Intended Use

PLAXPOT™ MULTI PLASMA is intended for the removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue.

Device Description

PLAXPOT™ MULTI PLASMA is a device that consists of a handpiece which is the main body and a charger (charging cradle, and power adapter). The high frequency current is exposed to the air and the air is ionized. The electrode tip can perform treatment without direct contact with the tissue. After the power is applied through the internal battery, the mode is set and the Shot button is pressed, a high voltage alternating current pulse is released according to the set value, and the air is ionized to form a plasma arc. This device uses plasma energy. This causes excess skink and sublimate (direct passage from the solid to the gaseous state of matter) without affecting the deeper skin layers. The difference in potential distance between device's handpiece and the skin represents the area where the voltaic arc will take place. In this gap, the gases in the air are ionized, thus Plasma is generated. The tissues touched by plasma "sublime" without heat transfer to other unwanted tissues.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter and an associated 510(k) summary for the PLAXPOT™ MULTI PLASMA device. This documentation primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" of the device to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than a detailed study proving the device's clinical performance against specific acceptance criteria for a novel AI/ML device.

Therefore, the document does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, nor does it describe a study that proves the device meets such criteria. The device in question, an electrosurgical device, is not an AI/ML product.

The 510(k) summary (specifically sections 5.8 and Table 2) outlines performance bench tests designed to demonstrate the device's functional requirements and safety as an electrosurgical device, but these are not the type of studies (e.g., MRMC, standalone AI performance) you've inquired about for AI/ML device validation.

Here's an explanation of why the requested information is not present based on the provided text:

  • Acceptance Criteria for AI/ML Performance: The document does not mention any AI/ML components. The device operates on the principle of generating plasma through high-frequency current to remove/destroy skin lesions and coagulate tissue. Its "Performance Testing" relates to electrical safety, EMC, and thermal effects, which are standard for electrosurgical devices, not AI/ML performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, AUC, or F1-score.
  • Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria: No study in the document describes the formal validation of an AI/ML algorithm against specified performance thresholds. The "Performance Testing" section mentions "bench tests" and "functional requirements," which are engineering and electrical safety checks, not clinical performance studies for an AI/ML diagnostic or therapeutic aid.
  • Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Performance: No such table exists for AI/ML performance. The table (Table 2) lists "Performance Testing Summary" for bench tests with "Pass" results, indicating compliance with electrical safety and other engineering standards.
  • Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance: Not applicable as there's no AI/ML test set defined.
  • Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth: Not applicable, as there's no AI/ML ground truth generation process described.
  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable.
  • Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study: Not mentioned, as it's not an AI/ML device requiring human-in-the-loop performance evaluation.
  • Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance: Not applicable, as there's no standalone algorithm.
  • Type of Ground Truth Used: Not applicable.
  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable.
  • How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document details the FDA clearance process for an electrosurgical device (PLAXPOT™ MULTI PLASMA) based on substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. It covers safety, electrical standards, and intended use as an electrosurgical device, but it does not contain any information about an AI/ML component or studies related to AI/ML device performance.

Dear Su Kyung Park:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

5.3 Identification of Predicate Devices

The primary predicate device for PLAXPOT™ MULTI PLASMA is the SubNovii Advanced Plasma Technology (K201738) and the reference device is Plasma IQ (K192813).

5.4 Subject Device Description

PLAXPOT™ MULTI PLASMA is a device that consists of a handpiece which is the main body and a charger (charging cradle, and power adapter). The high frequency current is exposed to the air and the air is ionized. The electrode tip can perform treatment without direct contact with the tissue.

After the power is applied through the internal battery, the mode is set and the Shot button is pressed, a high voltage alternating current pulse is released according to the set value, and the air is ionized to form a plasma arc.

This device uses plasma energy. This causes excess skink and sublimate (direct passage from the solid to the gaseous state of matter) without affecting the deeper skin layers. The difference in potential distance between device's handpiece and the skin represents the area where the voltaic arc will take place. In this gap, the gases in the air are ionized, thus Plasma is generated. The tissues touched by plasma "sublime" without heat transfer to other unwanted tissues.

ર્સ્ટ Indications for Use

PLAXPOT™ MULTI PLASMA is intended for the removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue.
