10THERMA indicated for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.
10THERMA is a High-Frequency Electrosurgical Unit (ESU). When the high-frequency current generated in the main body is transmitted to the skin through the monopolar electrode connected to the handpiece, heat is generated by the electrical resistance of the skin, and tissue is coagulated with the generated heat.
The 10THERMA is comprised of a main body with a touch LCD monitor, a handpiece, nonsterile mono-polar electrodes (handpiece tips), return pad connector, coupling fluid, cooling gas (cryogen), a power cable, and a foot switch. Among the consisting items, the mono-polar electrodes, return pads, and coupling fluid are single-use and disposable.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the 10THERMA device, which is an Electrosurgical Cutting And Coagulation Device And Accessories.
However, the document states:
"No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed."
Therefore, I cannot provide information on acceptance criteria based on clinical performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set sample sizes and ground truth establishment, as these types of studies were explicitly stated as not being performed or necessary for this submission.
The document primarily focuses on non-clinical test summaries to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as detailed below.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
Since no clinical studies were performed, there are no reported clinical performance metrics directly tied to specific acceptance criteria for device efficacy in human subjects. The acceptance criteria described are primarily against recognized electrical safety, software validation, biocompatibility, and risk management standards.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Standard(s) Met / Compliance |
|---|---|
| Electrical Safety | IEC 60601-1 |
| IEC 60601-1-2 | |
| IEC 60601-1-6 | |
| IEC 60601-2-2 | |
| IEC 62366-1 | |
| Software Validation | IEC 62304 |
| Biocompatibility | ISO 10993-1 |
| ISO 10993-5 | |
| ISO 10993-10 | |
| ISO 10993-23 | |
| Risk Analysis | ISO 14971 |
The document states, "The safety and performance of the product were performed. Thus, the proposed device is determined to be as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate devices." This implies that the device successfully met the requirements of the listed standards, thereby demonstrating its safety and performance equivalently to the predicate.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, as no clinical studies were performed.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as no clinical studies were performed.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable, as no clinical studies were performed.
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, as this device is an electrosurgical unit and not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No clinical studies were performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this device is an electrosurgical unit and does not involve an algorithm for diagnostic performance.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable, as no clinical studies were performed. The "ground truth" for the device's functional integrity was established through compliance with recognized performance and safety standards.
8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as no clinical studies or machine learning components were described.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as no clinical studies or machine learning components were described.

Dear Do Kim:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"
{1}------------------------------------------------
(https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
