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.

§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.

(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
