    Description of the Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria

    The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the MedX LPT 200 Tethered Laser and MedX LPS 200 Portable Laser. This is a premarket notification to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than a de novo clinical trial to prove efficacy from scratch.

    Here's a breakdown of the information requested:

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: Not applicable. No new clinical trials were conducted. The submission relies on existing "clinical practice in Canada" and "over 30 years of research and clinical experience" with therapeutic heating, in addition to specific non-clinical heat testing.
    • Data Provenance: Clinical data provenance is described as "clinical practice in Canada" and general "over 30 years of research and clinical experience." The "heat testing data" in Appendix I is non-clinical. The specific origin of test sets for mechanical, electrical, thermal, environmental, and EMC testing is not detailed beyond being "carried out" on the devices.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not explicitly stated. The submission refers to "clinical practice in Canada" and "academic research" which would implicitly involve healthcare professionals and researchers, but no specific number or detailed qualifications of experts are provided for a defined test set's ground truth.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not applicable. There is no mention of a specific adjudication method for a test set in the context of a new clinical study. The determination of substantial equivalence is made by the FDA based on the provided documentation.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study:

    • No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states: "No new clinical trials were performed on the submitted products for this 510(k) submission."

    6. Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study:

    • Not applicable. This device is a laser therapy product, not an AI algorithm. Its performance is assessed directly through its physical output and functional capabilities, as well as its clinical indications supported by prior art.

    7. Type of ground truth used:

    • The "ground truth" for effectiveness relies on:
      • Clinical Practice/Experience: "Clinical practice in Canada" and "over 30 years of research and clinical experience with therapeutic heating."
      • Academic Research: Cited as demonstrating successful use of infrared lamps for similar indications.
      • Non-Clinical Test Data: "Heat testing data" (Appendix I) demonstrating the ability of the device to warm the surface temperature.
      • Substantial Equivalence: The primary "ground truth" for regulatory approval in a 510(k) is demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device.

    8. Sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set. The "training" for the device's efficacy comes from historical clinical practice and research on therapeutic heating in general, and the predicate devices in particular.

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

    • Not applicable, as there is no training set in the context of an AI algorithm. The basis for the claims of safety and effectiveness are established through:
      • Demonstration of identical indications for use to predicate products.
      • Documentation of technological characteristics being a combination of the predicate device.
      • Non-clinical testing (mechanical, electrical, firmware, thermal safety, environmental, EMC, temperature control, irradiation patterns) confirming functional and safety requirements.
      • Leveraging existing clinical experience and research on the predicate devices and the modality of therapeutic heating.

    Technological Equivalence:Technical characteristics (even if different) do not materially impact safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate."slightly different technical characteristics,... a differences in power source with the Light Force Therapy products are battery-operated devices operated where as the MedX 1000 series operates on grounded current, and provides continuous frequency. These differences in technical characteristics do not materially impact the safety or effectiveness of the device."

    Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

    The "study" or justification for meeting acceptance criteria is primarily a substantial equivalence claim based on a comparison to the predicate device, the LightForce Therapy Acubeam (K001179).

    Detailed Information about the "Study":

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

      • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. There is no mention of a clinical trial test set for the MedX 1000 Series itself to establish efficacy through patient outcomes. The evaluation focuses on technical characteristics and safety testing of the device hardware.
      • Data Provenance: Not applicable for clinical efficacy data. The safety testing (mechanical, electrical, thermal, electromagnetic compatibility) would have been performed by MedX Health Corp. (Canada).
    • 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)

      • Number of Experts & Qualifications: Not applicable. "Ground truth" in the sense of clinical diagnoses or outcomes established by experts for a test set is not present in this submission. The "ground truth" for the substantial equivalence claim would implicitly rely on the prior approval and established safety/efficacy of the predicate device, as determined by the FDA.
    • 4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

      • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. No test set requiring expert adjudication for clinical outcomes 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

      • MRMC Study: No. This device is an infrared lamp, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
    • 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

      • Standalone Performance: Not applicable. This is a physical therapy device, not an algorithm.
    • 7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

      • Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" for this 510(k) submission is the established safety and intended use of the legally marketed predicate device (LightForce Therapy Acubeam). The MedX 1000 Series aims to demonstrate it is substantially equivalent to this predicate. The relevant "ground truth" for its own performance is its compliance with safety standards and its ability to emit energy in the near-infrared spectrum for topical heating.
    • 8. The sample size for the training set

      • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. There is no training set mentioned, as this is not a machine learning or AI device.
    • 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

      • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable.
