The Legend X Desktop System and its accessories are intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin when using VoluDerm Energy (Applicator VO).
It is also intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for non-invasive treatment when using RF Energy and for muscle conditioning to stimulate healthy muscles (TriPollar Applicator).
Legend X Desktop System is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind.
Legend X Desktop System is intended to be operated by a licensed health care practitioner who is present to monitor treatment.
The Legend X Desktop System ("Proposed Device") is a software-controlled capital equipment system that enables application of radiofrequency energy onto the skin for ablation, resurfacing, or noninvasive treatment or muscle activation pulses. The application of radiofrequency energy or muscle activation pulses only occurs under the continuous and direct control of a user with direct visualization, via the user inputs into the console, applicator indicators and subsequent operation.
The proposed device consists of a console with connected applicators, and applicator accessories (disposable tips) needed to perform some of Legend X Desktop dermatological and general surgical procedures. The summary descriptions of each component are outlined below.
Legend X Desktop Console: The Legend X Desktop Console (also known as the Console or Main Control Unit) contains the graphic display interface for the user that is provided by a touchscreen monitor for viewing and a computer running the Legend X Desktop software. The monitor allows for user input during initial setup and throughout the session. The console also provides power and connectivity for the applicators.
Legend X Desktop Applicators: The Legend X Desktop Applicators (TriPollar and VO) are handheld handpieces which deliver energy to the treatments area. Depending on the applicator and selected user inputs, the user can utilize the applicators to deliver either muscle energy onto the muscles of the face and body or RF energy for ablation and resurfacing or noninvasive treatment onto the skin. Each applicator is connected to the console via an applicator connector cord.
Legend X Desktop Software: The Legend X Desktop software provides the user and patient with the ability to safely commence, drive, and stop the operation of the applicators on the skin or muscle area of interest throughout the face and body. It receives user input from the subject console to compute the appropriate output via the chosen applicator connected to the console. It provides a graphical user interface where the treatment timeline as well as status of operation is shown in real time and displays important system status information.
Legend X Desktop Disposable Tip Accessories: The Legend X Desktop disposable tips set is part of the Legend X Desktop Applicator VO kit. The Disposable Tips Set includes:
- . gen12 disposable tip,
- gen36 disposable tip,
- . gen36L disposable tip,
- gen100 disposable tip, and
- H7X7 disposable tip
The patient contacting portions of the disposable tips are constructed of stainless steel and gold plating. The disposable tips are connected to handheld Applicator VO for delivery of RF energy via an array of multi-electrode pins onto the skin surface.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "Legend X Desktop System," a medical device for dermatological and general surgical procedures. My task is to extract information related to acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria.
However, the document does not contain information about studies measuring the performance of the device against specific acceptance criteria in a clinical context (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or effects on human readers). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Legend X Platform, K232903) and compliance with various regulatory and performance standards.
The "Performance Data" section (Section 5.4) lists the types of testing performed:
- Cleaning and Sterilization Validation: Per AAMI TIR-30, ISO 11135, ISO10993-7, ASTM F1980-16, ASTM F 1929-15, ASTM F88/F88M-15, and ISO 11607.
- Biocompatibility Testing: Per ISO 10993-1 and FDA guidance.
- Electrical Safety, Performance, and EMC: Per IEC 60601 series standards.
- Software Verification and Validation (V&V): Per FDA guidance "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff – Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."
- V&V Functional Testing: To verify overall functionality, safety features, and adherence to regulatory standards.
- Animal Testing: Per "General Considerations for Animal Studies Intended to Evaluate Medical Devices."
These are "performance data" in the context of demonstrating safety and fundamental functional equivalence, not clinical effectiveness studies with specific performance metrics (like sensitivity/specificity for AI, or human reader improvement). The document explicitly states: "The testing identified no new issues of safety or effectiveness." This implies the acceptance criteria are largely based on compliance with existing standards and performance comparable to the predicate device, rather than novel clinical performance endpoints.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or answer most of the specific questions as the document does not contain the type of AI/diagnostic study data implied by the prompt.
Here's what can be extracted based on the provided document, addressing the prompt's implied context as best as possible:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since this is a 510(k) for a physical medical device (electrosurgical and muscle stimulation) and not an AI/diagnostic software, the "acceptance criteria" are primarily related to safety, functionality, and equivalence to a predicate, rather than typical AI performance metrics like accuracy.

The GENEO X ELITE device is a non-invasive, tabletop console with a graphical user interface (GUI), which supports two applicator types: the TriPollar Radiofrequency (RF) Applicator utilizing bipolar radiofrequency technology for facial wrinkles treatments and the OxyGeneo Applicator utilizing mechanical vibration for facial massage sensation.
The GENEO X ELITE device is manufactured by Pollogen Ltd. Similar to the predicate device, the STOP U Model UXV device, the GENEO X ELITE device constitutes the same underlying TriPollar technology to employ bipolar RF energy in a non-invasive manner utilizing the TriPollar RF Applicator.
In addition to the TriPollar RF applicator the GENEO X ELITE device comprises the OxyGeneo Applicator. The OxyGeneo Applicator is an electrically powered massager utilizing mechanical vibration generated by an electrically powered motor housed in the applicator.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Pollogen Ltd. GENEO X ELITE device and does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria or a dedicated study setup to prove device performance against those criteria in the way typically found for AI/ML devices.
However, based on the non-clinical and clinical performance data sections, and the general context of a 510(k) submission for an electrosurgical device, we can infer some "acceptance criteria" based on compliance with recognized standards and successful completion of various tests related to safety and functionality. The study described is primarily a Human Factors (Usability) study and various bench performance tests, rather than a clinical efficacy study with quantitative performance metrics.
Here's an attempt to structure the information based on your request, with the understanding that direct quantitative acceptance criteria and corresponding performance from a single study are not explicitly detailed for clinical efficacy in this document.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
As the document is a 510(k) summary focused on substantial equivalence rather than a detailed clinical trial report, specific quantitative acceptance criteria for clinical effectiveness (e.g., specific reduction in wrinkle severity) and their statistically proven performance are not explicitly stated. Instead, "acceptance criteria" are inferred from compliance with recognized safety and performance standards and successful completion of bench and human factors testing.
Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Compliance & Testing) | Reported Device Performance (Summary) |
---|---|
I. Safety & Functionality (Bench Testing) | |
Electrical Safety & Essential Performance (IEC 60601-1) | Complies with requirements of IEC 60601-1 and relevant amendments. |
EMC Performance (IEC 60601-1-2) | Complies with requirements of IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC emissions and immunity). |
Software Verification & Validation | Successfully completed. |
Power Control & RF Accuracy | Successfully completed. Max RF output power: $6.0 W \pm 20%$. RF Frequency: $1 MHz \pm 10%$. |
Overheating Testing | Successfully completed. RF energy delivery is terminated when temperature reaches Cut-off level. |
Biocompatibility (Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Sensitization) | Passed successfully for all patient-contacting materials. |
Mechanical Safety (IEC 60601-1) | Complies with requirements of IEC 60601-1. |
Thermal Safety (IEC 60601-1) | Complies with requirements of IEC 60601-1. |
Radiant Safety (IEC 60601-1-2) | Complies with requirements of IEC 60601-1-2. |
Labeling Verification & Validation | Successfully completed. |
Service Life Analysis | Successfully completed. |
Transportation and Environmental Testing | Successfully completed. |
II. Usability (Human Factors Validation Testing) | |
User Interface & RF Applicator Treatment Protocol Ease of Use & Effectiveness | Demonstrated GENEO X device is easy to operate. Workflow, training materials, and instructions validated. |
Adequacy of User Manual (Instructions for Use) | User manual found adequate for instructing users on operation and maintenance. |
Mitigation of Residual Usability Risks | Risks mitigated through validation in a real-world environment. |
2. Sample Sizes Used for Test Set and Data Provenance
- Human Factors Validation Testing (Phase II):
- Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the number of participants (users or cases) in the Human Factors Validation Testing (Phase II). It only mentions that the study involved "use of the device by the device target users (estheticians / cosmeticians) and performing device operation and knowledge tasks."
- Data Provenance: The document states that the GENEO X Human Factors (Usability) validation test further validated the device "in a real-world environment." Phase I (formative assessment) was performed "on the GENEO X TriPollar RF device (precursor to the GENEO X) in the EU (Belgium and Switzerland) and Canada." The Phase II validation study's specific location is not detailed beyond "real-world environment." This study is prospective, as it involves testing with target users.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- For the Human Factors Validation Testing, "ground truth" would relate to the assessment of usability and the effectiveness of training materials. The document implies that "target users (estheticians / cosmeticians)" performed the tasks and their performance/feedback constituted the data for assessing usability. No explicit mention of independent "experts" establishing a separate "ground truth" for usability, outside of the direct user experience and observation during the study, is made.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- The document does not describe a clinical performance study with an adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1). The Human Factors study's assessment method is not detailed in terms of adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is described for clinical efficacy. The Human Factors study is not an MRMC study for clinical outcomes, but rather for usability. The document focuses on substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on similar technology, safety, and performance, not on demonstrating improved effectiveness over human readers or other devices.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance
- This device is an electrosurgical device for aesthetic use, involving a human operator (esthetician/cosmetician). It is not an AI/ML diagnostic or predictive algorithm, so the concept of "standalone performance" for an algorithm without human-in-the-loop does not apply in the typical sense. The device's operation inherently involves a human user.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- For Bench Performance Data: The "ground truth" for technical specifications (e.g., RF output power, frequency, electrical safety) is established by measurements against recognized international standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2).
- For Human Factors Validation Testing: The "ground truth" is derived from user performance, observations, and feedback from the device's target users (estheticians/cosmeticians) as they interact with the device and training materials in a simulated real-world environment.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- This document does not describe an AI/ML device in the context of a "training set" for an algorithm that learns from data. Therefore, the concept of a training set sample size is not applicable. The device design and safety features are based on engineering principles and compliance with standards, not machine learning training.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm learning.

The Legend X Platform and its accessories are intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin when using VoluDerm Energy (Applicator VO).
It is also intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for the non-invasive treatment of mild to moderate facial wrinkles and rhytides when using TriPollar RF Energy and for muscle conditioning to stimulate healthy muscles (Applicators 1-3).
Legend X Platform is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. Legend X Platform is intended to be operated by a trained professional who is present to monitor treatment.
The Legend X Platform ("Proposed Device") is a software-controlled capital equipment platform that enables application of radiofrequency onto the skin for ablation, resurfacing, or noninvasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytides or muscle activation. The application of radiofrequency or muscle activation only occurs under the continuous and direct control of a user with direct visualization, via the user inputs into the Console, Applicator indicators and subsequent operation of the Foot Switch and Applicators.
The proposed device consists of a Console with connected Foot Switch. Patient Controlled Manual Switch, Applicators, and Applicator accessories (disposable tips) needed to perform some of Legend X dermatological and general surgical procedures.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Legend X Platform, a medical device. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of diagnostic or screening performance.
Instead, the document details various performance data related to the device's safety and effectiveness, focusing on engineering, manufacturing, and software validation. This is typical for a 510(k) submission, which aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than conducting a de novo clinical efficacy study.
Here's a breakdown of the performance data provided, addressing what can be inferred from your request, and indicating what is not available in this document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document doesn't provide a table of acceptance criteria with specific numerical targets and corresponding performance results for diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, etc. This is because the device (Legend X Platform) is an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device, and a muscle stimulator, not a diagnostic or screening tool with such performance metrics.
However, it outlines the areas of performance testing and implies that the device met the requirements of the standards and internal specifications used.
Category | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Reprocessing | Adherence to AAMI TIR-30:2011 for cleaning and disinfection of non-disposable components. | Cleansing and disinfection instructions validated against AAMI TIR-30:2011. |
Sterility | Compliance with ISO 11135:2014 for EO sterilization and ISO 10993-7:2008/AMD-1:2019 for EO residuals. | Single-use disposable sterile (EO) devices and EO residuals validated per specified ISO standards. |
Shelf Life & Sterile Barrier Packaging | Compliance with ASTM F1980-16, ASTM F1929-15, ASTM F88/F88M-15, and ISO 11607. | Evaluated per specified ASTM and ISO standards. |
Biocompatibility | Compliance with ISO 10993-1, 10993-5, 10993-10, 10993-11, and 10993-23, and FDA guidance. | Patient-contacting components evaluated and validated according to specified FDA guidance and ISO standards. |
Electrical Safety, Performance & EMC | Compliance with IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-10, and 60601-2-2. | Device fully evaluated for electrical safety and EMC compliance to specified IEC standards. |
Software | Compliance with FDA guidance for software in medical devices; conformance to design specifications and user needs. | Software developed, tested, and verified per FDA guidance document; V&V testing confirms conformance to design specifications and user needs. |
V&V Testing (Device Functionality) | Device operates as specified by design input requirements, including applicator, switch operations, safety features, and general functionality; adherence to regulatory standards. | Performance testing executed to verify overall functionality, controls, safety features, and adherence to regulatory standards. Results confirm conformance to design specifications and needs. |
Animal Testing | Compliance with "General Considerations for Animal Studies Intended to Evaluate Medical Devices" FDA guidance. | Animal performance testing executed according to "General Considerations for Animal Studies Intended to Evaluate Medical Devices" guidance. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Not Applicable in the traditional sense for diagnostic/screening performance. The device is not a diagnostic tool that produces "test sets" of patient data for performance evaluation like an AI algorithm for image analysis would.
- The validation activities mentioned (reprocessing, sterility, biocompatibility, electrical safety, software V&V, animal testing) would involve specific sample sizes or populations relevant to those engineering and biological tests (e.g., number of sterilization cycles, quantity of materials for biocompatibility, number of software test cases, number of animals in the animal study). However, these details are not provided in this summary.
- Data provenance is not specified for these tests.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. This device review does not involve establishing ground truth from expert interpretations, as it's not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic device. The "ground truth" for the engineering performance tests would be defined by the technical specifications, standards, and established scientific methods (e.g., chemical analysis for residuals, physical testing for seal strength, etc.).
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to how discrepancies in expert readings are resolved to establish a ground truth for a diagnostic task. This is not relevant to the performance data presented for the Legend X Platform.
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 such study was done or reported. This device is an electrosurgical and muscle stimulation platform, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study with AI assistance is outside the scope of this submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable in the context of diagnostic/screening performance. While the device does have "Legend X Software" which was developed, tested, and verified, this software primarily controls the device's operation (energy delivery, user interface, safety features). There is no indication that this software performs a standalone diagnostic or interpretative function that would be assessed in terms of "algorithm only" performance for identifying medical conditions. The device explicitly states it "is intended to be operated by a trained professional who is present to monitor treatment."
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- For the technical and biological performance tests, the "ground truth" is based on:

The YandR System is intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin when using VoluDerm Handpiece.
The YandR System, subject of this submission as well as the cleared systems of the Legend Pro RF Family of Systems (Pollogen Legend+ system (listed as Legend Pro); see K122200, K131758, K171359 and K173503) are computer-controlled RF devices connected to a treatment Handpiece/Applicators and disposable tips. The system is comprised of:
- System Console
- . VoluDerm Handpiece/Applicator and single-use sterile removable tips (present only in the Surgen, Legend Pro and YandR Systems)
The YandR System with its VoluDerm Handpiece is a new model of the modified Legend Pro Family of RF Systems The YandR System as the cleared Pollogen Legend+ system can generate a 1MHz sinusoidal signal applied by the VoluDerm Handpiece and the same VoluDerm Tips with bi-polar electrode pins at up to 62 Joules/per pin. The proposed system relies on the same fundamental underlying technology of the cleared systems with some hardware and software modifications to meet the marketing requirements for a more compact and simple device (tabletop console instead of a floor-mounted, rolling console) with a modern interface and the support of only the VoluDerm Handpiece (removing the TriPollar Applicators), similarly to its predecessor, the Pollogen Ltd.'s Surgen U (K131758). Also, to simplify the system, the YandR system has a hand switch, integrated into the VoluDerm Handpiece (called the Handpiece Trigger), instead of a separated Footswitch.
This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria related to efficacy or clinical performance.
The document is a 510(k) summary for the YandR System, focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Pollogen Legend+ system). It discusses hardware and software modifications and safety and performance testing for electrical, RF, electromagnetic compatibility, and software verification/validation. However, it does not include:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to a clinical outcome.
- Details about sample size, data provenance, ground truth establishment, or expert involvement for clinical performance evaluation.
- Any mention of a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or standalone algorithm performance.
The "studies" mentioned (Risk analysis, Electrical, RF, EMC safety testing, Software verification/validation, System testing) are engineering and safety verification tests, not clinical performance studies demonstrating the device meets specific efficacy acceptance criteria.
The conclusion states that "Test results indicated that the YandR System performs in accordance with its requirements and specifications similarly to its predicate Pollogen Legend+ system...", but these "requirements and specifications" refer to technical performance and safety, not clinical efficacy metrics.

Legend Pro DMA is intended for muscle conditioning to stimulate healthy muscles.
Legend Pro DMA is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind.
Legend Pro DMA is intended to be operated by a trained professional who is present to monitor treatment.
The Legend Pro DMA generates a sequence of electrical pulses which are delivered to the skin overlaying the muscles intended to be stimulated. The Legend Pro DMA consists of a floormounted, rolling System Console that generates voltage output delivered though metal electrodes in the three different DMA Applicators. The System Console generates electrical pulses, and delivers modulated low frequency rectangular biphasic waveforms via electrodes incorporated in different Applicators connected to the System Console:
- . LP DMA Applicator No. 1 for large Areas (includes 6 stainless-steel equidistant electrodes)
- . LP DMA Applicator No. 2 for Medium areas (includes 3 stainless-steel equidistant electrodes)
- LP DMA Applicator No. 3 for Small Areas (includes 3 stainless-steel equidistant ● electrodes)
The Legend Pro DMA is controlled by a proprietary embedded SW. The system SW provides the treatment parameters. The hardware (HW) then implements the actual pulse generation according to the parameters provided by the software. Via the GUI in the System Console, the physician selects the Applicator according to the size of the area being treated and the treatment parameters (Frequency, % Height/Amplitude, pulse width and Treatment Duration). During the treatment session, the operator moves the Applicator across the skin that is lubricated with glycerine.
The provided text does not contain detailed acceptance criteria for the Legend Pro DMA device, nor does it describe a study that explicitly proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the format requested.
Instead, the document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than fulfilling specific, pre-defined acceptance criteria with a detailed study report. The "Performance Data" section lists various tests performed to establish safety and performance, which indirectly support the device's suitability for its intended use, but not against quantitative performance metrics.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, highlighting where information is absent:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in the typical sense of numerical thresholds or performance targets. Instead, it compares the Legend Pro DMA's technical specifications to those of its predicate devices to demonstrate similarity and equivalence.
Parameter | Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated in document, inferred from predicate comparison) | Reported Device Performance (Legend Pro DMA) |
---|---|---|
Intended Use | To be substantially equivalent to predicate (muscle conditioning to stimulate healthy muscles) | Intended for muscle conditioning to stimulate healthy muscles. |
Waveform | Biphasic, similar to predicate's rectangular biphasic waveform. | Biphasic, Rectangular |

Max Output Current | Similar to predicate (e.g., 108mA@500 Ω) | 120mA@500Ω, 100mA@2000Ω, 36mA@10000Ω |
Pulse Width | Within ranges that do not raise issues of safety or effectiveness compared to predicate. | 20 to 400 µsec (Different from predicate's 500 to 2500 µsec, but deemed not to raise issues of safety or effectiveness) |
Frequency | Within ranges that do not raise issues of safety or effectiveness compared to predicate. | 0.78, 1.56, 3.13, 6.25, 12.5 Hz (Different from predicate's 200 to 1200 Hz, but similar to reference's 75 Hz; deemed not to raise issues of safety or effectiveness) |
Net Charge per pulse | Zero net charge, similar to predicate. | 0 @ 500Ω, achieved by symmetrical biphasic waveforms. |
Max Charge per Phase | Similar to predicate (e.g., 45 µC @ 500 Ω @ 200 Hz). | 24µC @ 500Ω @ 12.5Hz |
Max Current Density | Similar to predicate (e.g., 5 mA / cm²). | 1.1mA/cm² @ 500Ω |
Max Power Density | Similar to predicate (e.g., 0.012 W/cm²). | 0.0044 W/cm² @ 500Ω |
Electrical Safety | Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-10. | Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-10. |

Biocompatibility | Compliance with ISO 10993-1. | Complies with ISO 10993-1. |
Study Information
The document describes non-clinical performance data to support substantial equivalence, focusing on design verification and validation processes rather than a comparative effectiveness 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 in the context of device testing for substantial equivalence, as no patient-level test set data is described. The "Performance Data" section details engineering and laboratory testing on the device itself.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. The tests are on the device's components and systems, not clinical data from patients.
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 is not applicable as there is no mention of a "test set" requiring expert ground truth in the clinical sense (e.g., image interpretation). The "ground truth" for the engineering and safety tests would be the established international standards and regulatory requirements.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable as there is no clinical test set requiring adjudication.
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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or reported. The device is a powered muscle stimulator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would involve human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone performance data (algorithm only): The document mentions "Software verification and validation according to IEC 62304 and FDA Guidance 'Principles of Software Validation Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, January 2002'." This confirms that the device's embedded software was validated as a standalone component, but it doesn't quantify its "performance" in the way one might for a diagnostic algorithm (e.g., sensitivity, specificity). Instead, it validates that the software functions as intended and meets safety requirements. There is no "human-in-the-loop" aspect to the software's direct operation regarding its core function of generating electrical pulses.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is regulatory and international standards, such as:
- Risk analysis: ISO 14971
- Electrical, electromagnetic compatibility safety: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10
- Software verification and validation: IEC 62304 and FDA Guidance "Principles of Software Validation"
- Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. The device is a hardware and embedded software system, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set" in the conventional AI sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable for the reasons stated above.
