Intended Use

The CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH® System is indicated for use in dermatological procedures requiring the coagulation of soft tissue and general skin resurfacing procedures.

Device Description

The CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH® Laser System is the second generation of the Clear+Brilliant line of products. Clear+Brilliant products use non-ablative laser designed for use in dermatological procedures intended to improve the appearance of a patient's skin. The system incorporates self-diagnostic algorithms to ensure its correct operation. The CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH® Laser System is part of the family of Solta Medical products using the fractional photothermolysis principle to resurface the skin.

CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH® Laser System is comprised of four sub-systems:

    1. Console
    1. Handpieces: 1440nm and 1927nm (Perméa) handpieces
    1. Treatment Tip
    1. Credit Key

The console and up to two handpieces are connected mechanically and electrically by an umbilical cable. The treatment tip is mechanically and magnetically secured to the handpiece. All components must be properly connected and fully functional for the system to be operable. The system will not permit laser energy output until the treatment tip is in contact with the patient's skin.

The embedded processor and software control the precise delivery of the fractional laser treatment by directing the electrical and mechanical components that determine the position, spacing, and focus of the optical output. The processor and software also monitor the status of a treatment and the system and present this information to the operator on the touchscreen.

The Credit Key is the replaceable accessory allowing access to treatment credits and is attachable to the console. It is removable and is disposed of after the credit balance reaches zero.

The solid-state design of CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH® Laser System limits maintenance and minimizes utility requirements.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria, reported device performance, or a clinical study for the CLEAR+BRILLIANT TOUCH® Laser System as it would for an AI/ML powered device. This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device that utilizes laser technology for dermatological procedures, not an AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic tool.

Here's a breakdown of why the requested information cannot be fully provided based on the input text:

  • Type of Device: The CLEAR+BRILLIANT TOUCH® Laser System is a physical laser device, not a software algorithm that performs diagnostics or prognostics. Therefore, the typical acceptance criteria and study designs (like standalone performance, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment) for AI/ML devices do not apply.
  • 510(k) Clearance: This is a 510(k) submission, which aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. The focus is on comparing technological characteristics, safety standards compliance, and non-clinical performance (like electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, biocompatibility, and software validation), rather than a clinical effectiveness study with specific diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity or specificity.

However, I can extract the relevant information that is present in the document.

Information Present in the Document:

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

The document lists various non-clinical performance tests and standards to which the device must conform, and it states that the device "passed all the above applicable standards testing." These standards serve as the "acceptance criteria" for safety and basic performance.
