Intended Use

The Temperature Diagnostic Accessory is intended for use as a sensing device to measure and display the temperature of the treatment area during procedures with the ND-130 Laser.

Device Description

The Temperature Diagnostic Accessory is a temperature detector which will provide the laser operator with a control panel read out of the temperature of the treatment area.

AI/ML Overview

The provided documentation for the New Star Lasers Temperature Diagnostic Accessory (K973064) does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria. The submission is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting detailed performance studies with acceptance criteria.

Specifically, the "Nonclinical Performance Data" and "Clinical Performance Data" sections both state "None." This indicates that no studies, as typically understood for establishing performance against predefined criteria, were conducted or submitted.

The conclusion states: "The Temperature Diagnostic Accessory is substantially equivalent to other existing automatic temperature measuring accessories." This suggests that the substantial equivalence argument was based on design, intended use, and potentially basic functional comparisons without rigorous performance testing against specific acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the table or address the details about sample size, ground truth, expert involvement, or comparative effectiveness studies because this information is not present in the provided text.

Dear Mr. Hennings:

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 (OS) 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
