AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the INTRAcel RF Microneedle System:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state a "test set" in the context of clinical images or patient data that would require sample sizes and data provenance like country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature. The studies described are primarily non-clinical, focusing on device performance, electrical safety, biocompatibility, and software validation.

  • Animal Performance Testing (Wound Healing): The "study was conducted to see the wound healing response following FRM treatment for both human and porcine skin." While human skin is mentioned, the detailed procedural description (biopsy time points, H&E, HSP47, RT-PCR) is for "Micro-pig covering 10 weeks." The specific number of human or porcine subjects is not provided. The study appears to be prospective as it involves active treatment and observation over time.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

This information is not provided in the document. The studies detailed are technical (electrical, biocompatibility, software) or animal studies for wound healing, which do not typically involve human expert adjudication for ground truth establishing in the sense of medical image interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable/provided for the types of studies performed (technical bench testing, software validation, animal studies). There's no indication of a test set requiring adjudication in the context of expert consensus.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study and Effect Size

A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed or reported in this document. The device is an electrocoagulation and microneedling system; therefore, its performance is assessed directly through physical and electrical properties, biological safety, and tissue response, rather than as an aid to human interpretation like an AI diagnostic tool.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

This concept is not applicable to the INTRAcel RF Microneedle System in the way it's usually applied to AI diagnostic algorithms. The device itself is an active treatment device, not a diagnostic algorithm. The software validation mentioned is for the control and functionality of the device, implying a "standalone" software performance in terms of controlling the hardware as intended, rather than interpreting medical data.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For Electrical Safety & EMC: Ground truth would be defined by the specifications and pass/fail criteria of the referenced international standards (IEC 60601 series).
  • For Performance Testing: Ground truth would be defined by the device's design specifications and expected functional outputs (e.g., specific power output, tip count accuracy).
  • For Biocompatibility Testing: Ground truth is established by the results of standardized biological tests (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity) against acceptance criteria for biocompatible materials.
  • For Sterilization & Shelf Life: Ground truth is established by the ability to achieve sterility (e.g., meeting sterility assurance levels) and maintain device integrity/functionality over time via accelerated aging.
  • For Software Verification & Validation: Ground truth is the established "Software Design Specifications" — the software's ability to operate the device as programmed and safely (per the "moderate" level of concern).
  • For Animal Performance Testing (Wound Healing): Ground truth is established through histological examination (H&E, HSP47 stain) and molecular analysis (RT-PCR for mRNA changes in collagen, HSPs, MMPs) of biopsied tissue, documenting physiological wound healing responses at different time points and energy levels.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not provided and is specifically irrelevant as the document describes a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set of data. The software mentioned handles device control, not predictive modeling or classification.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML model for this device.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The INTRAcel RF Microneedle System is indicated for use in dermatological and general surgical procedures. INTRAcel RF Microneedle System comprises of two primary components; an RF Generator with User Interface Software and a disposable Electrode Insertion Device with an integrated cable.

RF Generator: RF energy is delivered from the RF Generator through the electrodes into the target tissue. Treatment is provided in bipolar mode and monopolar mode. In the monopolar mode, RF energy flows from the main unit and a patient loop is formed by pairing the active electrode (microneedle electrode) with the neutral electrode pad. Heat is not generated in a neutral electrode plate which has a low contact resistance but heat is generated in an active electrode which has a relatively large contact resistance and this heat momentarily causes tissue to heat up to cause coagulation. The bipolar RF energy is delivered between independent adjacent electrode pairs. The RF Generator is not disposable.

Electrode Insertion Device: The insertion device is a hand-held mechanical device that is used to insert the electrodes into the target tissue. It is supplied sterile, is for single patient use only and cannot be resterilized. The device has forty-nine electrodes. The device has a mechanism to deploy and retract the electrodes when actuated by the operator.

Cable: There is a cable with a connector that connects to the RF Generator. The RF Generator is the energy source for the system.

Accessories: Cables, neutral electrode pad, neutral electrode pad cable, footswitch, and power cord are also supplied with the system.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

VIII. 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." The software for this device was considered as "moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software would not directly or indirectly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator.

ANIMAL PERFORMANCE TESTING IX.

A study was conducted to see the wound healing response following FRM treatment for both human and porcine skin. Healing responses were observed by the time after Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (FRM) treatment at various energy levels. Biopsy was conducted to see the wound healing process immediately after the treatment, 2days, 14days, 28days, and 10 weeks post the treatment. H&E stain and HSP47 stain were conducted to see the changes in inflammatory cell, collagen. Also, the study has conducted RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction) with the tissue biopsied from Micro-pig covering 10 weeks to see mRNA change of collagen, Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs).

CONCLUSION X.

The INTRAcel RF Microneedle System is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device in Indications for Use, key technological characteristics of the Electrosurgical Unit (ESU) and operating principle. Safety and performance testing was performed and Jeisys Medical Inc. has concluded that the Subject Device does not raise any new questions of safety and efficacy and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
