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.
The Cellfina System is intended to provide precise focal release of subcutaneous tissue for improvement in the appearance of cellulite. The system consists of a sterile, single-use, disposable kit (CK1) and an electromechanical, non-sterile, 50-use motor module (CM1).
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for The Cellfina System, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Endpoint) | Reported Device Performance at 5 Years |
|---|---|
| Primary Endpoint: 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 (p<0.0001) with a 97.5% upper confidence limit improvement of 1.4 points. (Met) |
| Secondary Efficacy Endpoint: Improvement of one grade or more in severity (none, mild, moderate, severe) in >60% 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%. (Met) |
| Primary Safety Result: 100% of subjects free from Serious Adverse Events (SAE) directly attributable to the Cellfina System or procedure at 5 years. | 100% of subjects were free from Serious Adverse Events (SAE) directly attributable to the Cellfina System or procedure at 5 years. (Met) |
| Additional Measures: Mean overall rate of correct selection (likely referring to identification of improvement by independent assessors)100% of subjects had noticeable improvement by the GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale)35% of subjects characterized as having "Much Improved" or "Very Much Improved" by GAIS78% of subjects 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. | The mean overall rate of correct selection was 92.8% with a lower 95% confidence limit of 86.3%. (Achieved/Acceptable)100% of the subjects had noticeable improvement by the GAIS. (Achieved/Acceptable)35% were characterized as having Much Improved or Very Much Improved. (Achieved/Acceptable)78% of the subjects were either Satisfied or Very Satisfied. (Achieved/Acceptable)No subjects reported pain in the treatment area using an 11-point numerical rating scale at the 5-year follow-up visit. (Achieved/Acceptable) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
-
Sample Size for Test Set:
- 55 subjects participated in the baseline assessment and treatment.
- Follow-up progressively decreased: 3 Day (55), 14 Day (54), 1 Month (54), 3 Month (55), 6 Month (52), 1 year (50), 2 year (52), 3 year (45), 5 year (37). The primary and secondary endpoints are reported at 5 years, so the effective sample size for the long-term evaluation is 37.
-
Data Provenance:
- Study Design: Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized open label, safety and effectiveness study.
- Country of Origin: Not explicitly stated in the provided text, but "multi-center" implies it was conducted at several clinical sites.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- The text refers to "independent physician assessment" for determining the Cellulite Severity Scale and classifying improvement. However, it does not specify the number of physicians or their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience, specialty).
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- The text states "independent physician assessment." It does not explicitly describe an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1 (where multiple readers might assess independently and then a tie-breaker or consensus is used). It implies individual independent assessments were used to determine the Cellulite Severity Scale and photographic improvement.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with AI assistance was not done. The Cellfina System is a physical medical device (powered surgical instrument) for treating cellulite, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. The assessments described are of the device's clinical efficacy on patients, conducted by physicians.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. As mentioned, The Cellfina System is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI. The study evaluated the device's performance in patients.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The ground truth for effectiveness was primarily established by independent physician assessment of subject photographs, utilizing a Cellulite Severity Scale and classifying improvement grades.
- For safety, it was based on outcomes data regarding the absence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) attributable to the device or procedure.
- Additionally, patient-reported outcomes (GAIS, satisfaction, pain levels) were also collected as secondary measures.
8. The sample size for the training set
- The provided document describes a clinical study to evaluate the performance of the Cellfina System. It does not mention a "training set" in the context of an algorithm or AI model development. Therefore, no information is available on a "training set sample size" as this device is not an AI/ML product.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Since the device is not an AI/ML product, there is no "training set" or "ground truth for the training set" as would be applicable to such products. The clinical study described is for evaluating the device's clinical performance directly.

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.
