AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information for the Reliant Technologies, Inc. Unica 315M R/G CO2 Laser System, submitted for 510(k) premarket notification. This type of document establishes substantial equivalence to already legally marketed devices, rather than conducting a de novo study to establish new acceptance criteria and prove performance against them.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets them, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies.

Instead, the document focuses on:

  • Device Description: Physical and operational characteristics of the Unica 315M R/G CO2 Laser System.
  • Intended Use: Broad application in general surgical procedures for soft tissue manipulation.
  • Comparison to Predicate Devices: A detailed table comparing the Unica 315M R/G CO2 Laser System's specifications and indications to three legally marketed predicate CO2 laser systems (Luxar - LX-20SP, Coherent System 451, Sharplan 1020).
  • Substantial Equivalence Argument: The core of the 510(k) submission, asserting that the Unica 315M R/G is as safe and effective as the predicate devices based on shared technological characteristics and intended use.

In summary, this document is a regulatory submission for premarket clearance based on substantial equivalence, not a clinical study report proving performance against defined acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details because the information is not present in the provided text.

Dear Ms. Black:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

{5}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
