The description focuses on electrosurgical and helium plasma technology for thermal treatment, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.
Yes
The device is described as an electrosurgical device for dermatological procedures for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides, which constitutes a medical treatment.
No
The device is described as an electrosurgical device for dermatological procedures, specifically for the treatment of wrinkles and rhytides, through controlled heating of the skin. Its function is to deliver thermal energy to tissue for therapeutic effect, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is an electrosurgical handpiece, which is a hardware component, and part of a larger system including a generator, foot switch, helium source, and grounding pad.
Based on the provided information, the Renuvion® Dermal System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "dermatological procedures for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides." This is a therapeutic application performed directly on a patient's skin.
- Device Description: The description details an electrosurgical device that delivers thermal energy to tissue through a helium plasma beam. This is a physical intervention on the body.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. IVDs are designed for testing samples in vitro (in glass).
Therefore, the Renuvion® Dermal System is a therapeutic medical device used for a dermatological procedure, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Two pre-clinical animal studies were conducted to establish the equivalence between the subject device and the predicate device, NeoGen® PSR System by Energist (formerly the Portrait PSR System by Rhytec). These pre-clinical studies were designed to provide a measurement (using histology under magnification) of the thermal damage zone (i.e., coagulation necrosis) on live porcine skin tissue at their minimum and maximum recommended power settings for dermatological wrinkle reduction procedures for moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides.
These two (2) pre-clinical studies demonstrated that the depth of thermal effect for the Renuvion® Dermal System (subject Device) was less than or comparable to the depth of thermal effect for the predicate NeoGen PSR system in a porcine model.
The clinical performance of the subject device (Renuvion® Dermal Handpiece) is supported by the results of a Clinical IDE study performed (G170151) using the subject device. This clinical study was a prospective, multicenter, single arm clinical study evaluating the use of the Renuvion® Dermal System for dermatological wrinkle reduction conducted at 3 investigational centers in the United States as an evaluator-blinded prospective study of 55 study subjects who were seeking a procedure for the purpose of improving facial appearance by reducing facial wrinkles and rhytides. Each study subject received one single-pass fullface treatment with the Renuvion® Dermal System.
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: The primary effectiveness endpoint was the proportion of subjects with at least one-point improvement from Baseline in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (FWS) at 90-days post-procedure as determined by 2 out of 3 blinded Independent Photographic Reviewers (IPR) assessment of photographs.
Result: Of 55 subjects treated. 92.7% (51/55) were scored to have at least a one-point improvement, 25.5% were scored to have at least a two- point improvement, and 5.5% were scored to have at least a three-point improvement on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (FWS) at 90 days as determined by Independent Photographic Reviewers (IPRs).
Primary Safety Endpoint: The primary safety endpoint was the evaluation of adverse events up to the 3-month visit following the procedure.
Result: The study reported no serious adverse events (SAEs) related to the study device or procedure, and adverse events (AEs) were in line with the expectations of dermatological wrinkle reduction procedures involving the application of controlled heat to the epidermis to selectively render it non-viable with subsequent thermal modification of the underlying dermis to prompt a healing response. The most common events reported were, edema, erythema, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The rate of AEs for the subject device is consistent with the expected range that has been observed for the predicate device, as reported in the literature. Based on the clinical performance as documented in the clinical study (G170151), the Renuvion® Dermal System was found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is consistent with other legally marketed dermatological wrinkle reduction technologies such as the predicate device.
Conclusion: The clinical study demonstrated both safety and effectiveness, as endpoints related to effectiveness were met and there were no serious adverse events reported related to the study device or procedure. The risks and AE profile are comparable between the subject device and what is reported in published literature for the predicate device as long as the recommended treatment parameters are followed. The effectiveness outcomes are as good or better for the subject device as compared to the predicate device.

5. Pre-Clinical & Animal Studies
Two pre-clinical animal studies were conducted to establish the equivalence between the subject device and the predicate device, NeoGen® PSR System by Energist (formerly the Portrait PSR System by Rhytec). These pre-clinical studies were designed to provide a measurement (using histology under magnification) of the thermal damage zone (i.e., coagulation necrosis) on live porcine skin tissue at their minimum and maximum recommended power settings for dermatological wrinkle reduction procedures for moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides.
These two (2) pre-clinical studies demonstrated that the depth of thermal effect for the Renuvion® Dermal System (subject Device) was less than or comparable to the depth of thermal effect for the predicate NeoGen PSR system in a porcine model. The results of these pre-clinical studies support the safety and substantial equivalence of the Renuvion® Dermal System for dermatological wrinkle reduction procedures in comparison to the predicate nitrogen plasma technology (NeoGen PSR System, K132754).
6. Human Clinical Trials
The clinical performance of the subject device (Renuvion® Dermal Handpiece) is supported by the results of a Clinical IDE study performed (G170151) using the subject device. This clinical study was a prospective, multicenter, single arm clinical study evaluating the use of the Renuvion® Dermal System for dermatological wrinkle reduction conducted at 3 investigational centers in the United States as an evaluator-blinded prospective study of 55 study subjects who were seeking a procedure for the purpose of improving facial appearance by reducing facial wrinkles and rhytides.

Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: The primary effectiveness endpoint was the proportion of subjects with at least one-point improvement from Baseline in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (FWS) at 90-days post-procedure as determined by 2 out of 3 blinded Independent Photographic Reviewers (IPR) assessment of photographs.
Primary Safety Endpoint: The primary safety endpoint was the evaluation of adverse events up to the 3-month visit following the procedure.
a. Effectiveness Results
Of 55 subjects treated. 92.7% (51/55) were scored to have at least a one-point improvement, 25.5% were scored to have at least a two- point improvement, and 5.5% were scored to have at least a three-point improvement on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (FWS) at 90 days as determined by Independent Photographic Reviewers (IPRs).

b. Safety Results
The study reported no serious adverse events (SAEs) related to the study device or procedure, and adverse events (AEs) were in line with the expectations of dermatological wrinkle reduction procedures involving the application of controlled heat to the epidermis to selectively render it non-viable with subsequent thermal modification of the underlying dermis to prompt a healing response. The most common events reported were, edema, erythema, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The rate of AEs for the subject device is consistent with the expected range that has been observed for the predicate device, as reported in the literature. Based on the clinical performance as documented in the clinical study (G170151), the Renuvion® Dermal System was found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is consistent with other legally marketed dermatological wrinkle reduction technologies such as the predicate device.

The adverse events were comparable to those reported for the predicate device and fully ablative dermatological wrinkle reduction procedures in general using other FDA-cleared energybased modalities as long as the recommended treatment parameters are followed.

- These data support the proposed Indications for Use of the product and substantial equivalence to the predicate device (Energist NeoGen Nitrogen Plasma K132754) for a 510(k) submission.
Based on the totality of data (safety variables and success criteria), there is sufficient assurance that safety and effectiveness has been demonstrated and clinically meaningful benefits have been observed in a majority of subjects. The safety and effectiveness conclusions drawn from the clinical studies demonstrate that there is statistically significant data to support the safety, effectiveness, and performance of the Renuvion® Dermal System for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and rhytides in patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I, II or III and the benefits of Renuvion outweigh the risks. The subject device clinical study results, when compared to the predicate device safety and effectiveness data as stated in literature also supports substantial equivalence of the Renuvion Dermal Handpiece.

7. Substantial Equivalence
The predicate device was selected because the subject device's intended use is a subset of the intended use for the primary predicate device (electrosurgical device for dermatologic treatment of wrinkles and rhytides - the treatment is achieved through controlled heating of the outer layers of the skin so that part or all the epidermis becomes non-viable and there is controlled thermal modification to the underlying dermis). The reference device was selected due to having the same principle of operation, mechanism of action, sterilization methods and technology used for device performance as the subject device, other than the few design modifications described in the submission. A summary of the subject device and predicate device comparison is provided below.

8. Conclusion
Clinical testing of the Renuvion® Dermal System (subject device) demonstrated that the device performed as intended with a favorable safety profile. The primary effectiveness endpoint FWS improvement score, investigator FWS score, and patient assessment of results yielded comparable or more improved outcomes than the predicate device. The safety profile of the subject device is comparable to the predicate device; no new or different risks were identified, and adverse event rates were comparable to the predicate device rates when used following recommended treatment settings. The Renuvion® Dermal Handpiece safety and performance has been further confirmed by the results of the performance bench and animal testing. Technologically, there are no differences between the subject and predicate device that would raise new or different questions regarding safety or effectiveness; the maximum depths of thermal effect measured for the Renuvion® Dermal Handpiece are less than or statistically equivalent to the predicate device as measured by histopathology. In conclusion,
