Device Description

The subject device PICORE is a picosecond Nd:Y AG laser instrument that uses Nd:YAG as a medium to emit a laser beam of 1064nm and 532nm wavelength. It has four non-fractional handpieces (Zoom handpiece, 7mm collimated handpiece, 3-5 mm handpiece, 6-8 mm handpiece). A physician can optimize the treatment effect for different applications by controlling the energy of the laser pulse and the spot size of the treatment beam. Laser emission can be controlled by using a Foot Switch. Laser parameters and other system features are controlled from a display panel located on the front of the power supply unit.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (BM.IRIS, K171648) by showing that its technical specifications are comparable and that it passed relevant non-clinical testing standards.

However, we can infer the "acceptance criteria" through the comparison to the predicate device and the non-clinical testing performed.

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred)Reported Device Performance (PICORE, K212082)
Technical Specifications Comparable to Predicate Device (BM.IRIS, K171648):
Laser TypeNd:YAG (Same as predicate)

Biocompatibility: (Not performed, rationale provided)Not applicable: Handpieces do not touch patients and are identical to the predicate device.
No Significant Alteration in Safety and Effectiveness due to Technical Differences from PredicateThe document explicitly states: "The difference in technological parameters is not expected to significantly alter the safety and effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device." This is the overarching acceptance criterion for substantial equivalence.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. No clinical or standalone performance studies were conducted that would involve a "test set" of patients/data in the typical sense for an AI/diagnostic device. The testing was non-clinical (bench testing, standards compliance).
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The testing was primarily against hardware/software standards and direct comparison of specifications, not clinical data or patient samples.

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

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable. Since no clinical study or data-driven performance test was conducted on a "test set" requiring ground truth, no experts were used for this purpose in the context of this submission.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. No clinical or data-driven test set requiring adjudication was used.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

  • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
  • Effect Size of Human Readers with AI vs. without AI assistance: Not applicable, as no such study was conducted.

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

  • Standalone Performance Study: No, a standalone performance study (algorithm only) was not conducted. The device is a laser system, not an AI or diagnostic algorithm, and its performance is evaluated through technical specifications and safety standards, not an "algorithm only" assessment.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: Not applicable in the context of clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy. For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" was established by engineering specifications, recognized international safety and performance standards (IEC standards), and the technical characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This device is a laser system, not a machine learning or AI-driven diagnostic device that typically requires a "training set" of data.

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

  • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as no training set was used.
