Intended Use

The PICOCAREMAJESTY is indicated for the following at the specified wavelength:

· 1064 nm: Removal of tattoos for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I - VI) to treat the following tattoo colors: black,brown, green, blue and purple.

· 532 nm: Removal of tattoos for Fitzpatrick skin types I · III to treat the following tattoo colors: red, yellow and orange.

· Treatment of benign pigmented lesions for Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.

Device Description

The PICOCAREMAJESTY is the solid state laser capable of delivering energy at wavelengths of 1064mm or 532nm at short durations. The device system consists of a main unit, an articulated arm, a handpiece and a foot switch. The laser output is delivered to the skin through the articulated arm delivery system terminated by the handpiece. The fluence (energy density) and frequency are controlled from the LCD display/Touch Pad located on the front of the main unit. The LCD display is used to obtain feedback from the system, such as the number of pulses delivered or spot size selected.

For treatment, the user can select the appropriate fluence value. (The treatmented is provided in the user Manual) The energy is changed automatically in accordance with the selected fluence (down) button and then, the fluence is increased / decreased by 0.1 J/cm2.

The selectable fluence values are 0.2 to 10.0 J/cm2 at 1064nm and 0.1 to 2.5 J/cm2 at 532nm

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the WON TECH Co., Ltd. Picosecond Nd:YAG Laser (PICOCAREMAJESTY). This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and performance data for a novel device, especially not data related to complex AI algorithms or diagnostic accuracy studies.

Therefore, many of the specific details requested in your prompt, particularly those related to AI algorithm performance, human-in-the-loop studies, ground truth establishment, and training/test set sample sizes, are not present in this document. The device in question is a laser for tattoo and pigmented lesion removal, which typically undergoes performance testing based on physical parameters, and electrical/software safety, rather than diagnostic accuracy studies with expert readers.

However, I can extract information related to what is available in the document:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on provided documentation's summary of testing):

The document primarily relies on comparisons to predicate devices and adherence to established safety and performance standards for laser surgical instruments. It doesn't present "acceptance criteria" in the sense of a statistical threshold for diagnostic accuracy for a new AI algorithm, but rather lists the device's technical specifications and verifies compliance with recognized standards.

Acceptance Criteria (from Non-Clinical Tests)Reported Device Performance (from "Performance Testing")

Missing Information and Why it's Not Applicable/Present:

The prompt asks for details typically found in submissions for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) enabled medical devices, particularly those for diagnostic purposes. This 510(k) pertains to a physical laser device for tattoo and lesion removal, which does not employ AI for decision-making or diagnosis. Therefore, the following information is not covered in this document:

  1. Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance: No test set in the context of diagnostic accuracy is described. Performance is based on bench testing of physical parameters.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications: Not applicable as there's no diagnostic component or "ground truth" to establish for a test set in this context.
  3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is not AI-enabled, nor is it a diagnostic aid for human readers.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable as there is no AI model being trained.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Hyun Sik Yoon:

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.
