Lavieen is indicated for use in dermatological procedures requiring coagulation of soft tissue, treatment of actinic keratosis and treatment of benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos (sun spots) and ephelides (freckles).
Lavieen is a thulium laser, producing a pulsed beam of coherent near-infrared light (1927 mm) upon activation by a footswitch. The beam is then directed to the treatment zone by means of an optical fiber coupled to a handpiece. An integrated LED touch screen gives the user control over the necessary laser system parameters. Lavieen is equipped with a 658 nm aiming beam.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Lavieen laser system. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment, which are typical for studies validating AI/ML-based medical devices or new clinical claims, are largely not present in this document. No clinical studies were deemed necessary or performed for this device.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, highlighting what is present and what is missing:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This document does not specify "acceptance criteria" in the sense of predefined thresholds for clinical performance outcomes. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices by comparing technical characteristics and intended use.
Comparison Table for Substantial Equivalence (summarized from the document):
| Feature/Parameter | Proposed Device (Lavieen) | Predicate Device #1 (LASEMD) | Predicate Device #2 (Joule System) | Substantially Equivalent (Yes/No/Comment) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intended Use | Dermatological procedures requiring coagulation of soft tissue, treatment of actinic keratosis, benign pigmented lesions (lentigos, solar lentigos, ephelides). | Same | Same | Yes |
| Laser Type | Thulium laser | Thulium laser | Thulium laser | Yes |
| Laser Wavelength | 1927 nm | 1927 nm | 1927 nm | Yes |
| Aiming Beam | 658 nm | 658 nm | 658 nm | Yes |
| Beam Delivery | Fiber and Handpiece | Fiber and Handpiece | Articulated Arm or Fiber optic | Yes |
| Emission Control | Foot Switch | Foot Switch | Foot Switch | Yes |
| Laser Power | 10W | 5W | 12W | Yes (within range of predicates) |
| Pulse Duration | 0.1 - 20 ms | Max 20 ms | Max 20 ms | Yes |
| Pulse Repetition Rate | 67 - 240 Hz | 43.5 - 307.7 Hz | 0 - 3,000 Hz | Yes (within range of predicates) |
| Spot Size | 300 µm | 100 µm, 200 µm | 100 – 620 µm | Yes (similar to predicate device #2) |
Reported Device Performance (from "Non-Clinical Test Summary"):
- Max output power: 10 W (This is a design specification, not a performance metric from a clinical study).
- Electrical Safety & EMC: Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-22, IEC 60825-1.
- Software Validation: Designed and developed according to a software development process, verified and validated.
- Biocompatibility: Handpiece Tip (ABS) in contact with intact skin for <24 hours, determined to be biocompatible.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
Not applicable. The document explicitly states: "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed." Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of clinical data. The device's substantial equivalence was established through bench testing, engineering comparisons, and adherence to recognized standards.
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. As no clinical studies were performed, no ground truth from experts was established for a test set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. No clinical studies were performed.
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. This device is a laser system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No MRMC studies were performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a hardware medical device (laser surgical instrument), not a standalone algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable. No clinical studies were performed that required establishing ground truth for performance evaluation against clinical outcomes. The "ground truth" for this submission revolves around engineering specifications, safety standards, and functional equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This document describes a laser medical device, not an AI/ML model that would require a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. As above, no training set was used for an AI/ML model for this device.

Dear Hyun Yoon:
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 (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 located 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.
