The document does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for algorithms. The device description focuses on RF energy delivery and temperature monitoring, which are traditional medical device technologies.
Yes.
The device is intended for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain and increase in local circulation, and also for circumference reduction and non-invasive lipolysis, which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is intended for therapeutic purposes, such as pain relief, increased local circulation, reduction in circumference, non-invasive lipolysis, and temporary reduction of cellulite, rather than for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a console, RF handpieces, and a mechanical roller, all of which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses described are for topical heating of tissue for pain relief and increased circulation, reduction in circumference of the abdomen, non-invasive lipolysis, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. These are all therapeutic or aesthetic treatments performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device delivers RF energy to heat tissue and includes a mechanical roller for massage. This is consistent with a device used for physical treatment, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is to apply energy and/or mechanical action to the body.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Two prospective IRB-approved clinical studies were conducted with the truSculpt RF Device on the intended population to gather clinical data needed to support the revised indications for use.
Non-invasive Lipolysis Study, C-17-TS13
- Study type: 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.
- Sample Size: 12 subjects enrolled
- Key Results:
- Efficacy: 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 in all biopsies with no indication of changes from the contralateral RF treatment area. 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.
- Safety: No adverse events were observed. The immediate responses included mild to moderate erythema and edema, which resolved with no intervention. 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.
Long-term Follow-up Circumferential Reduction Study, C-17-TS15
- Study type: 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.
- Sample Size: 46 subjects in total; 15 subjects enrolled for long-term circumferential reduction
- Key Results:
- Efficacy: 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

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
