AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the NeoGen PSR System, focusing on the addition of a 25mm nozzle option. It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices, along with testing performed for safety and performance. However, this document does not contain details about acceptance criteria, reported device performance in terms of clinical outcomes, sample sizes for a test set, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies for improved reader performance with AI assistance.

The document is primarily a regulatory submission comparing the technological characteristics of the new 25mm nozzle to previously cleared devices. It states that the 25mm nozzle has been included in the scope of assessments, but these assessments are primarily for safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), not clinical effectiveness in terms of specified acceptance criteria on patient data.

Here's a breakdown of what is and is not in the provided text:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

  • Not provided. The document discusses compliance with safety and EMC standards (e.g., ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-1-2) which are general device standards. It lists various technical parameters and how they compare between the predicate and subject device (e.g., Max Output Energy, Treatment Pulse Repetition Rate, Output Pulse Width, Safety Classification). However, these are specifications, not acceptance criteria for clinical performance (e.g., a specific reduction in rhytids by a certain percentage with a defined confidence interval). There are no reported device performance metrics against specific clinical acceptance criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not provided. The document mentions "Representative samples of the NeoGen PSR system have been tested" for safety and EMC, and "Representative samples of the NeoGen PSR system have been tested by Energist Limited UK to demonstrate compliance with the user and functional performance requirements." However, no sample sizes for these tests are given, nor is there any mention of a "test set" in the context of clinical data or data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The tests described are laboratory-based safety and performance tests, not clinical studies with patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable/Not provided. Since there is no clinical "test set" and no "ground truth" derived from patient outcomes, this information is not present. The document focuses on technical specifications and safety compliance.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable/Not provided. As there's no clinical test set or ground truth derived from expert review, adjudication methods are not relevant or discussed.

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/Not provided. The NeoGen PSR System is described as an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device that delivers nitrogen gas plasma for dermatological conditions. It is a therapeutic device, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance is not relevant to this device.

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

  • Not applicable/Not provided. This device is a physical electrosurgical system operated by a medical practitioner. It does not involve an algorithm requiring standalone performance evaluation.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Not applicable/Not provided. No clinical ground truth (e.g., pathology, outcomes data) is mentioned as being used for evaluating the performance of the device against acceptance criteria in the clinical context. The "compliance" mentioned is against engineering and safety standards.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable/Not provided. This is not an AI/machine learning device, so there is no concept of a "training set."

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

  • Not applicable/Not provided. As above, no training set or ground truth for it exists for this device.

In summary, the provided FDA 510(k) summary is a regulatory document affirming substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for an electrosurgical device. It does not delve into clinical efficacy studies with acceptance criteria, human reader performance, or AI considerations, which are typically found in the context of diagnostic or AI-powered devices. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this document refers to engineering and safety testing, not clinical trials with patient cohorts.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

System Elements

The system comprises the following major elements:

  • . The Energist NeoGen PSR generator. This incorporates a source of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) energy and the gas control system required to support creation of nitrogen plasma;
  • . A Footswitch – single pedal type for activation of the plasma output.
  • . A handpiece that connects to the generator via an umbilical, which incorporates electrical and gas connections. The handpiece incorporates a finger-operated button switch that can be used to activate the plasma as an alternative to the footswitch.
  • . A Procedure Pack, comprising one or more limited life disposable tips (nozzles) through which the plasma is delivered. These are a snap fit to the distal end of the handpiece;
  • A gas supply system - principally a nitrogen gas cylinder and a regulator assembly;
  • . A bespoke trolley which provides a secure, mobile platform for the generator, handpiece, gas cylinder (plus a spare cylinder) and gas regulator assembly.

{4}------------------------------------------------

Principle of Operation

The NeoGen PSR delivers controlled thermal energy to the outer layers of the skin so that part or all of the epidermis becomes non-viable and there is controlled thermal modification to the underlying dermis. The body's natural healing process causes the damaged skin to be replaced with new, fresh, growth – thus resulting in improvement of the appearance and effects of the indicated conditions.

The thermal energy emitted by the system is in the form of a nitrogen gas plasma. This is created by subjecting pressurised nitrogen gas to a high level of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) energy. This process takes place in the handpiece of the device, more specifically in a resonator tube, or "nozzle", the distal end of which is directed at the skin surface. The handpiece is connected to the main generator unit via an "umbilical", which incorporates a gas supply tube and a cable capable of conducting the UHF energy. It also incorporates a cable for control signals between the handpiece and the generator unit to support the action of a control button and gas solenoid valve, plus secure identification and "counter" elements in the nozzle and the handpiece itself. The plasma is created in short pulses, approximately 5 to 15 milli-seconds in duration. Automatic adjustment of the UHF power level and pulse duration to the handpiece enables control of tissue effects by altering the amount of energy delivered by the plasma to the skin surface for each pulse. In practice, the energy per pulse can be varied from 1.0 to 4.0 Joules when the system is used with the 5mm nozzle, and from 0.5 to 0.8 Joules when used with the 25mm nozzle. The system can be configured to automatically generate a series of pulses at set intervals to allow the operator to move the handpiece over the surface of the skin at a steady speed to achieve a uniform effect. Alternatively, the pulses can be manually triggered - either by pressing the control button on the handpiece, or by depressing a footswitch, according to operator preference.

The nozzles are limited-life components which are a snap-fit onto the distal end of the handpiece and are easily replaced. A stand-off incorporated in the nozzle allows the distance from the skin surface to be accurately determined. The separation distance influences the amount of energy impacting the skin surface. NeoGen PSR systems are capable of supporting the use of nozzles with 5mm standoff, as well as 25mm. This is as per the Rhytec Portrait PSR3, which was the legally marketed predicate device cited when the NeoGen PSR was originally cleared under K132754.

Handpiece usage is also monitored and the system limits use to guard against unexpected failure due to degradation with use over time. The handpiece is user replaceable.

The generator incorporates a large colour touchscreen display supporting a Graphical User Interface that clearly conveys information to the operator and allows settings to be made readliy and conveniently.

TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON

This is a review of the differences between the 25mm standoff arrangements as cleared in K072394 for use with the Rhytec PSR3. (the original predicate as cited in the K132754 submission for the NeoGen PSR), and those of the current 25mm nozzle that is the subject of this K221873 submission.

Rhytec 25mm Standoff

This took the form of an adapter that could be fitted over the standard nozzle. The below excerpt from Rhytec's instruction sheet for the standoff shows the fitting instructions, and also gives an idea of the physical appearance and characteristics.

Image /page/10/Picture/5 description: In the image, a person wearing purple gloves is holding a white nozzle. The top surface of the nozzle is visible. Above the nozzle, there is a handle with a purple design on it. The text in the image labels the top surface of the handle and nozzle.

Top surface of Stand-off

Orientate Stand-off to the Nozzle noting alignment of top surfaces of each part

Image /page/10/Picture/8 description: In this image, a hand wearing a purple glove is holding a white and purple device with two prongs extending from the bottom. The device appears to be some sort of medical or scientific instrument. The prongs are translucent and have a yellowish tint. The hand is gripping the device firmly, and the background is a plain, light-colored surface.

Engage the Stand-off onto the Nozzle

Image /page/10/Picture/10 description: In the image, a gloved hand is holding a white plastic device with yellow tubes extending from the bottom. The device appears to be some sort of medical or laboratory instrument. The hand is holding the device near the top, and the tubes are pointing downwards. A black arrow is pointing to the top of the white plastic device.

Stand-off correctly fitted onto the Nozzle

Align protrusion on the Stand-off in relation to the joint between the Handpiece and Nozzle

Essential characteristics of the Rhytec 25mm standoff are as follows:

Standoff Distance:25mm
Service Life:To be replaced after use with 10 nozzles
Energy Reduction Factor:0.65
Patient Contacting Material:Ultem
Spot Separation:12mm
Energy Range:0.65 to 1.0 Joule*
  • The lower limit is determined by the minimum output level of the Portrait PSR3 (1 Joule) and the Energy Reduction Factor (0.65). The maximum is that recommended in the IFU to prevent overheating of the tips, which could result in patient discomfort and damage to the standoff.

The Rhytec Portrait PSR was a relatively basic device and was not able to detect the presence or absence of the adapter. It was therefore necessary for the operator to perform their own calculation of the effective energy reaching the skin surface, based on the reading on the numeric display.

{11}------------------------------------------------

The range of energy outputs available were:

PSR3 Energy Setting (J):1.01.11.21.31.41.5
Energy at Skin Surface (J):0.650.70.80.850.91

NeoGen 25mm Nozzle

On the NeoGen device, the standoff is an integral part of the nozzle. It attaches to the distal end of the handpiece in the same manner as the 5mm nozzle. A picture of the device is shown below.

Image /page/11/Picture/5 description: The image shows a black electrical plug with three prongs. The plug has a clear glass tube extending from one side, with a visible filament inside. The prongs are a light tan color and appear to be made of a flexible material. The plug is resting on a light-colored surface.

Essential characteristics of the NeoGen 25mm nozzle are as follows:

Standoff Distance:25mm
Service Life:9000 shots
Energy Reduction Factor:N/A
Patient Contacting Material:Ultem
Spot Separation:12mm
Energy Range:0.5 to 0.8 Joule (in 0.1J steps)

The main practical differences between the NeoGen 25mm nozzle and the Rhytec solution are:

  • . The NeoGen PSR automatically detects the presence of the 25mm nozzle and adjusts the on-screen energy settings to reflect the actual energy delivered to the skin surface. This reduces the burden on the operator, and the possibility of errors;
  • It is not possible to exceed the maximum ratings of the nozzle in respect of enerqy level or ● rated lifetime;
  • The possibility of the standoff being incorrectly fitted, or becoming detached, is reduced;
  • Available energy levels differ. At such low levels the clinical differences are minimal however.

The main similarities are:

  • Same spot size treatment techniques therefore remain the same; ●
  • Same material used for standoff biocompatibility and thermal stability considerations ● therefore remain the same.

{12}------------------------------------------------

CONCLUSION

The comparison of Technological Characteristics and the results of the performance and compliance testing conducted demonstrate that the subject device is Substantially Equivalent to the predicate device as cleared in K132754, and that the 25mm nozzle is Substantially Equivalent to that of the Rhytec nozzle/25mm standoff combination as cleared under K072394.
