Intended Use

The Diode Laser Hair Removal System (Model: MBT-Diode Laser) is intended for hair removal, permanent hair reduction on all skin types (Fitzpatrick skin type I-VI), including tanned skin. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term. stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.

Device Description

Diode Laser Hair Removal System (Model: MBT-Diode Laser) is a surgical device, which is intended for hair removal, permanent hair reduction on all skin types (Fitzpatrick skin type I-VI). The Dermatological Diode Laser Systems utilize a semiconductor diode with invisible infrared radiation as a laser source to emit 808nm wavelength laser which is absorbed by melanin. The laser power is delivered to the treatment area via laser handle. The emission laser is activated by footswitch or handle button.

The Diode Laser Hair Removal System consists of the following major components

  • The main console unit that incorporates the main CPU board, power supply modules, laser power supply, laser device, cooling system and switching module
  • Handpiece
  • Footswitch
AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a Diode Laser Hair Removal System (MBT-Diode Laser). It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission does not outline specific, quantified acceptance criteria for the new device as would be seen in a clinical study. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device by comparing technical specifications and adherence to recognized standards.

The table below summarizes the technical comparison provided, where "acceptance criteria" can be interpreted as demonstrating equivalence or justification for differences compared to the predicate/reference devices:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document explicitly states: "No clinical study is included in this submission."
Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of clinical performance data. The evaluation relies on non-clinical (bench) testing and comparison to predicate devices, not human subject data.

Since no clinical study was conducted, there is no data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a test set.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. As no clinical study was conducted and no clinical test set was used, there was no ground truth for a test set established by experts.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As no clinical study was conducted and no clinical test set was used, there was no adjudication method.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No. The document explicitly states: "No clinical study is included in this submission." Therefore, no MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

The device is a hardware product (Diode Laser Hair Removal System), not an algorithm or software-only device. Therefore, the concept of "standalone algorithm performance" as typically applied to AI/software as a medical device (SaMD) is not applicable here. The performance is evaluated based on its physical/electrical characteristics and safety standards.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the non-clinical tests regarding electrical safety, EMC, laser safety, and biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is defined by compliance with internationally recognized standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60825-1, IEC 60601-2-22, ISO 10993 series). The device's performance is measured against the requirements of these standards.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a hardware device submission, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. No training set was used.
