The Renuvion® APR Handpiece is intended for the delivery of radiofrequency energy and/or helium plasma for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue during open surgical procedures.

The Renuvion® APR Handpiece is intended to be used with compatible electrosurgical generators owned by Apyx Medical.

Device Description

The Renuvion® APR (Apyx Plasma/RF) handpiece is a sterile, single use electrosurgical (monopolar) device intended to be used in conjunction with a compatible generator for the delivery of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue during open surgical procedures. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to the handpiece by the generator and used to energize the electrode. When helium gas is passed over the energized electrode, a helium plasma is generated for cutting, coagulation or ablation of soft tissue during open surgical procedures. The compatible generators operate at an adjustable power of up to 40 W (expressed as 0 - 100% where 100% is 40 W) and provide an adjustable helium gas flow of 1 - 5 L/Min. APR Handpiece has a non-extendable electrode to generate helium plasma. The handpiece is available in two different lengths: 15 cm and 27 cm. The 15 cm length is available in a single port (APYX-15-SP) as well as a twin port configuration (APYX-15-TP). The 27cm length is only available with a twin port configuration (APYX- 27-TP).

The device can also be used for percutaneous delivery of radiofrequency and helium plasma energy to coagulate subcutaneous soft tissue.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Renuvion® APR Handpiece. This document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. The primary change for this submission is an addition to the indications for use.

Crucially, this document describes a determination of substantial equivalence, not a study proving adherence to specific acceptance criteria for performance, particularly not for an AI/algorithm-based device as the prompt's structure implies. The device in question is an electrosurgical handpiece, a hardware device, not an AI/software device.

Therefore, many of the requested fields related to AI/algorithm performance (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. The "Performance Data" section explicitly states "N/A" for bench testing, electrical safety, EMC, and biocompatibility because "no modifications were made to the commercially available handpiece cleared under K220970."

However, I can extract information related to the clinical justification for the expanded indications for use.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing the prompt's points where applicable, and stating "Not Applicable" or "Not Provided" where the information is not present or relevant to this type of device submission:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not present explicit "acceptance criteria" in the format one would typically see for an AI performance study (e.g., minimum AUC, sensitivity, specificity). Instead, the assessment for substantial equivalence relies on:

  • Technological equivalence to predicate devices.
  • Demonstration of safety and effectiveness for the additional proposed indication.

The "performance" is assessed in terms of comparable safety profiles rather than specific quantitative metrics against a defined threshold.

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

  • Test Set (for the new indication): The document refers to "real-world evidence gathered from 6 studies in which all procedures used Renuvion APR following liposuction."
    • This data set includes retrospective chart reviews in 1,184 body areas across 483 subjects.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the retrospective chart reviews. It is implied to be clinical data, likely from the US, given the FDA submission.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: Primarily retrospective chart reviews for the liposuction indication. There is also a mention of an IDE study (G190152, VP-1902) for the neck and submental region (which was already an indicated use for the predicate device, not new for this submission).

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

  • Not Applicable in the context of an AI ground truth. For this device (an electrosurgical handpiece), "ground truth" relates to clinical outcomes and safety profiles, typically established by treating physicians and follow-up. The data relies on clinical records and published meta-analyses. No specific "experts" were convened to "establish ground truth" for a test set in the way one would for an AI study.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI performance study requiring image or data annotation adjudication. Clinical outcomes are typically recorded by the treating physician or study staff, and adverse events are reported as per standard clinical practice.

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 is not an AI device. The study described compares adverse event rates of Renuvion APR following liposuction to liposuction alone, based on a meta-analysis. It does not involve human readers interpreting images, assisted or unassisted by AI.

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

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • The "ground truth" in this context is clinical outcomes and adverse event rates derived from:
    • Retrospective chart reviews (for the new liposuction-related indication).
    • Data from a previously conducted IDE study (for the neck and submental region indication, which was already on the predicate).
    • Comparative data from a published meta-analysis (for liposuction alone adverse event rates).

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI device that requires a training set. The clinical data mentioned (1,184 body areas across 483 subjects) serves as the evidence for safety and effectiveness for the new indication.

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

  • Not Applicable. As this is not an AI device, there is no "training set" or "ground truth for the training set" in the context of machine learning. Clinical data collection follows established medical record-keeping and study protocols.

3. Device Description

The Renuvion® APR (Apyx Plasma/RF) handpiece is a sterile, single use electrosurgical (monopolar) device intended to be used in conjunction with a compatible generator for the delivery of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue during open surgical procedures. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to the handpiece by the generator and used to energize the electrode. When helium gas is passed over the energized electrode, a helium plasma is generated for cutting, coagulation or ablation of soft tissue during open surgical procedures. The compatible generators operate at an adjustable power of up to 40 W (expressed as 0 - 100% where 100% is 40 W) and provide an adjustable helium gas flow of 1 - 5 L/Min. APR Handpiece has a non-extendable electrode to generate helium plasma. The handpiece is available in two different lengths: 15 cm and 27 cm. The 15 cm length is available in a single port (APYX-15-SP) as well as a twin port configuration (APYX-15-TP). The 27cm length is only available with a twin port configuration (APYX- 27-TP).

The device can also be used for percutaneous delivery of radiofrequency and helium plasma energy to coagulate subcutaneous soft tissue. The recommended settings for subcutaneous soft tissue coagulation are provided in detail in Section C.1 RECOMMENDED SETTINGS & TREATMENT PARAMETERS of the Instructions for Use.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Evaluator-Blinded Study evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of the Renuvion APR Device to Improve the Appearance of Lax Tissue in the Neck and Submental Region).

Apyx analyzed real-world evidence gathered from 6 studies in which all procedures used Renuvion APR following liposuction. This data set includes retrospective chart reviews in 1,184 body areas (across 483 subjects in the following body areas: abdomen, arms, back, buttocks, breast/axilla, face, hips/flanks, legs, neck) followed by coagulation of the subcutaneous soft tissues with Renuvion following liposuction. These data were then compared to the adverse event rates for liposuction alone established in a published meta-analysis. This data supports the safe use of the device for its proposed indications for use.

8. Substantial Equivalence

The Renuvion APR handpiece is the predicate device; therefore all technological and performance characteristics are the same. The only difference is the addition to the indications for use.

9. Substantial Equivalence Determination

The subject device and predicate device are identical with the exception of the modification to the intended use statement to specify that the Renuvion® APR Handpiece is intended for the coagulation of subcutaneous soft tissues following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring. Apyx was able to assess the device based on a large set of retrospective chart reviews.

No new risks were identified in the risk analysis or real-world evidence and published literature analysis. Renuvion treatment adverse events (AEs) compared to the realworld evidence gathered for the liposuction treatments in the literature review demonstrated there are no new or increased risks for Renuvion procedures following liposuction procedures compared to liposuction alone. These findings support the proposed indications for use.

{10}------------------------------------------------

10. Conclusion

The Renuvion APR is identical in terms of principle of operation, mechanism of action and sterilization methods to the predicate device, Renuvion APR (K220970 and K223262). The only difference between the subject and predicate devices is the indications for use statement. The clinical data presented in this 510(k) supports the substantial equivalence of safety and effectiveness of the subject device for the proposed indications for use. Therefore, the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate, and the data presented supports a substantially equivalent decision.
