(79 days)
The truSculpt RF energy is intended to provide topical heating tissue temperature for the treatment of selected medical conditions, such as relief of pain and increase in local circulation.
Additionally, the 2 MHz setting for the 40 cm handpiece is indicated for reduction in circumference of the abdomen and non-invasive lipolysis (breakdown of fat) of the abdomen.
The truSculpt massage device is intended to provide a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
The truSculpt RF Device consists of a console, one or more RF handpieces that connect to the console with an umbilical cable, and a truGlide massage roller. All system functions are controlled through the console. The handpieces deliver RF energy to generate a heating profile that produces a moderate temperature rise in the subcutaneous tissue, while monitoring epidermal temperature. The truGlide is a separate mechanical roller that can be used as a massager.
Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study information for the truSculpt RF Device, based on the provided text:
Device: truSculpt RF Device
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by the clinical study endpoints and the "Summary Results" in the study tables.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from Study Endpoints) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Non-invasive Lipolysis (Study C-17-TS13) | |
| Efficacy: Histological evaluation of tissue for selective fat necrosis, with sparing of the dermis and epidermis, following truSculpt treatment vs. untreated contralateral control. | Met endpoints. Epidermal and dermal tissues were unaffected by RF treatment and were equivalent and indistinguishable in all subject biopsies. Biopsies from the control areas showed normal subcutaneous adipose tissue structures with no indication of changes from the contralateral RF treatment area. Biopsies from treated areas showed adipocyte necrosis and/or inflammatory immune cell response. Acute inflammation was present immediately and out to 20 days. Peak adipocyte death and fat necrosis observed 30 days post-treatment. |
| Safety: Incidence and severity of adverse device effects during the study period, including subject pain level during RF treatment. | No adverse events were observed. Immediate responses included mild to moderate erythema and edema, which resolved with no intervention. |
| Circumferential Reduction (Study C-17-TS15, follow-up to C-16-TS11) | |
| Efficacy: Difference in circumferential measurement at the 18-month follow-up visit when compared with the baseline and 12-week follow-up visits, as measured and reported in C-16-TS11 (K162512). | The difference between the circumferential measurements recorded during the 18-month follow-up visit when compared with the subjects' baseline circumferential measurements showed a sustained reduction in the circumference of the abdomen of 2.30 ± 0.51 cm (p < 0.001). The 18-month circumferential-measurement data when compared with the 12-week circumferential-measurement data showed a 0.17 ± 0.49 cm increase in circumference of the abdomen for this cohort of 15 subjects (p = 0.36), suggesting long-term maintenance of reduction. |
| Safety: Incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse effects developing after the final 12-week follow-up visit of C-16-TS11. (At which point all treatment-related expected side effects had resolved without medical intervention). | No treatment-related adverse effects were observed or reported developing after the 12-week follow-up visit of C-16-TS11. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
-
Non-invasive Lipolysis Study (C-17-TS13):
- Sample Size: 12 subjects (92% females, 8% males; aged 24-58 years).
- Data Provenance: Single-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label study conducted in an unspecified country (likely USA, given FDA submission). The study involved subjects scheduled for abdominoplasty surgery, and biopsies were harvested during these surgeries.
-
Long-term Follow-up Circumferential Reduction Study (C-17-TS15):
- Sample Size: 15 subjects were enrolled for the 18-month follow-up (out of 46 potential subjects from the previous study C-16-TS11).
- Data Provenance: Single-center, observational, prospective study. Follow-up data collected 18 months after initial treatment in a previous study (C-16-TS11). Country of origin is unspecified, but likely USA.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
-
Non-invasive Lipolysis Study (C-17-TS13):
- Number of Experts: One
- Qualifications: "board-certified dermatopathologist"
-
Circumferential Reduction Study (C-17-TS15): The ground truth was based on physical measurements (circumferential measurements) taken by study personnel, not interpreted by experts in the same way as histological slides.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Non-invasive Lipolysis Study (C-17-TS13): Not explicitly stated. Given that a single "board-certified dermatopathologist" performed the examination, it implies direct assessment rather than a formal adjudication process between multiple readers. However, the study design included treated vs. contralateral (untreated) control areas on the same subject, effectively allowing for internal comparison.
- Circumferential Reduction Study (C-17-TS15): Not applicable for measurements. The initial C-16-TS11 study (data previously submitted) included comparative outcomes from treatment and sham treatment arms.
5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done to evaluate human readers' improvement with AI vs. without AI assistance. The truSculpt RF device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, but rather a therapeutic device.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
- This question is not applicable as the truSculpt RF is a physical device used by a human practitioner for treatment, not an AI algorithm. The performance studies evaluate the device's effect on patients.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Non-invasive Lipolysis Study (C-17-TS13):
- Ground Truth: Histological evaluation (biopsies examined by a board-certified dermatopathologist) for evidence of adipocyte necrosis and inflammatory response. This is a form of pathology ground truth.
- Circumferential Reduction Study (C-17-TS15):
- Ground Truth: Quantitative physical measurements (circumferential measurements of the abdomen). This is a form of outcomes data.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- The provided text describes clinical studies for validation, not the development of an AI algorithm with a distinct training set. Therefore, this information is not applicable in the context of this device and report.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As this is not an AI/algorithm-based device with a separate training set, this information is not applicable.

Summary of The truSculpt RF Device that is the subject of this submission has identical Technological technological characteristics as the previously cleared truSculpt RF Device Characteristics: and very similar technological characteristics as the Syneron SlimShape System. All three devices are comprised of a console and RF applicator(s). The consoles for all devices consist of a mechanical enclosure, an RF generator, control electronics, a touch-screen user interface, and a control microprocessor. Although the truSculpt RF Device no longer includes an optional vacuum feature (removed in K133739), this difference does not alter the therapeutic effect for the intended use of the device, nor does it raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions, as demonstrated by the clinical study results. The shape and dimensions of the RF applicators of the truSculpt RF Device that is the subject of this submission are identical to those of the previously cleared truSculpt RF Device. Differences in the shape and dimensions of the RF applicators of the truSculpt RF Device and the Syneron SlimShape System do not raise any new or different safety or effectiveness questions, since the device RF applicators have the same or similar energy parameters, are intended for use in the same or similar treatment areas, and are intended for use on the same or similar population. The truSculpt RF Device that is the subject of this submission heats tissue through delivery of RF energy at 1 MHz and 2 MHz, which is identical to the previously cleared truSculpt RF Device. The Syneron SlimShape System also heats tissue through delivery of RF energy at 1 MHz but does not have a 2 MHz option. All three devices use temperature control mechanisms with redundant temperature sensors in the RF applicators to dynamically adjust the RF power delivered to first reach and then maintain therapeutic temperatures to achieve equivalent therapeutic effects, as demonstrated by the clinical study results. The clinical study results confirm that any technological differences between the truSculpt RF Device that is the subject of this submission and its predicates do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions.

Non-invasive Lipolysis Study, C-17-TS13
C-17-TS13 was a single-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label study conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with the Cutera truSculpt RF Device for non-invasive lipolysis in the abdominal region.
Twelve subjects, including Caucasian, Asian and African females (92%) and males (8%), aged 24-58 years (median age: 42), with Fitzpatrick skin types II-VI, who were scheduled to undergo an abdominoplasty surgery were enrolled and received one treatment with the truSculpt RF Device on one abdominal subarea, with the contralateral side abdominal subarea being left untreated to serve as a control. Subjects were assigned to 6 subgroups based upon the timing of their abdominoplasty surgery with respect to the RF treatment date. Up to 2 subjects were enrolled into each subgroup: D0, D10, D20, D30, D60 and D90, where the number refers to the days between RF treatment and the scheduled abdominoplasty surgery date. Biopsies were harvested from the treatment and control abdominal subareas during the abdominoplasty surgery. These biopsies were cultured, stained and examined by a board-certified dermatopathologist leading to the findings summarized below.
Epidermal and dermal tissues were unaffected by RF treatment and were equivalent and indistinguishable in all subject biopsies.
Biopsies from the control areas showed normal subcutaneous adipose tissue structures in all biopsies with no indication of changes from the contralateral RF treatment area.
In contrast, biopsies from the truSculpt RF treatment abdominal areas showed adipocyte necrosis and/or inflammatory immune cell response to the subcutaneous fat. Necrosis was observed immediately and out to sixty days following treatment for six subjects. Necrosis was not present for five subjects, but four of the five subjects not showing necrosis did present inflammatory immune cell response spanning zero to ninety days following treatment. One subject at ten days post treatment did not show any response to treatment.
Acute inflammation was present immediately and out to 20 days following treatment. Peak adipocyte death and fat necrosis was observed 30 days post treatment with approximately 33% of adipocytes affected from just beneath
{6}------------------------------------------------
the dermis up to approximately 1.5 cm beneath the skin surface with no damage seen at the base of the tissue sample (3 cm). Sixty days following treatment, fat necrosis is still present although confined to small, focal areas with less than 20% of the subcutaneous affected. At the final ninety day time point, there was minimal inflammation comprised of few lymphocytes and neutrophils.
All subjects experienced transient mild to moderate erythema and edema post treatment. For eleven subjects, the mild to moderate erythema and edema resolved in 1-4 hours. One subject reported moderate erythema. mild edema and mild post-treatment pain, which persisted for 1 day.
The study results demonstrate that RF treatment with the truSculpt RF Device consistently leads to discrete areas of fat necrosis within the subcutaneous tissue. The effect is present solely in the subcutaneous tissue, while the dermal and epidermal layers remain unaffected by treatment.

Long-term Follow-up Circumferential Reduction Study, C-17-TS15
C-17-TS15 was a single-center, observational, prospective study of subjects, aged 24-60 years at the time of RF treatment, who completed participation in the Treatment Group of Protocol C-16-TS11 "Pivotal Study of the truSculpt Radiofrequency Device for Circumferential Reduction" (46 subjects in total; and the maximum potential enrollment for this study) for sustained long-term circumferential reduction.
Data from protocol C-16-TS11 comparing subject outcomes from the treatment and sham treatment study arms were previously submitted under K162512, resulting in FDA clearance of a new indication for use for the truSculpt RF Device: "temporary reduction in circumference of the abdomen".
{8}------------------------------------------------
All potential subjects were contacted in no fewer than five attempts by phone calls, emails, and/or texts and were invited to participate in a new study involving one study visit: 18 months ± 2 months following their original treatment under study Protocol C-16-TS11. Of the forty-six potential subjects: two were not able to be contacted; four were not interested in participating; six were unable to participate because of relocation, travel or work constraints; nine were excluded as they had elected to have additional truSculpt RF treatments of the abdomen and flanks for further circumferential reduction after being released from study C-16-TS11 restrictions; three were excluded for various exclusion criteria (pregnancy, medical condition, and abdominal surgerv. respectively): and the remaining twenty-two subiects were scheduled for screening visits. Of the twenty-two subjects screened, seven had weight changes beyond ± 5% of baseline weight and were therefore deemed to have not met an inclusion criterion and excused prior to enrollment. The remaining fifteen subjects (32.6% of potential subjects) were enrolled.
The circumferential measurements recorded during the 18-month follow-up visit for the 15 subjects enrolled in C-17-TS15, when compared with the subjects' baseline circumferential measurements recorded and reported in C-16-TS11, demonstrated a statistical-significant, sustained reduction in the circumference of the abdomen of 2.30 ± 0.51 cm (SEM; p < 0.001).
No treatment-related adverse effects were observed or reported developing after the 12-week follow-up visit of C-16-TS11, at which point all treatmentrelated expected side effects had resolved without medical intervention.
