In addition the Blueshine GOLD series Laser is intended for Laser Assisted Lipolysis

The GOLD series Laser is designed with 4 major subsystems: (1) an external structure; (2) power electronics; (3) display with control electronics, which controls the power electronics, the user interface and the laser source temperature via a thermostat board; and (4) the laser system with an opto-mechanical block composed of the laser source, the Peltier cooling system with dissipater and fans, the fiber launching system, the red diode aiming beam, and the power calibration system. The external accessories include separate optical fibers and hand pieces for dental, dermatological and surgical applications, or for endovascular applications. The fiber is connected to the system through an SMA 905 socket on the front panel. In addition to the four subsystems, the Diode Laser Family incorporates several safety features, including a remote interlock and a key switch.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that demonstrates the Blueshine's GOLD series device meets those criteria, based on the provided 510(k) summary:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The 510(k) summary does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria in terms of numerical thresholds for device performance. Instead, it presents the "results" of a clinical study, implying these outcomes are considered acceptable for demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the device for onychomycosis treatment.

• No nails worsened.
• 6.25% of nails were unchanged. |
  | Efficacy in treating Onychomycosis (Complete Clearing) | - 77.09% (37 out of 48) of eligible toenails showed complete clear nails (improvement > 2/3).
• 17% (8 out of 48) showed middle clear (improvement 1/3 to 2/3). |
  | Safety | "The procedure is simple and quick with no noticeable side effects and complications." (This statement acts as the reported safety performance, implying an acceptance criterion of "no noticeable side effects and complications.") |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

• Sample Size (Test Set): 48 patients with onychomycosis. The study specifically followed 48 treated nails.
• Data Provenance: The study was conducted in "Two private practices in Padua and Venice, Italy." This indicates the data is prospective (a follow-up study was conducted) and originates from Italy.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their qualifications used to establish the ground truth for the test set. It mentions that "All nails are checked visually and classified," but does not specify who performed this visual check or their credentials.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). It only states that nails were "checked visually and classified." This suggests a single reviewer or a non-adjudicated consensus, but without more detail, it's impossible to be certain.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The study described is a single-arm follow-up study on the performance of the Blueshine's GOLD series laser treatment; it does not compare human readers' performance with and without AI assistance, nor does it involve multiple readers.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

This is not applicable, as the device is a laser surgical instrument, not an AI algorithm. The performance described is the direct clinical outcome of the laser treatment on patients, administered by a human.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for evaluating the device's efficacy was based on visual assessment and classification of nail improvement.
The classifications were:

• Unchanged ( 2/3 improvement)

This is a clinical expert assessment, but the specific expert qualifications are not detailed.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The device is a medical device (laser instrument), not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The "training" for such a device would typically refer to the clinical studies and engineering development that lead to its final design and parameters, rather than a data-driven training set for an algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm. For a physical device, ground truth establishment would refer to the validation of its design and operational parameters through testing and clinical trials, but not in the sense of a machine learning model.
