The summary describes a mechanical device for releasing subcutaneous tissue and does not mention any AI/ML components or image processing.
Yes.
The device is intended for "long term improvement in the appearance of cellulite", which is a medical condition, and it aims to "provide precise focal release of subcutaneous tissue" to achieve this improvement. These actions constitute a therapeutic intervention.
No
The Cellfina System is intended for long-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite, which is a treatment or cosmetic purpose rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states the system consists of a sterile, single-use, disposable kit and an electromechanical, non-sterile motor module, indicating hardware components are integral to the device's function.
Based on the provided information, the Cellfina System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "long term improvement in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thigh areas of adult females." This describes a therapeutic or aesthetic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device description details a system for "precise focal release of subcutaneous tissue." This is a physical intervention on the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health status. The Cellfina System is a device used for a physical treatment on the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Cellfina System is intended for long term improvement in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thigh areas of adult females as supported by clinical data demonstrating no significant reduction in treatment benefits through five years of observation.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical Performance Data (In-Vivo): The safety and effectiveness of the Cellfina System was evaluated in a pivotal clinical study conducted under IDE G120116. No additional treatments were performed at any follow-up time points. The overall study success was met (as defined within the protocol), despite the reduction in follow up participation at 5 years with a clinically significant, long term improvement in the appearance of cellulite in the treated subjects as shown within Table 05-1.
Study Design: Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized open label, safety and effectiveness study
Sample Size: 55 Subjects participated in the baseline assessment and treatment
Follow up (N): 3 Day (55), 14 Day (54), 1 Month(54), 3Month (55), 6 Month (52), 1 year (50), 2 year (52), 3 year (45), 5 year (37)
Primary Endpoint result at 5 years: The primary endpoint was met: achievement of ≥1 point average reduction in the 0-5 point Cellulite Severity Scale as determined by independent physician assessment of subject photographs taken before and (5 years) after treatment. The mean improvement was 1.8 points (p60% of treated subjects as determined by independent physician assessment of subject photographs taken before and 5 years after treatment. 86.5% of treated subjects had ≥1-grade improvement with a 95% lower confidence limit of 74.7%.
Primary Safety Result: The safety endpoint was met: 100% of subjects were free from Serious Adverse Events (SAE) directly attributable to the Cellfina System or procedure at 5 years
Additional Measures: All additional secondary measures were also achieved or acceptable at the 5 year time point: The mean overall rate of correct selection was 92.8% with a lower 95% confidence limit of 86.3%. 100% of the subjects had noticeable improvement by the GAIS and 35% were characterized as having Much Improved or Very Much Improved. 78% of the subjects were either Satisfied or Very Satisfied. No subjects reported pain in the treatment area using an 11-point numerical rating scale at the 5-year follow-up visit.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison:
The subject device remains unchanged from the predicate device. There has been no design, material, shelf life, cleaning and disinfection, software, or packaging updates since the predicate 510(k) submission (K161885). The subject device instructions for use have been updated to reflect compliance to IEC 60601-1-2 and to include the expanded indications for use statement.
Non-clinical Performance Data:
There have been no device changes to the subject device since the predicate device 510(k) K161885 submission. As such, all non-clinical performance data presented within the predicate device submission remains applicable to the subject device.
The only non-clinical performance data included in this submission is updated electromechanical safety testing. The predicate device of this Traditional 510(k) submission was compliant to IEC 60601-1-2:2007 3rd Edition; however, the subject device is now compliant to IEC 60601-1-2:2014 4th Edition.
Clinical Performance Data (In-Vivo):
The safety and effectiveness of the Cellfina System was evaluated in a pivotal clinical study conducted under IDE G120116. No additional treatments were performed at any followup time points. The overall study success was met (as defined within the protocol), despite the reduction in follow up participation at 5 years with a clinically significant, long term improvement in the appearance of cellulite in the treated subjects as shown within Table 05-1.

and thigh areas of adult females as supported by clinical data demonstrating no significant reduction in treatment benefits through five years of observation.
No design modifications to the Cellfina System motor module (CM1) or disposable kit (CK1) have occurred since the predicate device submission, 510(k) K161885. Updated labeling has been provided as part of this 510(k) submission for updated compliance to IEC 60601-1-2:2014.
These updated indications for use and labeling do not pose any new questions of safety, product output or efficacy. The subject device Cellfina System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device (K161885), and as such, is substantially equivalent.
