Device Description

The Dawn Diode Laser System manufactured by SWOT LASERS is a surgical device at the cutting edge of technology, designed for a wide variety of soft tissue procedures. The Dawn Diode Laser System utilizes a solid state diode as laser energy source. The energy is delivered to the operating area by means of a delivery system consisting of a flexible fiber connecting the laser source and the handpiece. The device is activated by means of footswitch.
This laser instrument consists of fiber connecting diode laser system, power supply system and microcomputer control system.
The Dawn Diode Laser System employs the diodes with wavelengths of 450nm, 635nm, 810nm, 980nm and 1064nm, and the device emits laser output energy in blue (450nm), red (635nm), orange (980nm) spectra respectively.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the "Dawn Diode Laser System." It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a dedicated study.

Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance tables, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, and MRMC studies is not available in these documents. This is typical for a 510(k) submission where the primary goal is to show that a new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, often by demonstrating similar technological characteristics and performance through non-clinical testing.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what cannot:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

This information is not provided in the format requested. The document focuses on comparing the proposed device's technological characteristics to predicate devices. It states that "non-clinical tests" were performed to "verify the performance requirements" and that "the testing results do support substantial equivalence." However, it does not specify what those performance requirements (acceptance criteria) were or numerically report the device's performance against them.

The tables provided (Table 1 and Table 2) are comparison tables of technological characteristics between the proposed device and predicate devices, not performance against acceptance criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

Not applicable/Not provided. The document explicitly states: "No human clinical data is needed for Dawn Diode Laser System." The non-clinical tests mentioned are likely laboratory-based and do not involve human subjects or data provenance in the clinical sense.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

Not applicable/Not provided. As no human clinical data was used, there was no "test set" requiring expert ground truth establishment in this context.

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

Not applicable/Not provided. Given the absence of a human clinical test set, no adjudication method was used.

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/Not provided. This device is a laser system, not an AI diagnostic tool.

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

Not applicable/Not provided. This is a hardware device; the concept of "standalone performance" for an algorithm doesn't apply directly. The non-clinical tests assess the device's physical and functional properties.

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

Not applicable/Not provided. For non-clinical tests, "ground truth" would typically refer to established engineering standards or physical measurements, not clinical outcomes or expert consensus on patient data.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable/Not provided. There is no mention of a "training set," as this isn't an AI/machine learning device.

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

Not applicable/Not provided. No training set was used.

The document lists several non-clinical tests that were performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence and meet "performance requirements":

  • Study Type: Non-clinical (laboratory/engineering) tests.
  • Proof of Meeting Acceptance Criteria: The document states, "It shows that the testing results do support substantial equivalence." and "Demonstrated by the safety and performance tests, the characteristics of Dawn Diode Laser System are respectively equivalent to those of the predicate devices."
