The Zerona® Z-Bed Laser is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment of body circumference.

Device Description

The Zerona® Z-Bed laser is specially designed for non-invasive fat loss. Zerona® Z-Bed is a new body-sculpting procedure designed for client's seeking noninvasive fat loss without invasive surgery. Zerona® Z-Bed allows the individual to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, wounds or garments. The Zerona® Z-Bed works by utilizing proven low level laser technology to emulsify adipose tissue (defined as leakage of the fat out of the cell) which then releases into the interstitial space. The excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification. The Zerona® Z-Bed was built on the clinical foundation of its predecessors, Zerona® Z6 OTC, Zerona® and Zerona®-AD which were proven through a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled studies to be safe and effective in the application of circumference reduction and noninvasive fat loss.

The Zerona® Z-Bed emits a 635 nanometer wavelength with a tolerance of ±10 nanometer, from each of the twelve specially created and patented electronic diodes. Laser devices are typically constructed to emit a "spot" of light. The Zerona® Z-Bed laser utilizes internal mechanics that collects the light emitted from the laser diode and processes it through a proprietary patented lens, and then redirects the beam with a line refractor. The laser applicator heads, each produce an output power of 17.5mW (± 1.25mW) measured, per non-convergent beams. Laser diodes and adjustable laser arms are positioned no greater than 3-4 inches away from the client's target treatment areas. In this position the diode emits a line width of 3mm and a mean length of 3.5in. (8.9cm), each line emits approximately (.0002 joules per cm² / minute) per area at 3inches and approximately (.0001 joules per cm2 / minute) per area at 4inches. The treatment time of 20 minutes would be approximately .004 /cm² at 3 inches and approximately .002 //cm² at 4 inches away from the skin.

The Zerona® Z-Bed laser device has been classified by the FDA/EC as a Class II/IIa device and a Class I/2 Laser. This designation represents a current standard for use in order to ensure the safety of the individual. A Class II/Ia Laser is determined to have a chronic viewing hazard. Pointing the laser beam directly into the eye and maintaining it there for an extended period of time could prove to be damaging.

The Zerona® Z-Bed laser device has been classified by the FDA Class II device and a Class 2 laser in accordance IEC 60825-1 (Complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 21 CFR 1040.11 by Laser Notice #50). The performance parameters and intended use of the Erchonia® Zerona® Z-Bed are compliant to the internationally recognized safety testing standards for medical devices. The testing of the Zerona® Z-Bed device includes functional performance, electrical, safety and component verification, in accordance with the FDA QS requirement, validated annually through ISO 13485 audits. The software incorporated into the operation of the Zerona® Z-Bed complies with FDA and ISO Software Development and Validation regulations.

The Zerona® Z-Bed laser package is comprised of (1) Zerona® Z-Bed Laser Device, (1) Laser Safety Glasses, (1) Power Cord, (1) Power Supply, (1) Tape Measure, (1) Pack of Disinfectant Wipes, and (1) Operation & Maintenance Manual. This following information is included to familiarize you with the components of the device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Erchonia Zerona Z-Bed, a low-level laser system for aesthetic use. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/human reader performance study.

The document states: "No clinical study results are being submitted as part of this submission." (Page 6)

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Erchonia Zerona Z6 OTC) based on technological characteristics and safety standards. The "Performance Data" section discusses compliance with voluntary standards (IEC 60601-1-2:2014, IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60825-1:2014), software verification and validation, risk assessment, and electromagnetic compatibility/electrical safety.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance in the context of AI assistance or human reader improvement, as this information is not present in the provided text.

Based on the provided document, the device's performance is demonstrated through:

  • Compliance with established safety and performance standards: IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60825-1, and FDA's performance standards for light-emitting products (21CFR 1040.10 and 21 CFR 1040.11 by Laser Notice #50).
  • Demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device: The Zerona Z6 OTC, which was "proven through a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled studies to be safe and effective in the application of circumference reduction and noninvasive fat loss" (Page 4). The current device's design change (adding more diodes for simultaneous anterior/posterior treatment) does not affect the safety or effectiveness, as the number of diodes, laser power, and treatment time per treated area remain the same as the predicate device.

To directly answer the questions based on the provided text, where applicable, and mark non-applicable questions:

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

  • Acceptance Criteria: The primary "acceptance criteria" for this 510(k) submission is demonstration of substantial equivalence to a predicate device and compliance with relevant safety and performance standards.

Conclusion

The Erchonia® Zerona® Z-BED (Model# JZB) is substantially equivalent to the Erchonia® Zerona® Z6 OTC (Model# SHR), cleared under K162578. The design change does not render the device not substantially equivalent, does not affect the safety or effectiveness, or raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

The only technological difference between the Zerona® Z-BED (subject device) and Zerona® Z6 OTC (predecessor device) is the addition of six laser diodes, which provides the means to administer the treatment to the anterior and posterior of the individual simultaneously and therefore eliminating the two-step treatment process, involving the individual treating anterior and then rotating over for treatment of posterior. This change does not affect the safety or effectiveness due to the Zerona® Z-BED (subject device) and Zerona® Z6 OTC (predecessor device) deliver the same number of diodes (6), laser power (17.25mW) and treatment time (20 minutes) to each treatment area (anterior/ posterior). Furthermore, both the subject device and predecessor deliver the same amount of total light energy (248 J).

Therefore, we conclude that the Erchonia® Zerona® Z-BED redesign (subject device) is substantially equivalent to the predecessor, Erchonia Zerona® Z6 OTC (predicate device), indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for the reduction of body circumference
