The CO2 Laser Machine (Lume) is used for body soft tissue vaporization and coagulation in dermatology and plastic surgery, general surgery, gynecology.
The CO2 Laser Machine generate a 10,600nm wavelength, which is absorbed by water in the tissue.
The laser energy heats up the water until it reaches a boiling point causing the evaporation of the affected tissue. Some heat is absorbed by tissue adjacent to the ablated target area, causing tissue coagulation which induces hemostasis (the cessation of bleeding) as well as thermal stimulation of deep skin layers, which induces fibroblast stimulation and neocollagenesis (the formation of new collagen).
It looks like the provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for the Lume CO2 Laser Machine primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on technological characteristics and adherence to general safety and performance standards for laser devices.
It does not contain information about a study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria related to a specific clinical performance metric (like accuracy for an AI device).
Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, nor details about sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, as these are not present in the provided document.
The document discusses:
- Indications for Use: The CO2 Laser Machine (Lume) is used for body soft tissue vaporization and coagulation in dermatology and plastic surgery, general surgery, gynecology.
- Technological Characteristics: This section compares the Lume's technical specifications (e.g., laser type, wavelength, power, spot size) to two predicate devices, arguing that differences do not negatively impact safety or effectiveness.
- Non-clinical Performance Tests: It lists compliance with various ISO and IEC standards related to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and laser safety.
- Biocompatibility: It mentions evaluation in accordance with ISO 10993 for cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, and irritation.
In summary, the provided text does not describe the kind of clinical or AI performance study you are asking about. It details how the device is considered substantially equivalent to existing laser devices, primarily through comparison of technical specifications and adherence to general safety standards.
If this were an AI/software device, the 510(k) submission would typically include a "Software Validation" section or a specific study demonstrating performance against a defined ground truth, with detailed acceptance criteria for metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC. This document does not contain such details because it's for a physical CO2 laser machine.

6. Comparison Summary
6.1 Discussion of Similarities and Differences
The features of the CO2 Laser Machine are compared to the two predicate devices in the form of above tables.
The Proposed device and the predicate devices differ in the following areas.
-
Analysis 1: Aiming Beam
The aiming beam power of the proposed device is different from that of the two predicate devices, and the aiming beam wavelength of the target device is same with the predicate device 1, similar to the predicate device 2. The aiming beam only serves as a red light indicator, different power only affects the brightness of red light, It has no impact on effectiveness and safety of the machine. -
Analysis 2: Operation Mode
Although the predicate device1 has additional vaginal treatment mode and S. pulse mode and the predicate device2 has additional pulse and Group pulse mode compared with Proposed device, the effectiveness and safety of other modes should not be affected. -
Analysis 3:Pulse Energy
The pulse energy range of the two predicate devices covers the pulse energy range of the proposed device. It will not result in a negative effect on safety and effectiveness. -
Analysis 4: Pulse Interval/Duration
Although the minimum pulse duration of the proposed device in partial mode are slightly lower than the predicate device1 but the maximum pulse duration and the pulse interval of the proposed device is within the corresponding range of the predicate device1,and the pulse duration and the pulse interval of predicate device2 cover the proposed device's pulse duration and pulse interval, so the difference does not result in a negative effect on safety and effectiveness.
Page 9
-
Analysis 5: Spot Size
Although there is a certain difference in the spot size between proposed device and the predicate devices, the spot size of proposed device is between the predicate device1 (150μm) and predicate device 2 (350μm), so this difference will not result in a negative effect on safety and effectiveness. -
Analysis 6: Spot Density
Although the proposed device's maximum and minimum spot densities are both lower than those of Predicate Device 1, the spot density per unit area is somewhat different due to the larger spot size used in the proposed device, that is, the area covered by a single dot is larger; while compared to the spot density of predicate device 2, the spot density of the prediction device 2 cover the proposed device's spot density, meanwhile the point size of them is similar. This suggests that our device performs similarly to predicate Device 2, and slight differences in spot density from the predicate device2 will not affect safety and effectiveness. -
Analysis 7: Intra-beam Distance
Although the intra-beam distance of the proposed device have some difference from that of the two predicate devices, but it overlaps with the intra-beam distance range of the two predicate devices in a large part, and the intra-beam distance range of the predicate device2 completely covers the intra-beam distance range of the proposed device, so the different will not adversely result in a negative effect on safety and effectiveness. -
Analysis 8: Scan Area Size
The minimum scan area size of the proposed device is different from that of the two predicate devices, the scan area size of the predicate devices 1 is within the corresponding range of the proposed device and the maximum scan area size of proposed device is same with the predicate devices 1 , the scan area size is only for Fractional Graphic area,the slightly different does not result in a negative effect on safety and effectiveness.
