Intended Use
  1. Application of non-thermal radio frequency for relief of minor muscle aches and pains, relief of muscle spasm, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
  2. Application of ultrasound for non-invasive reduction in abdominal circumference on adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or greater.
Device Description

The Ultimate Contour is a medical device that combines the technologies of radio-frequency energy and ultrasound in one convenient unit. The Ultimate Contour utilizes a single power source and control circuitry that directs the emission of energy based on which operating screen is selected and which applicator handpiece is attached to the unit's delivery cable. Based on the attached handpiece, the Ultimate Contour delivers to the handpiece of the appropriate energy intensity based on the settings selected.

Delivered radio frequency energy is accomplished with the multi-nodal RF handpiece that contains RF energy to the treatment area and works to gently heat the tissue to induce collagen contraction and increase local circulation. The elevated temperature further works to provide temporary relief from pain and muscle spasms. The unit features an interactive color LCD touchscreen for adjusting device settings, as well as for viewing onboard tutorial videos.

Delivered ultrasound is accomplished with a piezo transducer located in the ultrasound handpiece that is bonded to the handpiece contact surface. The handpiece is applied directly to the patient skin at the abdominal area and the emitted ultrasound energy focuses within the subdermal fatty tissue, causing reduction in waist circumference.

The unit features an interactive color LCD touchscreen for adjusting device settings, as well as for viewing onboard tutorial videos.

The device is presented as two model (005-00035) is an integrated free-standing system. The second model (005-00036) is a portable, table-top style units feature exactly the same internal electronics and components, the exact same software, the exact same attachments and accessories, and the exact same environment of use. The models differ only in the shape and dimensions of the mechanical enclosure of the control unit.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on acceptance criteria and the study proving device compliance, as requested:

Device: Ultimate Contour, Ultimate Contour Mini


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for performance in a tabular format. However, it implicitly defines the effectiveness acceptance criterion through the primary effectiveness endpoint of the clinical study.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Achieve a waist circumference reduction of at least 1 inch for non-invasive reduction in abdominal circumference on adults with a BMI of 25 or greater.Achieved an average circumference reduction of 2.0 inches, which was statistically significant compared to the 1.0-inch threshold (p=0.05).
Safety Endpoint: Acceptable safety profile with no serious or significant adverse events.Most adverse events (skin rash, changes in bowel movement, urine consistency) resolved within 1-2 days or with over-the-counter products. 7 subjects reported ringing/buzzing, 2 discontinued, but follow-up audiology showed no worsening. No serious adverse events mentioned.

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: 42 subjects completed the treatment regimen.
  • Data Provenance: The study was a "single-site single-arm study." The country of origin or specific demographic details beyond "majority of study subjects were Caucasian females" are not explicitly stated. It was a prospective study as it involved treating subjects and then evaluating outcomes.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish a ground truth for the test set. For the primary effectiveness endpoint (waist circumference reduction), measurements were conducted by clinicians, but their specific qualifications or the number involved are not provided. The information only states: "Clinicians were blinded relative to measuring pre-treatment and post-treatment."


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). It states that "Clinicians were blinded relative to measuring pre-treatment and post-treatment," implying that a single clinician or a group of clinicians performed measurements, but there's no mention of a consensus or adjudication process if discrepancies arose.


5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of Human Readers Improving with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance for human readers was not conducted or reported in this document. The device is a direct treatment device (radiofrequency and ultrasound for aesthetic/therapeutic purposes), not an AI diagnostic or assistive tool for clinicians interpreting data.


6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

This question is not applicable to the device described. The "Ultimate Contour" is a physical medical device that applies energy (RF and ultrasound) directly to the patient, not an algorithm that functions standalone or with human-in-the-loop. Its performance is measured by its direct effect on the patient (e.g., waist circumference reduction).


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the effectiveness endpoint was established by clinically meaningful waist circumference reduction measurements. This was defined as "a value of at least 1 inch of waist circumference reduction of the treatment regimen," and this clinically meaningful value was "identified based on published studies utilizing other devices for the same purpose."

For safety, the ground truth was observed adverse events and serious adverse events reported by subjects and assessed by the study team.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a training set in the context of device performance or clinical evaluation. The device is not an AI/ML product that typically requires a training set. The clinical study described involved direct treatment of subjects.


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

As no training set is mentioned as being applicable to this device or its evaluation, this question is not applicable.

The submitted device is used by the same type of operator as the predicate devices. The submitted device provides for similar user interface and control mechanisms as the predicate devices. Ultrasound component of subject device has technological differences to compare to the predicate. Pre-clinical performance testing was performed to evaluate substantial equivalence of ultrasound component to the predicate.

Performance Data:

ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

The Ultimate Contour is demonstrated to comply with the performance requirements of IEC 60601-1: 3ª Edition, IEC 60601-1-2: 3rd Edition with gap analysis to 4th Edition, and IEC 60601-1-6.

PERFORMANCE BENCH TESTING

Bench testing per internal verification testing demonstrates that the Ultimate Contour meets the essential performance requirements established for the device, including measurements of the radio frequency power

{6}------------------------------------------------

generated, and essential aspects of hardware and software performance. The software of this device is stated as a Major level of concern since failure of the software could present significant risk to the patient. All essential functions are demonstrated to work according to design specifications.

BIOCOMPATIBILITY

Materials used in the patient-contacting portions of this device are equivalent to legally marketed reference devices listed above that incorporate patient-contacting articles used for contacting similar tissues.

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING

A clinical evaluation of the device on a representation of the intended population was performed in a single-site single-arm study. The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the device in waist circumference reduction. A total of 42 subjects completed the treatment regimen of the device with one week between each treatment, and 1-week follow ups. The safety analysis included all subjects who participated at any point during the course of the study. Effectiveness was gauged by determining if waist circumference reduction was achieved relative to a value identified as clinically meaningful, a value of at least 1 inch of waist circumference reduction of the treatment regimen. The clinically meaningful value was identified based on published studies utilizing other devices for the same purpose. Measurements were conducted prior to and after each treatment, and at the 1-week follow-up visits. Clinicians were blinded relative to measuring pre-treatment and post-treatment.

The study included subjects age 18 or older who met all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. The majority of study subjects were Caucasian females. Mean age of the subjects was 42.8 years. Mean baseline waist circumference prior to the first treatment was measured at 40.95 inches, and an average initial BMI of 29.36. The primary effectiveness endpoint measured the difference between waist circumference prior to the first treatment with the device. The safety endpoint assessed all adverse events and serious adverse events occurring during the study.

The study results for the primary endpoint demonstrated an average circumference reduction of 2.0 inches to the 4-week follow up visit, which was statistically significant compared to the target threshold of 1.0 inches (p=0.05). The greatest circumference reduction for this period was measured at 3.75 inches, and the least circumference reduction was measured at 0.75 inches. T-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests demonstrated that the data can be considered normally distributed. Correlation analysis comparing the baseline measurements and 4-week follow-up measurements returned a correlation score of 0.9901. With all missing data imputed with a least-favorable regimen outcome (0.75 inch reduction), the effect of device treatment on circumference reduction remained greater than the 1.0 inch reduction threshold. The treatment was administered without anesthetic. 7 subjects reported a sensation of ringing or buzzing in the ears, which was substantial enough to cause 2 of the subjects to discontinue participation. Follow-up audiology assessment with these subjects identified no substantial or worsening audible capabilities. Most adverse events resolved within 1-2 days after the treatment. These included skin rash, changes in bowel movement, and changes in urine consistency. The events were either self-resolved with the use of over-the-counter products.

Conclusion:

Comparison of subject and predicate devices identified technological similarities and differences. Performance testing was performed to evaluate substantial equivalence of dissimilar technological characteristics. Based on technological comparison to predicate devices and the results of pre-clinical performance testing, the Ultimate Contour device is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
