The MultiCut Solo Morcellator is intended for use under endoscopic visualization for the transurethral mechanical morcellation and removal of the adenoma after enucleation of the prostate during endoscopic surqical procedures in urology.
MultiCut Solo consists of a special endoscopic handpiece in which a blade is inserted which mechanically shreds the tissue. The blade is driven by a dc motor, which is integrated in the handpiece. The motor itself is driven by a motor driver PCB. The blade can rotate at different speeds and thereby change the direction of rotation periodically (so called oscillation). The morcellator handpiece is also connected by an aspiration tube set to a peristaltic aspiration pump. By this pump the crushed tissue can be transported through a hollow channel in the handpiece to a waste container. The device is available with either sterile single use blades and non-sterile reusable blades.
The provided text is related to a medical device submission (K240831) for the MultiCut Solo Morcellator. This document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in a clinical study for a new device.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance tables, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, is not available in the provided text.
The document states that the MultiCut Solo Morcellator is a modification of an already cleared device (K213597), with the specific modification being the addition of sterile single-use blades. The submission focuses on non-clinical performance data to support the substantial equivalence.
Here's what can be extracted from the text regarding the device's assessment:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- No specific acceptance criteria or performance metrics related to diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes are provided. The submission focuses on product safety and function rather than a software algorithm's diagnostic performance.
- The document mentions that the device "successfully passed the following testing" and "is in compliance with all applicable sections of the above-mentioned performance standards." These relate to the safety and functionality of the device and its components, particularly the new sterile single-use blades. The "performance" in this context refers to meeting engineering and safety standards, not clinical diagnostic accuracy.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not applicable. The document describes non-clinical performance data (e.g., sterilization validation, biocompatibility) rather than a test set for diagnostic performance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable. There is no mention of expert-established ground truth for a diagnostic test set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. No test set requiring adjudication is described.
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. The MultiCut Solo is a mechanical morcellator, not an AI diagnostic device, and thus no MRMC study would be relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not applicable. The assessments made (e.g., sterilization effectiveness, biocompatibility) are based on established scientific methods and standards (e.g., EN/ISO 10993, IEC 60601 series) rather than a clinical ground truth for diagnostic accuracy.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. The device is not based on machine learning or AI that would require a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable.
In summary, the provided FDA 510(k) summary focuses on the technical safety and performance of a medical device (a morcellator) and its components, specifically regarding modifications and substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than on the diagnostic accuracy or clinical efficacy that would involve the type of acceptance criteria and study designs typically associated with AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) clearances.

Dermablate System with its accessories is indicated for coagulation, or cutting of soft tissue (skin) in Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Oral Surgery, ENT, Gynecology, General Surgery, Podiatry, and Ophthalmology (skin around the eyes).
Dermablate System, when used with its micro beam handpieces, is intended for use in Dermatological procedures and Skin resurfacing procedures.
Dermablate is a pulsed Er:YAG laser emitting a wavelength of 2940 nm. The system comprises a main console unit, detachable handpieces, and a footswitch. The device can be operated with micro beam and non-micro beam handpieces. The system incorporates a suction unit for the safe removal of laser plume. The laser is fired with a foot-operated switch (footswitch).
This document, a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for the Dermablate laser system, primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, ground truth details, MRMC study, standalone performance) cannot be extracted directly from this document.
The document outlines that "Dermablate passed all the required testing and is in compliance with all applicable sections of the abovementioned performance standards," which implies that the device did meet acceptance criteria related to these standards, but the specific performance results or acceptance thresholds are not detailed.
Here's an analysis of the information available:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide a table of specific acceptance criteria (e.g., target energy output with an allowable deviation) and the device's reported performance against these criteria. Instead, it lists harmonized standards that the device passed. Compliance with these standards is the reported performance in this context, demonstrating that the device meets safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements, among others.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not provided in the document. The testing described (performance testing, software V&V, biocompatibility) typically involves engineering tests, hardware verification, and software validation rather than patient-level clinical studies with test sets in the context of AI/diagnostic devices.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This information is not applicable/provided. The Dermablate is a laser surgical instrument, and its performance evaluation documented here revolves around technical and safety specifications rather than diagnostic accuracy established by expert consensus on a test set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable/provided. As explained in point 3, the evaluation of this device does not involve expert adjudication of a test set in the way a diagnostic AI would.
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
An MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not applicable here. The Dermablate is a therapeutic laser device, not a diagnostic AI system designed to assist human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This concept is not applicable to a therapeutic laser device. The device's function is direct treatment, not an algorithmic standalone performance for diagnosis or image analysis.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The document does not detail "ground truth" in the context of clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy. For a laser device, "ground truth" would relate to its physical output parameters (wavelength, energy, fluence, etc.) matching specifications, and its safety compliance with international standards. The document states that the device "passed all the required testing and is in compliance with all applicable sections of the above-mentioned performance standards," implying that these standards' requirements serve as the "ground truth" for technical and safety performance.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable/provided. The Dermablate is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable/provided. As above, the device does not use a training set.
Summary of available information regarding compliance and efficacy (as per the document):

The MultiCut Solo Morcellator is intended for use under endoscopic visualization for the transurethral mechanical morcellation and removal of the adenoma after enucleation of the prostate during endoscopic surgical procedures in urology.
The MultiCut Solo consists of a special endoscopic handpiece in which a blade is inserted which mechanically shreds the tissue. The blade is driven by a dc motor, which is integrated in the handpiece. The motor itself is driven by a motor driver PCB. The blade can rotate at different speeds and thereby change the direction of rotation periodically (so called oscillation). The morcellator handpiece is also connected by an aspiration tube set to a peristaltic aspiration pump. By this pump the crushed tissue can be transported through a hollow channel in the handpiece to a waste container.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for a medical device called "MultiCut Solo Morcellator." This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on technological characteristics and performance standards. Itdoes not contain information about a clinical study involving a dataset, human readers, or AI assistance. Therefore, I am unable to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML-based medical device.
The information provided is typical for a traditional medical device 510(k) submission, detailing:
- Device Description: MultiCut Solo Morcellator, an endoscopic handpiece with a motor-driven blade for mechanical tissue shredding and aspiration.
- Intended Use: Transurethral mechanical morcellation and removal of prostate adenoma after enucleation during endoscopic surgical procedures in urology.
- Nonclinical Performance Data:
- Compliance with various IEC/EN/ISO standards for electrical safety, EMC, software lifecycle, risk management, and biocompatibility.
- "Comparative bench testing has been performed to show the performance equivalence of the subject device to its predicate."
- Comparison to Predicate Devices: A detailed table comparing the MultiCut Solo to two predicate devices (VersaCut + Morcellator and MORCE SCOPE SET 8970) across various characteristics like principle of operation, intended use, speed regulation, dimensions, materials, power supply, rotation speed, aspiration, electrical requirements, suction pump, and reusability.
Based on the provided document, the following items CANNOT be addressed as they are not present in the text:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to a data-driven or AI/ML study. The "acceptance criteria" discussed are primarily compliance with safety and performance standards for a mechanical device.
- Sample size used for the test set and data provenance. No test set of data (like images or patient records) is mentioned.

- Standalone (algorithm-only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.).
- Sample size for the training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established.
The document concludes that "The non-clinical performance testing conducted supports that the device can be used safely and effectively. The differences in the indications for use and technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and effectiveness, and the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate devices." This statement refers to bench testing, compliance with design standards, and similarity to existing devices, not a study proving performance on a clinical dataset.

It outlines the device's indications for use, technological characteristics, and a comparison to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria for an AI/machine learning medical device.
The document states:
- "Clinical Performance Data: None" on page 6.
- "Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation is provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". PicoStar passed all the required testing and is in compliance will all applicable sections of the abovementioned performance standards." on page 5. This refers to software engineering practices, not a performance study of an AI algorithm based on clinical data.
The PicoStar device is a laser surgical instrument, and its clearance is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate laser device, supported by non-clinical performance data (electrical safety, EMC, software lifecycle processes, risk management) and biocompatibility, not by a clinical study on AI performance metrics.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI device meets those criteria from this document. The document pertains to the regulatory clearance of a laser device, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or therapeutic device that would require such performance studies.

The MeDioStar laser system is intended for the treatment of benign vascular lesions.
The MeDioStar laser system is intended for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions.
The MeDioStar laser system is intended for hair reduction defined as reduced hair growth with or without maintenance when measured at 6, 9 and 12 months.
The MeDioStar is a pulsed diode laser emitting a wavelength of 750 - 950 nm that is operated with a handpiece in contact with the skin. The system comprises a main console unit, a handpiece and is triggered by means of a footswitch. There are several handpieces, the user can choose from. Moreover, a specific software controls the device functions and allows the user selections through the touchscreen display.
This document is a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for a medical device, specifically a laser system. It outlines the modifications to an existing device, the MeDioStar, and demonstrates its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.
Based on the provided document, there is no information regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance metrics against those criteria, or clinical study details (sample size, data provenance, expert adjudication, MRMC, standalone algorithm performance, ground truth establishment for test or training sets).
The document explicitly states: "Clinical Performance Data: None".
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through:
- Technical Modifications: Listing specific changes from the predicate device (e.g., GUI design, handpiece port, repetition rate, handpieces, USB drive).
- Comparison of Technical Characteristics: A table comparing the subject device (MeDioStar) to its main predicate (MeDioStar NeXT Family) and two reference predicates (Primelase Excellence, LightSheer Infinity/Duet/Desire) across various parameters like laser source, wavelength, pulse duration, fluence, repetition rate, intended use, and handpiece ports.
- Non-clinical Performance Data: Listing standards to which the device complies (e.g., ISO 60601-1, IEC 62304, ISO 14971) and stating that software verification and validation testing were conducted successfully.
The FDA 510(k) process for this device type often relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than requiring new clinical studies and performance benchmarks against specific acceptance criteria. This is particularly true for modifications to existing cleared devices, as is the case here ("Special 510(k)").

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Asclepion Laser Technologies GmbH MultiPulse HoPLUS. It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
However, the document does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria for performance, a study to prove the device meets those criteria, or details regarding sample sizes, expert involvement, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case studies.
The document states:
- Non-clinical Performance Data: "Verification and Validation activities. These activities comprises the verification and validation of the software, the verification of the device, the verification of the fiber, the verification of the laser, an Investigation Report and the Final Test Report. These investigations lead to the conclusion, that the device is as safe and effective as the predicates and no additional risks occur."
- Clinical Performance Data: "None"
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot complete most of the requested information. The device's substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical performance data (verification and validation) and comparison to predicate devices, not on a specific clinical study with defined acceptance criteria and human expert evaluation in the way requested.

The MicroSpot Handpiece is intended for Dermatological procedures and Skin resurfacing procedures.
The MicroSpot Handpiece is a handpiece with microbeam output to be used with the previously cleared MCL 31 Dermablate (K150140). The MCL 31 Dermablate is a pulsed Er:YAG laser emitting a wavelength of 2940 nm. The system comprises a main console unit, a handpiece and is triggered by means of a footswitch. The MCL 31 can be operated with a handpiece of larger spotsize or with a microbeam handpiece. The system incorporates a suction unit for the safe removal of laser plume.
This document is a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for the Asclepion Laser Technologies GmbH MicroSpot Handpiece. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria or reporting on a clinical study for novel performance claims. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design, and ground truth cannot be extracted from this document.
However, based on the provided text, here is what can be inferred and what information is not available:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This document does not specify formal clinical acceptance criteria or report on device performance against such criteria. The "performance" described relates to technical characteristics and safety testing for substantial equivalence.
Item | Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated for clinical performance) | Reported Device Performance / Assessment |
---|---|---|
Clinical Performance | (N/A – not a novel device requiring specific clinical performance acceptance criteria) | Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices for intended use (Dermatological and Skin resurfacing procedures). |
Technical Performance | Meets all design specifications; Conforms to specified ISO and IEC standards. | Laboratory testing validated and verified design specifications were met. Evaluated single microspot size, laser pulse duration, energy release, and energy in a duration test. |
Safety | Safe for its intended use. | Nonclinical (standards compliance, lab testing) and animal performance data (histological study on pig skin) supported safety. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Animal Performance Data (Histological Study):
- Sample Size: 9 pigs.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the company is based in Germany. The study appears to be prospective (controlled experimental application of the device).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not specified in the document. The histological samples were collected and presumably analyzed by experts, but their number and qualifications are not provided.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not specified.
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. This document describes a laser handpiece, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI-related effectiveness is discussed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Not applicable, as this is not an algorithm-based device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Animal Performance Data (Histological Study): Histological analysis of biopsied pig skin samples. This serves as a form of ground truth for assessing tissue response, ablation depth/width, and thermal damage.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable.
