Device Description

The Alma Harmony is a Class II Medical Device that combines multiple technologies into one platform for use in dermatologic, aesthetic procedures and pain management procedures. The system is comprised of a micro-processor-controlled and user-friendly console that houses the power supply, the electronics and the user interface. It has 6 applicators that are attached to the console, which can be selected for use in treatment through the user interface.
There are 6 separate applicators. Each handpiece has its own indication for use.

  • Iris Dye VL and Dye SVL is an IPL handpiece operating in the wavelength range of ● 500nm-600nm
  • Iris SHR is an IPL handpiece that operates in the wavelength range of 650nm-950nm
  • Iris Acne is an IPL handpiece operating in the wavelength range of 420nm 950nm ●
  • Iris NIR is near infrared with a wavelength of 1300nm ●
  • Iris Diode is a 520nm diode laser.
AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding Alma Lasers, Inc.'s Alma Harmony device. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices, rather than proving that the device meets specific performance-based acceptance criteria through a clinical study.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested for acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them, particularly regarding AI-assisted performance, reader studies, or detailed performance metrics. The crucial sentence in Section VIII states: "Based on the similarities in the safety and effectiveness profiles of the subject and the predicate, no clinical studies were deemed needed to support this submission."

This means the submission relies on bench testing, software verification/validation, and comparison to predicate devices to demonstrate safety and effectiveness, rather than a clinical trial with acceptance criteria for performance.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study data, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth establishment relevant to an AI/performance study, as this information is not present in the provided document.

§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.

(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
