relative to the "before" measurements for each patient.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/7/Figure/3 description: The image contains two bar charts, one labeled "Cellulize" and the other "Placebo". Both charts depict "Inch Loss" on the y-axis, ranging from -9 to 16, and "Patient ID#" on the x-axis. Each chart shows three data series: "After", "7-day", and "14-day", represented by different colored bars for each patient ID.
Figure 7-1 - Patient inch loss/gain results comparison. Cellulize patients had significantly better cumulative inch loss than patients who received a placebo treatment using a sham device. The initial measurement after completing the treatment regimen (blue) is often followed by continued loss 7 days (red) and 14 days (yellow) after completing all treatment. Patients undergoing placebo procedure exhibited unpredictable gains or losses consistent with untreated patients, and the amplitude of the changes is smaller than patients treated with Cellulize.
| Celluize Active Group | After | 7-day | 14-day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean Cumulative Inch Loss (calculated from "before"): | 2.67 | 3.40 | 3.87 |
| Standard Deviation: | 4.04 | 3.81 | 4.45 |
| Min Inches Lost: | -9.88 | -2.25 | -1.88 |
| Max Inches Lost: | 10.00 | 12.38 | 15.00 |
| Additional Average Loss after time: | - | 0.73 | 0.47 |
| Placebo Group | After | 7-day | 14-day |
| Mean Cumulative Inch Loss (calculated from "before"): | 0.52 | 0.07 | -0.82 |
| Standard Deviation: | 2.61 | 2.72 | 2.95 |
| Min Inches Lost: | -6.88 | -5.38 | -8.63 |
| Max Inches Lost: | 6.13 | 4.88 | 4.00 |
Table 7-1: Inch Loss summary for Cellulize active Trial Participants and Placebo Trial Participants. The demonstrated inch loss, as well as continued effect, were greater and were general ly desirable effect for the Cellulize Group. The placebo group had minimal effect and inch gain was more prevalent among participants.

-
- While durability of effect is also impacted by extrinsic factors after treatment such as diet, it was demonstrated that subjects were more likely to show continued inch loss upon following up with each subject at 7 days and again at 14 days. In general, patients undergoing active Cellulize 532nm green light continued losing some inch with an average continued loss of an addition 1.20 inches for a total average inch loss of 3.87 inches where average placebo measurements after 14 days yielded a net gain (not a loss) of 0.875 inches. This implies that the green light treatment meets the expected primary outcome of demonstrated durability of effect after short-term follow up of 2weeks.
-
- Finally, the effect of Cellulize LED 532nm green light without any other intervention was measured for its effect on cellulite as part of the study. The Nurnberger-Muller Scale (NMS), a four-stage scale used as an industry standard to classify stage or degree of cellulite and to determine change in stage or degree of cellulite following treatment intervention, was used to ensure consistent evaluation standards. Results from the active device as well as placebo both showed that cellulite in general did not decrease on the back of thigh/buttocks for subjects after a single treatment of 532nm green light. This result failed to meet the anticipated primary outcome measure of decreasing appearance of cellulite as a measure of the Nurnberger-Muller Scale (NMS) from baseline to completion of treatment for the thigh/buttock area.

19. Substantial Equivalence
Cellulize, with its intended use, is equivalent to the predicate devices:
- . Verju Laser, manufactured by Erchonia. The K130922 clearance is attached as Exhibit 14A.
- Photonica Professional, manufactured by Ward Photonics. The K160880 clearance ● is attached as Exhibit 14B.
Both of the predicate devices, as well as the candidate device, cause lipolysis, which reduces the circumferences as a result of exposure to 532 nm green light (or 635nm red light). Cellulize, is a circumference reducing LED light system using 532nm ± 3nm green light which is the same green light wavelength used by the VERJU.
The FDA product classification code, OLI, has a guidance document which is the special control for this product, Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Low Level Laser System for Aesthetic Use. According to the guidance document, FDA believes that special controls, when combined with the general controls, will be sufficient to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the low level laser system for aestheticuse. Cellulize complies with all of the standards outlined in the special controls consensus standards.
The principles of operation and base elements of the Cellulize device are very similar to the
{9}------------------------------------------------
Verju predicate device in the portability, and pole-mounted positioning over the patient; however, the Verju utilizes a different mechanism to achieve coverage of the treatment area with green light. The predicate Verju Laser utilizes six pin-point lasers positioned on articulating arms circumferentially positioned around the treatment area. The rotating lasers of the Verju project a concentrated high intensity green line over a small portion of the treatment area, and the system rotates to effectively cover a broad pattern, or to "scan" the treatment area for its coverage. Cellulize achieves treatment area coverage through a soft uniform bath of green light from an array of 150 diodes. Because "dosage" is a mechanism of energy, coverage and time, the Cellulize has matched the effectiveness of the predicate with LED green light to provide the same treatment. The table below details the similarities of the predicate to Cellulize. There are no differences between the subject device and the Verju Laser with respect to indications and intended use.
The Cellulize device is based upon the same design platform as the Photonica Professional predicate device in every aspect of the design except for the color of the LED array. Cellulize uses 532nm green light, and Photonicia Professional uses 635nm red light.
The Cellulize is substantially equivalent to the Verju Laser manufactured by Erchonia and subject of (K130922), as well as the Photonica Professional manufactured by Ward Photonics and subject of (K160880). Table 7-1 (below – refer to Section 13), gives the comparison between the two predicate devices and the candidate device.
