The SCIZER delivers high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy that can disrupt subcutaneous adipose tissue(SAT) to provide a non-invasive approach to achieve a desired aesthetic effect.
The SCIZER is specifically indicated for non-invasive waist circumference reduction.
The Subject Device consists of 2 handpieces, a control unit, a Touch LCD monitor, power supply unit for irradiation and for setting parameters after the main power and key switch is turned on.
HIFU energy is irradiated based on a linear scanning method through the handpiece depending on irradiation energy that is set in advance by the user. The Cartridge D13 used with the Subject Device focuses the HIFU energy from the transducer onto the fat layer at a depth of 13mm from the surface of the skin. The Cartridge can treat a region of tissue up to 46mm long and 46mm wide. The Cartridge can apply a maximum of 24 lines at a time. As a result, tissue temperature rises over 56°C and thermal coagulation occurs. Using thermal effects generated by the HIFU transducer, cellular disruption of the subcutaneous adipose tissue occurs. This thermal coagulation results in the contraction of the collagen and subsequently results in the destruction of the adipose tissue. The destroyed adipose tissue is cleared via an inflammatory response.
Immediately before the procedure, purified water was applied to the treatment area to promote the desired energy transmission of the ultrasound transducer. To minimize the pain from the thermal HIFU procedure, the cooling level was used through the GUI. It is recommended to use an ultrasound imaging system to visualize the sub-dermal regions of interest before treatment. It allows the physician to compile a precise view of the target treatment area.
The provided text describes the clinical study conducted for the SCIZER (SC1-M410) device to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness for non-invasive waist circumference reduction. This is a 510(k) submission, meaning the focus is on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, LipoSonix® system model 2.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The primary efficacy outcome serves as the key acceptance criterion.
| Acceptance Criteria (Primary Efficacy Outcome) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Waist circumference reduction above 2.45 cm after two sets of treatments/procedures. | All three analysis sets (FAS, PPS, IAS) revealed a statistically significant difference in the waist circumference between the 8th week (and 16th week) and prior to the 1st procedure, compared to the reference value of 2.45cm (δ). The null hypothesis (D<=δ) was rejected, indicating a reduction greater than 2.45 cm. |
Study Details
-
Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: 20 study participants.
- Data Provenance: Single-centered, single group, parallel clinical study. The country of origin is not explicitly stated in the provided text but "CLASSYS Inc, CLASSYS, 208, Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea" is listed for Classys Inc., implying the study might have taken place in South Korea. The study was prospective in nature, as it involved treatments and follow-ups.
-
Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) was assessed by "three independent investigators (IGAIS)" and by the Subjects (SGAIS).
- The specific qualifications of these investigators are not detailed beyond "independent investigators."
-
Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- For the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), it was assessed by three independent investigators. The text states "All three independent evaluators observed a decrease in waist circumference during these evaluation periods," suggesting a consensus or agreement was reached, but no formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is explicitly described. For the primary efficacy outcome (waist circumference change), the data was objective measurements and statistical analysis was performed.
-
If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done:
- No, a formal MRMC study comparing human readers (e.g., clinicians) with and without AI assistance was not performed. This device is a treatment device (HIFU) that directly reduces waist circumference, not an imaging or diagnostic AI-assisted device. The "investigator" evaluations were for aesthetic improvement, not for diagnostic performance of an AI.
-
If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
- This is not applicable as the device is a therapeutic device (HIFU system) and not an AI algorithm for diagnosis or image analysis operating standalone. Performance testing related to the device itself (electrical, EMC, acoustic power, beam profile, thermal evaluation, focal length) was done as standalone engineering/device performance tests (Section 5.7.2).
-
The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Primary Efficacy: Objective quantitative measurements: waist circumference reduction (in cm). The "ground truth" was established based on these direct physical measurements compared to a pre-defined threshold (2.45 cm reduction).
- Secondary Efficacy: Included objective measurements (waist-hip ratio, weight, subcutaneous fat layer thickness via ultrasound, abdominal fat thickness via Caliper, abdominal fat area and height via CT) and subjective assessments (GAIS by investigators and subjects).
- Safety: Blood tests, pain evaluation using NRS scale, and incidence of adverse events.
-
The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- The provided text describes a clinical study for evaluation of the device's performance, which is typically linked to the test set for regulatory submission, not a separate "training set" for an AI algorithm. As this is a physical device without an explicit AI component described for its core functionality as typically defined in machine learning, there is no mention of a separate training set for algorithm development. The "training" for such a device would involve device design, engineering, and preclinical testing.
-
How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not applicable as there is no mention of a "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm from the provided information. The "training" in the context of device development would involve iterative design, testing, and refinement, where "ground truth" for each iteration is established by engineering specifications, physical testing, and potentially animal studies (as mentioned in Section 5.8).

5.8. Animal Study
Animal Testing was conducted for evaluating the effectiveness of the Subject Device in comparison to its Predicate Device, by comparing the tissue damage, the temperature increases at the point of contact, and subcutaneous fat reduction in an animal model were performed and the test results support the substantial equivalence.
5.9. Clinical study
CLASSYS Inc. conducted a single-centered, single group, parallel clinical study with 20 study participants aged between 18 and 65 years. The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the Subject Device.
Efficacy outcome
The primary efficacy outcome was assessed in terms of waist circumference reduction above 2.45 cm after two sets of treatments/procedures. The treatments using the Subject Device were performed on 12 sites of the abdomen. with a cumulative energy of 150 J/cm2 and 135 J/cm2, during the 1st set and 2nd set of treatments, and were based on the umbilicus of each subject. The second procedure was executed at the 4th week after the 1st procedure and on the same sites of the participants. During the application of treatment sets, each procedure site received 3 passes within a maximum of 20 minutes. Data acquired from the subjects of this study were evaluated by FAS (Full analysis Set) and PPS (Per-Protocol Set). Additionally, Investigator Analysis Set (IAS) was added as an analysis group. The evaluation of primary efficacy outcome was done by testing the null hypothesis (D<=δ), in which paired t-test or Wilcoxon's signed-rank test were used to compare the difference (D) in the waist circumference between the 2 time points (measurement prior to the 1st procedure and measurement at the 16th week) with the reference value of 2.45cm (δ) using one-tailed testing at a sigmificance level of 2.5%. All 3 sets revealed a statistically significant difference in the waist circumference between the 8th week and prior to the 1st procedure.
The secondary efficacy outcomes comprised evaluation of the waist-hip ratio(%), changes in weight, changes in subcutaneous fat layer thickness using ultrasound, changes in the abdominal fat thickness using Caliper, changes in the area of abdomen fat and the height of the subcutaneous fat area measured through abdomen fat CT, and evaluation of abdominal subcutaneous fat reduction on procedure site using GAIS.
The evaluation was conducted by two-tailed testing at a significance level of 5% and a statistically significant decrease was observed at each evaluation time compared to measurements taken before the 1st procedure.
The reduction of waist circumference was assessed using Global Aesthetic Improvement scale (GAIS) by three independent investigators (IGAIS) and by the Subjects (SGAIS).

Below "CLASSYS" is the tagline "Technology for better life" in a smaller, lighter font. The overall design is clean and modern.
The Investigator Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (IGAIS) evaluations were conducted prior to the 2nd treatment and 4 weeks after the 2nd treatment, both for the FAS set. PPS set. and the IAS set. The evaluations for each of the three sets demonstrated a statistically significant (p=0.000) difference for the mean±standard deviations in the two time points (FAS= 0.75+0.44, 0.89±0.54; PPS= 0.76±0.46, 0.74±0.47; IAS=0.83±0.41, 0.90±0.51). All three independent evaluators observed a decrease in waist circumference during these evaluation periods.
Similarly, the Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (SGAIS) evaluations were conducted at six different time points, where all demonstrated a statistically significant difference for the mean±standard deviations, compared to the evaluation before the 1st procedure.
Evaluation of safety
Evaluation of safety was conducted through blood test, evaluation of pain (NRS scale), and incidence of adverse events during the clinical trial. The results from blood test results demonstrated that all test items showed values of normal range with no clinically significant abnormalities or differences among the results of each test item.
These results for pain evaluation demonstrated that pain experienced initially after each treatment was resolved completely at 2 weeks from the end of the 2nd treatment.
Throughout the study, no serious or unanticipated adverse events were reported.
Conclusion
The results of the primary efficacy outcome support the Subject Device's effectiveness in terms of waist circumference reduction in a substantially similar manner to that of the Predicate Device. The results from the safety evaluation demonstrate that the Subject Device is equivalent to the predicate in terms of safety. Thus, in entirety, the clinical data demonstrates that the Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device for requested indications for use.
5.10. Conclusion
Subject Device has some technological differences to compare to the predicate LipoSonix® system model 2. Performance test data including the clinical data demonstrates that the Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device in terms of safety and effectiveness for the requested indications for use.
