    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter for the EndyMed PRO MAX device. It indicates that the device has been cleared by the FDA, but it primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices rather than directly presenting the results of a clinical study designed to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on performance endpoints.

    The document describes performance testing but does not provide a table of acceptance criteria alongside detailed "reported device performance" in the context of a clinical study or specific performance metrics for the indications for use. Instead, it justifies substantial equivalence through comparison of specifications and generic performance testing.

    Here's an attempt to extract the requested information based on what is available in the document:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Note: The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria for each indication (e.g., a specific percentage reduction in pain, or a defined improvement in wrinkles). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating that the device can achieve and maintain a therapeutic temperature similar to its predicate devices, which is presumed to lead to the intended effects. Therefore, the "Acceptance Criteria" here are inferred from the safety and performance testing described.

    Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from testing)Reported Device Performance (from "Tissue Heating Testing")
    Ability of handpiece to maintain therapeutic temperature of 39-45°C.Each handpiece (Shaper Max, iFine Max, Mini Shaper Max, and Contour Max) can maintain a therapeutic temperature of 39-45°C for at least 10 minutes of treatment.
    Bio-compatibility of patient-contacting materials.All handpieces have been tested and determined to be biocompatible.
    Compliance with electrical safety and EMC standards.Successfully completed IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2.
    Software verification and validation.Successfully completed software verification and validation testing in accordance with FDA guidance.
    Accuracy of RF energy output.Bench testing performed to verify the accuracy of the output of RF energy.
    Sterilization process effectiveness (for specific handpieces where applicable).Complied with ISO 11135 for sterilization of health-care products.
    Packaging integrity for sterilized devices.Complied with ISO 11607-1 for packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices.
    Risk management application.Complied with EN ISO 14971 for application of risk management to medical devices.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set:
      • For Tissue Heating Testing: "3 subjects with 3 anatomical sites each." (Total of 9 test sites across 3 subjects).
      • For other tests (Electrical Safety, EMC, Software, Biocompatibility, etc.): The document does not specify sample sizes in terms of human subjects or data sets. These are typically engineering or lab-based tests on the device itself or materials.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective for the Tissue Heating Testing. Given the context of a 510(k) summary, these tests are typically part of a prospective verification and validation effort by the manufacturer.

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

    The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth for the "test set" in the traditional sense of clinical endpoints for the indications. The tissue heating test measures temperature, which is an objective physical parameter.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not mention any adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. This is expected as the described performance testing (tissue heating, electrical safety) involves objective measurements rather than subjective expert assessment.


    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done according to the provided document. The submission focuses on substantial equivalence based on technical specifications and bench/performance testing, not clinical comparative effectiveness with human readers.


    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    The device described is a physical medical device (Radiofrequency system with handpieces). While it contains software, the "performance testing" described (e.g., tissue heating) refers to the device's physical output characteristics, not an AI algorithm's standalone diagnostic or detection performance. Therefore, the concept of "standalone performance" for an AI algorithm is not applicable in the context presented.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the "Tissue Heating Testing," the "ground truth" is the measured temperature (39-45°C) achieved and maintained on the tissue. This is an objective, physiological measurement, not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in a clinical trial sense for efficacy.


    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not mention a training set. This is because the device is a physical RF energy delivery system, and the "performance testing" described is for verification of its physical properties and safety, not for training a machine learning or AI algorithm.


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

    Since no training set is mentioned, this question is not applicable.

    Intended Use

    The EndyMed Contour Handpiece is intended for the treatment of the following medical conditions; using the Contour applicator for delivery of non-thermal RF combined with massage:

    • · Relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm
    • · Temporary improvement of local blood circulation
    • · Temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
    Device Description

    EndyMed's EndyMed Contour Handpiece is a treatment handpiece to be attached to the FDA cleared EndyMed Imagine TC Skin Treatment System (Imagine K08346). The EndyMed Contour Handpiece combines suction module that creates vacuum energy and emits bipolar RF energy that flows between the electrodes to create thermal heating of the tissue.

    The Vacuum is used for the massaging of deep tissues by creating mild to deep suction. The vacuum massage contributes to the sub-dermal and adipose tissues shrinkage and improves the contact surface between electrodes and tissue.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the EndyMed Contour Handpiece. It details the device's intended use, technological characteristics, and a claim of substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain the specific information requested regarding acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device study, and the detailed study description you've outlined.

    The document discusses performance tests for the EndyMed Contour Handpiece itself (e.g., power output, temperature, vacuum pressure), but this is validation of a physical medical device, not a study proving an AI/ML algorithm meets acceptance criteria.

    Here's why the requested information cannot be found in the provided text:

    • No AI/ML Component: The EndyMed Contour Handpiece is described as an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device accessory that uses RF energy and vacuum mechanical manipulation. There is no mention of an AI/ML component or algorithm in its description or intended use.
    • Study Type: The "performance data" and "summary of clinical performance data" refer to lab performance tests, design validation, and software verification and validation for the physical device, and a claim that no clinical studies were necessary to show substantial equivalence with its predicate devices because it has the same intended use, clinical indication, and technology. This explicitly states new clinical studies were not performed for this submission.
    • Ground Truth: Since no clinical studies were performed, there is no discussion of establishing ground truth, expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data for a test set.
    • Sample Sizes/Experts/Adjudication/MRMC: These are all concepts relevant to clinical or performance studies evaluating an AI/ML algorithm's effectiveness against a ground truth, which were not conducted for this submission.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and study proving device meets acceptance criteria, as the provided text does not describe such a study for an AI/ML-driven medical device.

    The document is a regulatory submission for a physical medical device (EndyMed Contour Handpiece), focusing on its technical specifications and substantial equivalence to existing devices, rather than the performance evaluation of a novel AI/ML algorithm.

    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

    • No, a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool; it's an electrosurgical applicator.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    • While the device itself operates without human intervention post-activation, this question is typically relevant for diagnostic algorithms or AI. For this medical device, the "standalone" performance refers to its ability to achieve its intended physical effect (electrocoagulation and hemostasis) as demonstrated in the ex vivo studies. It is not an "algorithm only" type of device.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • The "ground truth" for this device's performance was established through measurable physical and biological effects in ex vivo laboratory settings and animal tissues. This included:
      • Evaluating thermal and biological effects.
      • Measuring power control and accuracy.
      • Testing safety features functionality.
      • Validating needle depth.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not applicable. This device is a medical device for electrocoagulation and hemostasis, not an AI/machine learning algorithm requiring a "training set" of data in the conventional sense. Its design and performance are based on engineering principles and physical testing.

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

    • Not applicable, as there was no "training set" in the context of AI/machine learning for this device.

    The Glow by EndyMed is a noninvasive device intended for use in Dermatologic and General Surgical procedures. The TC applicator is indicated for mild to moderate facial wrinkles and rhytides. The FSR applicator is indicated for Dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin.

    Device Description

    The EndyMed Glow is a non-invasive unit consists of a user interface, programmable logic controller (PLC), an RF power module, internal electronics, and treatment handpieces. The user interface allows the selection of treatment parameters by pressing on the treatment buttons; A LCD screen displays the current treatment settings. The PLC is a specially configured computer that provides the operational and safety functions of the system. The system is connected to one or two out of 2 TC handpieces with different size electrode areas for different treatment sites, or to a FSR handpiece. The RF power module provides RF energy to the handpiece, producing a sinusoidal signal at 1MHz frequency.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the "Glow by EndyMed" device. This document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. It does not contain information about a clinical study designed to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria.

    The document primarily focuses on:

    • Device Description and Intended Use: Describing what the device is and what it's used for.
    • Predicate Devices: Identifying previously cleared devices to which "Glow by EndyMed" claims substantial equivalence.
    • Performance Standards: Stating compliance with general safety and EMC standards for medical electrical equipment.
    • Technological Characteristics Comparison with Predicates: Asserting that the device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices.

    Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, and MRMC studies cannot be extracted from this document as such studies are not described.

    The document states:

    • "The Glow by EndyMed has the same technological characteristics (i.e., design, material, chemical composition, energy source) as the predicate devices."
    • "The TC applicator has exactly the same RF technology characteristics as the EndyMed Imagine TC Skin Treatment System (K0834610) and the FSR applicator has the same fractional RF technology as the EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR) Applicator (K101510)."

    This indicates that the primary "proof" of meeting acceptance criteria for a 510(k) submission like this is typically through demonstrating substantial equivalence to already cleared devices, rather than through new clinical performance studies with defined acceptance criteria for a novel device. The implicit acceptance criteria are that the device performs as safely and effectively as the predicate devices.

    Intended Use

    The Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR) Applicator is intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin

    Device Description

    EndyMed's Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR) Applicator is a treatment handpiece to be attached to the FDA cleared EndyMed Imagine TC Skin Treatment System (K08346). The FSR Applicator tip emits bipolar RF energy that flows between electrodes to create micro-ablation points on the skin, forming superficial ablation with a volumetric non ablative heating effect in the dermis.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR) Applicator and its 510(k) submission. However, it does not contain the specific details required to fully address your request regarding acceptance criteria and a detailed study.

    The document states that a "performance testing" was conducted and its results "clearly indicate that the Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR) Applicator offers a non-invasive, effective, safe device for skin resurfacing." It also claims the device "is as safe, as effective, and performs at least as safely and effectively as the legally marketed device" (predicate devices).

    Here's a breakdown based on the information provided, highlighting what is missing:


    1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Not specified in documentNon-invasive, effective, safe for skin resurfacing. Performs at least as safely and effectively as predicate devices.

    Missing Information: The document does not explicitly state specific quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum percentage improvement in skin texture, reduction in wrinkles, safety endpoint thresholds). It only provides a general statement about the device's performance relative to safety and efficacy.


    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    Missing Information: The document states "a performance testing" was conducted but does not provide any details on:

    • The sample size of participants or data points used in the test set.
    • The country of origin for the data.
    • Whether the study was retrospective or prospective.

    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):

    Missing Information: The document mentions "performance testing" but does not describe how ground truth was established, nor does it refer to any experts involved in this process or their qualifications.


    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    Missing Information: There is no information provided about any adjudication method used for establishing ground truth or evaluating the test results.


    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 (Based on available information): This device is an applicator for dermatological procedures (physical treatment), not an AI-assisted diagnostic device that would involve human readers interpreting results with or without AI. Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance for human readers is not relevant in this context.


    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    Not Applicable (Based on available information): Similar to point 5, this is a physical treatment device, not an algorithm. Standalone performance (algorithm-only) is not applicable here. The device's performance inherently involves a human operator.


    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    Missing Information: The document does not specify the type of ground truth used for evaluating the device's performance. Given it's a skin resurfacing device, potential ground truths could include clinical assessment scores (e.g., wrinkle scales, skin texture scores), photographic assessment, or potentially histological changes, but none are mentioned.


    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Missing Information: As the device is not an AI algorithm, there is no "training set" in the conventional sense. The "performance testing" described is likely a clinical trial or study on human subjects, not an algorithm training process.


    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    Missing Information: As there is no AI algorithm training set, this question is not applicable.
