The provided text describes the regulatory clearance of "The Evolve System with the Transform Applicator" and includes information about its performance data to demonstrate safety and efficacy. However, it does not present acceptance criteria in a formal table or describe a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor does it explicitly define "acceptance criteria" for the clinical study results.
Based on the information provided, here's an attempt to answer your questions, interpreting some elements from the clinical study summary:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document doesn't explicitly define "acceptance criteria" with numerical thresholds for performance. Instead, it states that "The success criteria for the percentage of subjects were met, with the correct identification rate exceeding 70%" for the photographic assessment. For the primary outcome (circumference measurement), it broadly states "Each of these measures independently demonstrated reduction in fat, and findings were consistent and strongly correlated with each other."
Without explicit pass/fail criteria from the submission, we can infer the "reported device performance" based on the study outcomes:
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Study Narrative) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Demonstration of Safety | No serious adverse events were observed. |
| Demonstration of Efficacy - Fat Reduction (Primary Endpoint) | Circumference measurement by measurement tape, fat thickness caliper measurement, and fat layer ultrasound measurement all independently demonstrated reduction in fat, with consistent and strongly correlated findings. |
| Demonstration of Efficacy - Photographic Assessment | The success criteria for the percentage of subjects were met, with the correct identification rate exceeding 70% (by blinded evaluators). |
| Patient Comfort during Treatment | Average comfort scores were rated between comfortable and indifferent during treatment. Comfort scores statistically significantly improved when comparing initial and later treatments. |
| Patient Satisfaction | The majority of subjects were satisfied with the results. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: 44 subjects.
- Data Provenance: Prospective, multi-site, single-arm clinical study. The country of origin of the data is not specified in the provided text.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Number of Experts: Three blinded evaluators were used to assess the "before and after 3 months photographs."
- Qualifications of Experts: The qualifications of these experts are not explicitly stated (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience). They are only referred to as "blinded evaluators."
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
The document states that "Three distinct measurements were used to evaluate fat reduction: circumference measurement by measurement tape (primary endpoint), fat thickness caliper measurement, and fat layer ultrasound measurement. Each of these measures independently demonstrated reduction in fat, and findings were consistent and strongly correlated with each other." It also mentions that "Before and after 3 months photographs were assessed by three blinded evaluators."
The method for reconciling differences between the three evaluators for the photographic assessment, or if simple majority or consensus was used, is not specified. Therefore, the adjudication method is unclear from the provided text.
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
The provided text describes a single-arm clinical study evaluating the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator. It does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers or AI assistance. The study focuses solely on the device's performance in achieving non-invasive lipolysis and circumference reduction.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This device is not an AI algorithm but a physical device that delivers RF and EMS energy. Therefore, the concept of "standalone (algorithm only)" performance does not directly apply here in the way it would for a software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) or AI-powered diagnostic tool. The study assesses the device's effect on patients.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The ground truth for the efficacy evaluation was based on clinical measurement and observation data:
- Circumference measurement by measurement tape (primary endpoint)
- Fat thickness caliper measurement
- Fat layer ultrasound measurement
- Assessment of before and after photographs by three blinded evaluators.
- Patient-reported comfort and satisfaction.
8. The sample size for the training set
The provided text describes a clinical study validating the device's effectiveness. It does DNOT refer to a "training set" in the context of an AI/ML model. The 44 subjects are part of the performance data or test set for demonstrating the device's clinical efficacy.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
As there is no training set discussed in the context of an AI/ML model, this question is not applicable based on the provided document. The study is a clinical validation of a physical medical device.

Summary of Technological Characteristics
The subject of this 510(k) submission is the expansion of indications for use for the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator to include non-invasive lipolysis (breakdown of fat) of the abdomen. There are no physical changes to the device since its clearance in K210877 which includes both bipolar radiofrequency (RF) / Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) treatment modes. There have been minor software changes to allow the delivery of a sequential RF/EMS for non-invasive lipolysis treatment. Importantly, the parameters of the
{6}------------------------------------------------
delivered RF or EMS pulse are unchanged, the only change is that the treatments are automatically delivered sequentially.
With respect to the proposed additional indication (non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen; reduction in circumference of the abdomen), the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device BTL-899ST (K202199) by BTL and the additional predicate device, SlimShape System (K163415) by Syneron Medical. BTL-899ST is selected as primary predicate, as it similarly supplies RF/EMS to achieve noninvasive lipolysis. SlimShape (K163415) is selected as an additional predicate as its RF treatment parameters closely resemble those used by the subject device. The system is also physically identical to the reference device, Evolve System with T3 Applicator cleared in K210877 (aside from minor software changes). A substantial equivalence chart comparing the similarities and differences between the Transform System and its predicate devices is provided below. None of the minor differences in technological features from the predicates raise any new safety or effectiveness questions, and clinical data confirms that these differences do not adversely impact safety or effectiveness.
Performance Data
Updated software documentation was supplied to support the minimal changes to software.
A prospective, multi-site, single arm clinical study of 44 subjects was completed to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Evolve System with Transform Applicators in circumference reduction. - Treatments of sequential bi-polar RF energy and EMS were performed in 3 sessions, two weeks apart from each other. Patients were evaluated at baseline (pre-treatment) and at follow-up visits at 1 and 3 months post-treatment.
Three distinct measurements were used to evaluate fat reduction: circumference measurement by measurement tape (primary endpoint), fat thickness caliper measurement, and fat layer ultrasound measurement. Each of these measures independently demonstrated reduction in fat, and findings were consistent and strongly correlated with each other.
Before and after 3 months photographs were assessed by three blinded evaluators. The success criteria for the percentage of subjects were met, with the correct identification rate exceeding 70%. Subjects rated comfort during treatment using the Therapy Comfort Questionnaire immediately after each of their three treatments. The average comfort scores for each timepoint were rated as between comfortable and indifferent during treatment. Comfort scores statistically significantly improved when comparing the initial and later treatments, suggesting that subjects either acclimated to the treatment over time or that subsequent treatments are less uncomfortable. The majority of subjects were satisfied with the results.
No serious adverse events were observed.
Overall, the findings of this study provide strong evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the system.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Conclusions
The Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. The Evolve System with the Transform Applicator has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Clinical data demonstrate that the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is as safe and effective as the predicates. Thus, the Evolve System with the Transform Applicator is substantially equivalent.
