The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is indicated for the "temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pain, temporary relief of muscle spasm, and temporary improvement of local blood circulation," all of which are therapeutic purposes.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is indicated for "temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pain, temporary relief of muscle spasm, and temporary improvement of local blood circulation," which describes therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as an AC/DC power supply unit, RF generators, a console, applicators, cables, and a user interface with an LCD touch screen. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software for control and user interaction, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pain, temporary relief of muscle spasm, and temporary improvement of local blood circulation. These are therapeutic and physiological effects, not diagnostic tests performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device delivers non-thermal RF energy to the skin and subdermal fat. This is a physical treatment method, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
- No mention of analyzing samples: The description does not mention collecting or analyzing any biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is a core characteristic of IVD devices.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Non-Clinical (Bench) Performance Data:
In order to evaluate the similarities of the subject and predicate applicator electrodes in terms of heat transfer/heat loss and temperature stability, the company had performed temperature build up test.
6
The results of these tests, measured at two different RF outputs levels (30W and 50W), showed similar temperature build up. This is mainly due to the fact that both the subject and predicate devices deliver the same RF output power and that their electrodes geometry is identical.
Pre-Clinical (Animal) Performance Data:
The EmFace Device with the Cheek and Chin Applicators was evaluated for its thermal effect in an ex-vivo animal study model. The device safety assessment included tissue vitality evaluation and tissue temperature profiling following a single treatment with either the Cheek or Chin Applicators on porcine tissue. The device applicators were operated in different power outputs for the recommended treatment time. The study results revealed no signs of tissue necrosis in all of the animal tissues treated with the device applicators in all power levels. The measured temperature on tissue surface was around 43ºC and lower in deeper tissue layers following the treatment with the device applicators in all power levels.
Clinical Performance Data:
The EmFace Device with the Cheek and Chin Applicators was further evaluated for its safe performance on thirty eligible human subject participants with different age, gender, and Fitzpatrick skin types.
The study consisted of a single treatment followed by immediate photography and thermal measurements of the treatment area per each applicator treatment. Skin observation was done immediately and 24h post treatment and was extended up to 48h following treatment to assess possible skin transient response. Subjects were treated on their Cheek facial area with the Cheek Applicator and on their Chin facial area with the Chin Applicator. Treatment included a maximal number of applicator units according to area size, utilizing maximal RF power setting (50W), at the highest cut-off temperature value (43ºC).
The study results clearly show the safe use of the EmFace Device with the Cheek and the Chin Applicators for its intended use while utilized in accordance with the device operator manual treatment instructions. The temperature measurements along with the skin observation for adverse events show that the treatment methodology of both EmFace Device Applicators contribute for the same thermal outcomes obtained by using the respective predicate device for the same intended use. The safe use of the EmFace Device Applicators was shown on all potential end-users with different age, gender and skin type. No adverse events were reported in this study and the skin thermal profile showed a desirable temperature level of around 43ºC. Most of the subjects endured the maximal

The device classification and indications for use of the EmFace Device are substantially equivalent to the device classification and indications for use of the predicate device.
The technological characteristics of the subject device is based on that of the predicate device. The EmFace Device comprises similar platform components; AC/DC power supply unit, RF generators, controller and user interface including an LCD touch screen. The EmFace Device design mainly differentiate from its predicate device with the option to perform a hands-free treatment using multiple applicator units, operated sequentially. The device is provided with three units of the Chin applicator and eight units of the Cheek (4 on each cheek side) applicator. With this design change, the applicators' performance specifications, mainly the RF frequency and electrical power, pulse duration, were left unchanged, but the treatment technique has been modified to provide the same performance outcomes to the target area; warm heating of the skin and subdermal layers by non-thermal RF energy. In order to support this design change, a few platform modifications were made including an additional RF generator and an increased input current of 4A to support the multi applicator unit's functionality and an upgrade in system software and hardware components to support the aforementioned change. The EmFace Device is backed up with the safety features as applied in the predicate device systems. The EmFace Device was tested and complies with the safety and EMC standards as requested for RF technology-based devices. The EmFace Device with the Cheek and Chin Applicators was further evaluated for its safe performance in bench temperature build up tests, ex-vivo Animal study and in a human clinical study. The results of these studies demonstrated that the EmFace Device is safe for use as intended and that the minor design differences between the subject and predicate device, mainly in the treatment methodology, do not raise any new safety or effectiveness concerns.
Consequently, it can be concluded that the EmFace Device is substantially equivalent to the InMode PLUS System predicate device, FDA cleared under 510(k) file no. K153568.
Conclusions:
Based on the comparison to the predicate device and on the bench, non-clinical and clinical performance testing results demonstrating that the EmFace Device is as safe and effective as the predicate device, it can be concluded that the EmFace Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and therefore, may be legally marketed in the USA.
