Intended Use
The Symmed Elite Aesthetic is intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for treatment of selected medical conditions such as: relief of pain, muscle spasms, increase in local circulation. The massage device provided is intended to provide a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
Device Description
The Symmed Elite Aesthetic device is a radiofrequency generator that is used for a number of pain related applications such as" to relieve pain, muscle spasms and increase local circulation through electrical and thermal stimulation of the treated tissues". In addition, it contains a massage function that provides temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite. The Symmed Elite Aesthetic consists of a console plus 2 handpieces, each with 3 different size electrodes. Each handpiece is capable of being fitted with the optional massager. This allows for flexible treatment parameters throughout the working range and handpieces.

No
The document describes a radiofrequency generator and massage device with standard electrical and thermal stimulation functions. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making processes. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, software validation (to a standard for medical device software, not specifically AI/ML), and basic functional performance (temperature maintenance, frequency, impedance, etc.).

Yes.
The device is intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for treatment of selected medical conditions such as: relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation, which are therapeutic applications.

No

The device description and intended use state that it is a radiofrequency generator used for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, muscle spasms, increased circulation, cellulite reduction) by elevating tissue temperature and providing massage. There is no mention of diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a radiofrequency generator with a console and handpieces, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for treatment of selected medical conditions such as: relief of pain, muscle spasms, increase in local circulation" and for "a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite." These are therapeutic and aesthetic applications, not diagnostic testing performed on samples taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a radiofrequency generator and a massage function, both used for direct application to the body. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. The device's function is based on applying energy and massage to the body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function falls outside of that definition.

This allows for flexible treatment parameters throughout the working range and handpieces.

The Symmed Elite Aesthetic Radiofrequency Device is a therapeutic device used for pain-related applications. The device consists of a console which generates a radiofrequency current which is delivered to the patient, in monopolar form, through two different types of electrodes: resistive and inserted into a handle/handpiece, one handle for each kind of electrode, and the handle is connected to the console by means of a cable.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Verification and validation activities were successfully completed and establish that the Symmed Elite Aesthetic performs as intended. Testing included the following:

IEC 60601-1:2005 (Third Edition) + A1:2012 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance

IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Medical electrical equipment, Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility Requirements and tests

ISO 10993-1: Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process

Software verification and validation testing was conducted to IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016, and documentation provided in accordance with FDA's Guidance or the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.

Performance testing was conducted to show that frequency, impedance, voltage output, and output power all performed within the accepted range.

The Symmed Elite Aesthetic device has been validated through an in-house study to demonstrate that the device can maintain a skin surface temperature of 40°C for 10 minutes of treatment. The 3 resistive electrodes (diameters 30, 50 and 70mm), and the 3 capacitive electrodes (diameters 30, 50 and 70mm), were utilized for the evaluation of the tissue heating in both treatment modalities (capacitive and resistive respectively).

No clinical investigations were conducted as part of this submission.

Dear Ms. Thompson:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
