CoolTone is indicated to be used for:
- Improvement of abdominal tone, strengthening of the abdominal muscles, development for firmer abdomen.
- Strengthening, Toning and Firming of buttocks and thighs.
The CoolTone is a non-invasive therapeutic device. The device produces an electromagnetic field that interacts with the tissues of the human body. By muscle stimulation, the CoolTone helps to strengthen, tone and firm abdomen, buttocks and thighs.
The device housing protects the patient from electrical shock and mechanical injuries. The device is a mobile standalone equipment with four wheels.
Two large applicators are connected to the control unit and can be used simultaneously depending on the treatment. The device is a medical equipment that generates a magnetic field by applying a strong current to an applicator. The CoolTone is equipped with the securement system which is designed to maintain applicator position throughout treatment.
A large color touch screen facilitates the use of the device. The on-screen information guides the user step-by-step through the entire treatment process. The treatment is operated through parameters such as frequency, time and intensity. Three pre-set treatment options are available for users to choose from: Abdomen, buttocks and thighs.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to the CoolTone device (K251378). It states that this device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared CoolTone device (K220601).
Crucially, the document explicitly states: "No clinical testing was required for this change." This means that for the K251378 submission, no new studies were performed to prove the device meets acceptance criteria. Instead, the clearance relies on its substantial equivalence to the predicate device, which presumably had clinical data supporting its initial clearance.
Therefore, many of the requested information points regarding acceptance criteria and study details cannot be directly extracted from this specific 510(k) clearance letter. The information below reflects what can be inferred or directly cited from the provided text about K251378, with an acknowledgement that the core "proof" resides within the documentation for the predicate device (K220601).
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
As stated, no new clinical study was conducted for this specific 510(k) submission (K251378). Therefore, there are no new acceptance criteria or reported device performance for this updated device. The clearance is based on the identical technological characteristics and indications for use to the predicate device (K220601). The "acceptance criteria" for K251378 are implicitly met by demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, meaning it performs as safely and effectively for the stated indications.
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate Device's Clearance) | Reported Device Performance (Inherited from Predicate) |
|---|---|
| Improvement of abdominal tone | Expected to provide improved abdominal tone |
| Strengthening of abdominal muscles | Expected to provide strengthened abdominal muscles |
| Development of firmer abdomen | Expected to provide a firmer abdomen |
| Strengthening of buttocks and thighs | Expected to provide strengthened buttocks and thighs |
| Toning of buttocks and thighs | Expected to provide toned buttocks and thighs |
| Firming of buttocks and thighs | Expected to provide firmer buttocks and thighs |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
Not applicable for K251378 as no new clinical testing was performed for this submission. The substantial equivalence argument relies on prior data for the predicate device (K220601).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable for K251378 as no new clinical testing was performed for this submission.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable for K251378 as no new clinical testing was performed for this submission.
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 for K251378. The CoolTone device is a powered muscle stimulator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device that would typically involve human readers or MRMC studies.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable for K251378. The CoolTone is a physical device for muscle stimulation.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable for K251378 as no new clinical testing was performed. For the predicate device (K220601), clinical trials would likely have used objective measurements (e.g., imaging to assess muscle thickness, physical measurements for circumference changes, or patient/physician reported outcomes on tone/firmness) to establish the ground truth for muscle strengthening, toning, and firming.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable for K251378 as no new clinical testing or algorithm training was performed for this submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable for K251378 as no new clinical testing or algorithm training was performed for this submission.
