When the electrode is in contact with a patient the electrical circuit is closed and RF therapy can be provided. The device can be operated in capacitive and resistive monopolar modes. The Diacare 7000 consists of a power console on LCD monitor, and accessories including capacitive and resistive bipolar and monopolar electrodes. The unit can be adjusted to provide various levels of treatment from 400 KHz to 1.2 MHz.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the "Diacare 7000" device, which is an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device. The purpose of this submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Winback 3SE, K162828).

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Diacare 7000

The acceptance criteria for the Diacare 7000 are not explicitly stated in numerical terms (e.g., a specific power output range that must be met) as would be the case for traditional performance metrics. Instead, the focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device in terms of intended use, operating principle, functionality, and safety. The performance is assessed through non-clinical testing to ensure it functions as intended and safely.

The document highlights the similarity of the Diacare 7000 to its predicate (Winback 3SE) across various technical characteristics and features. The "acceptance" can be inferred from the FDA's clearance, which indicates that the provided data satisfactorily demonstrates substantial equivalence.

Here's an attempt to structure the information based on the request, inferring criteria from the comparison and testing described:

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions "Studies were performed using volunteers of varying skin colors to assess the capacity of the device to elevate tissue temperature in the treatment areas." However, it does not specify the exact number of volunteers (sample size) used for these tissue temperature elevation assessments.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Given the nature of a 510(k) summary, clinical studies often involve prospective data collection, but details are not provided. The testing appears to be internal non-clinical testing for device performance and safety.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k). The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a physical therapy device (diathermy) through engineering and safety testing, not AI/imaging diagnostics that would require expert reads for ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

As this is not a diagnostic study requiring human expert interpretation, an adjudication method is not applicable. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, temperature elevation) is based on established engineering standards and physical measurements.

5. MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study

An MRMC (Multi-Reader Multi-Case) comparative effectiveness study is not applicable. This type of study is used for evaluating human reader performance with and without AI assistance, typically in an imaging diagnostic context. The Diacare 7000 is a physical therapy device, not an AI diagnostic tool.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

This concept is not applicable as the Diacare 7000 is a physical device, not a standalone algorithm. Its performance is evaluated as an integrated system.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance and safety testing was established through:

  • Compliance with recognized international standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series for electrical safety and EMC, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility).
  • Direct physical measurements and observations during testing (e.g., successful operation as designed, temperature elevation in volunteers).
  • Risk analyses and software verification/validation against pre-defined safety and performance requirements.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

There is no mention of a "training set" in this document. This term typically refers to data used to train machine learning models. The Diacare 7000 is a hardware device with associated software, not an AI/ML product that learns from a training set.

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

As there is no training set mentioned, this point is not applicable.
