AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Venus BlissMAX device, which is an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and comprehensive study results for efficacy.

However, based on the "Performance Data" subsection, we can infer some aspects of the acceptance criteria and the studies performed to demonstrate compliance.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics for the device's therapeutic claims (e.g., non-invasive lipolysis, muscle aches/pain, cellulite reduction, muscle conditioning) in a way that suggests a clinical trial with specific endpoints. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating that the device meets safety and performance standards.

The "Performance Bench Testing" implies that the device's outputs were measured against predefined specifications. These specifications would be the acceptance criteria for those particular performance tests.

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Performance Data)Reported Device Performance (Summary)
Compliance with performance standards"Venus Concept conducted several performance tests to demonstrate that the Venus BlissMAX device complies with performance standards and that it functions as intended." The results demonstrated that differences in technological characteristics do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness concerns.
Device output per specifications"Several performance tests were performed, including software validation and device verification tests in order to evaluate the Venus BlissMAX device's outputs per specifications. The results demonstrated that the differences in the technological characteristics of the subject and predicate devices do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness concerns."
Compliance with applicable electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (listed IEC standards)"The device was tested per the applicable electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards listed below, and all results were passing."
Software correctly functions as intended"The software was also subjected to verification and validation testing, and results demonstrated that the system performed as intended."
No new types of safety or effectiveness concerns"These performance tests demonstrated that the device meets the system requirements and do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness concerns."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not mention a "test set" in the context of clinical data for efficacy. The performance tests mentioned (bench testing, electrical safety, software validation) are primarily engineering and quality assurance tests. There is no information regarding sample size, country of origin, or whether it was retrospective or prospective for a clinical test set.

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)

Not applicable. The document does not describe a clinical test set requiring expert ground truth establishment for diagnostic or therapeutic outcomes. The performance data discussed pertains to device functionality and safety standards, which are typically evaluated by engineers and regulatory compliance experts.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. As no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication for ground truth is described, there is no mention of an adjudication method.

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

Not applicable. The Venus BlissMAX device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic imaging device, and therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant to its assessment.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm. Its operation inherently involves a "trained professional," as stated in the Indications for Use for the FlexMAX applicators.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For the performance and safety tests described:

  • Performance Bench Testing: The "ground truth" would be the predefined engineering specifications and functional design of the device.
  • Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility: The "ground truth" is compliance with international standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series).
  • Software Testing: The "ground truth" is adherence to software requirements and functionality as per design specifications.

For the claims of efficacy, the document states "The results demonstrated that the differences in the technological characteristics of the subject and predicate devices do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness concerns." This suggests the efficacy is primarily being demonstrated through substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than new clinical outcomes data.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. As this device is not an AI/machine learning product requiring a training set in the conventional sense, this information is not provided.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/machine learning model.

The EMS applicator is comprised of two electrodes and a light indicator.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Technological Characteristics:

The Venus BlissMAX device delivers laser energy to the subcutaneous tissue layers via the four diode laser applicators connected to the console utilizes diode laser modules as sources of optical energy and the optical output is fiber-coupled through the applicator to the treatment area. The laser applicators are coupled to the patient's body while using a dedicated belt for the entire treatment. Individual adjustment of the laser output power is provided for each applicator to achieve maximum safety and efficiency for the patient. The laser applicators have an integrated contact skin cooling system to enhance safety and comfort of the treatment.

In addition, the Venus BlissMAX device using the MP2 applicator provides RF treatments combined with emitted magnetic fields and vacuum massaging. The Vacuum is mainly used for the massaging of deep tissues by creating mild to deep suction. The vacuum massage improves the contact surface between electrodes and tissue. The RF currents heat the adipose and muscular tissues to trigger tissue level changes leading to temporary reduction in the appearance, of cellulite and temporary relief of muscle pain and muscle spasm. The RF heating effect also improves local blood circulation in the sub dermal layers. The PEMF assists in achieving treatment effect.

Furthermore, The Venus BlissMAX device using the FlexMAX applicators (EMS applicators) contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area. The transcutaneous electrical current is designed to effect underlying, healthy muscles, causing them to contract. The FlexMAX applicators are coupled to the patient's body while using a dedicated belt during the entire treatment. The belt size and number of EMS applicators is determined by the treatment area and its size. Its use on muscles is in accordance with a class II device Powered Electrical Muscle Stimulator (Product Code NGX), based on the FDA guidance document for powered muscle stimulators for muscle conditioning as a special control1.

As described in the comparison tables above, the Venus BlissMAX device has the same intended use and indications for use, similar technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The technological differences between the Venus BlissMAX device and its predicate and reference devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. The Venus BlissMAX device and its predicate devices Venus Concept's Venus Bliss (K190743), A-1 Engineering's Body System (K182440) and its reference device the InMode System with Tone Applicator (K192249) are based on the same core technology of RF along with PEMF and vacuum massaging (as in the Venus Bliss), Diode Laser (as in the Venus Bliss) and EMS (as in the Body System and the InMode System with Tone Applicator), for the same indications for use. The design and components in the Venus BlissMAX device, including the console and the applicators are similar to the design and components found in the predicates and the reference device. The technological differences do not alter the device's core technology or performance.

Furthermore, the Venus BlissMAX device underwent performance testing, including software validation testing, electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing. These performance tests in addition to the bench test demonstrated that the differences in the technological characteristics between the subject's predicate and reference device do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness concerns.

Conclusions:

Therefore, based on the same intended use and indications for use, similar technological characteristics, and principles of operation, the Venus BlissMAX device is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices, the Venus Bliss (K190743) and the Body System (K182440).
