    The Origins LipoHarvesting System is used in the aspiration, harvesting, filtering and transferring of adipose autologous tissue for aesthetic body contouring. If harvested fat is to be reimplanted, the harvested fat is only to be used without any additional manipulation.

    Device Description

    The Origins LipoHarvesting System consists of a reusable, closed loop tissue collection system comprised of a medical grade canister, a drain port and a lid intended to be used with a standard liposuction aspiration pump to collect fatty tissue for aesthetic body contouring. As the tissue is harvested from the patient, it enters the collection canister via a port in the canister lid. The physician removes unwanted waste materials from the collection system via the drain port at the base. This process leaves fatty tissue that can be transferred to syringes for autologous fat re-injection.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the regulatory approval (510(k) clearance) for the "Sound Surgical Technologies LLC VASER 2.1 Lipo System." The approval is based on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Sound VASER System, K022051), rather than a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the sense of a clinical trial demonstrating efficacy against specific endpoints.

    The performance testing detailed in the document focuses on compliance with recognized standards for medical device safety, sterility, biocompatibility, software, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility. It does not present specific acceptance criteria with numerical targets for clinical performance or statistically derived device performance metrics.

    Here's a breakdown of the information requested, based on the provided text, acknowledging that much of it is not applicable in the context of a 510(k) summary focused on substantial equivalence and compliance with general safety and performance standards:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    Since this is a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence and compliance with established standards, explicit "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance (e.g., specific percentages for fragmentation, emulsification, or aspiration effectiveness) are not provided in the document. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by adherence to the cited industry standards. The "reported device performance" is a statement of compliance with these standards and the device's predetermined specifications.

    CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Compliance)Reported Device Performance
    Sterilization (User)Compliance with ISO 17665-1: 2006 (Moist Heat Sterilization) for Handpiece, Probes, Handle, and Cannulae."The sterilization of the Handpiece ... will be validated prior to commercial distribution in accordance with ISO 17665-1: 2006." (No results for this. It's a commitment.)
    Sterilization (Provided)Compliance with ISO 11137-1: 2006 and ISO 11137-2: 2006 (Radiation Sterilization) for Infiltration and Suction Tubing."Test results indicate that the Sound VASER 2.1 complies with the Standards."

(This refers to functional bench testing to ensure the device operates as designed, but no specific performance metrics like power output, fragmentation efficiency, etc., are given in this summary.)

    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 (sterilization, shelf-life, biocompatibility, software, electrical safety, EMC, and bench performance) are laboratory and engineering tests, not clinical studies involving patient data or test sets in the typical sense for an AI/diagnostic 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)

    This information is not applicable/provided. The 510(k) summary does not describe any clinical studies where expert-established ground truth would be relevant. The "ground truth" for the various performance tests is defined by the technical standards (e.g., a sterile product tested to ISO 11137 standards, or an electrical safety test to IEC 60601-1).

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

    This information is not applicable/provided. Adjudication methods are typically relevant for clinical studies or image interpretation studies, which are not detailed here.

    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

    A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done or at least not described in this 510(k) summary. This type of study is relevant for AI-powered diagnostic or assistive devices, which this VASER 2.1 Lipo System is not. This is a surgical device.

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

    This information is not applicable/provided. The device described is a physical surgical system, not an algorithm, and its performance inherently involves a human operator (surgeon).

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

    The concept of "ground truth" in the context of this 510(k) submission refers to the established requirements and methods defined by the relevant international and national standards (e.g., ISO, IEC, UL, FDA guidance for software). For example, the ground truth for electrical safety is defined by the limits and test procedures in IEC 60601-1. For sterilization, it's achieving a specified sterility assurance level (SAL) as validated against ISO 11137.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable/provided. As this is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning algorithm, there is no "training set."

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

    This information is not applicable/provided for the same reason as point 8.

    The Sound Surgical Technologies LLC PowerX Lipo System is intended for the removal of tissue or fluids from the body during general surgical procedures including suction lipoplasty for the purpose of aesthetic body contouring.

    Device Description

    The Sound Surgical Technologies LLC (Sound) PowerX Lipo System (PowerX) consists of three major components: (1) an electronic Controller with software, (2) an electronic Handpiece, and (3) a reusable, sterilizable Cannula. The Handpiece is connected to the Controller and to an independent aspiration source. The Controller sends electronic signals to the Handpiece and thereby controls the motion of the cannula that is fitted to the distal end of the Handpiece. The Sound PowerX is a prescription device, and is intended for use by trained medical personnel.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Sound Surgical Technologies LLC PowerX Lipo System. It describes the device, its intended use, and various performance tests conducted to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. However, it does not include information about acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of diagnostic accuracy, which is typically what such a request implies.

    The "Performance Testing" section states that "The Sound PowerX was tested for performance in accordance with its predetermined specifications as specified in Section 11, Device Description - Performance Specifications, of this submission. Test results indicate that the Sound PowerX complies with its predetermined specification." However, Section 11 is not provided in the snippet, so the specific performance specifications are unknown.

    The document does provide information on acceptance criteria and testing for aspects like sterilization, biocompatibility, software validation, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility. This is generally summarized as compliance with recognized standards.

    Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted from the provided text, and significant gaps where information related to diagnostic accuracy would typically be found:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    As mentioned, specific performance specifications for the device's primary function (tissue/fluid removal) are not detailed in the provided excerpt beyond a general statement of compliance. The other "performance" criteria relate to general medical device safety and functionality.

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criterion (if given)Reported Device Performance
    Primary Device PerformancePredetermined specifications (not detailed in this document)Complies with its predetermined specification (as stated in "Performance Testing - Bench")
    SterilizationCompliance with ISO 17665-1: 2006 (Moist heat sterilization for medical devices)Complies with the standard
    BiocompatibilityCompliance with ISO 10993-1: 2003 (Biological evaluation of medical devices)Complies in accordance with the standard
    Software TestingCompliance with FDA guidance for software in medical devices (May 11, 2005) and general principles of software validation (Jan 11, 2002). Predetermined specification.Robust software development, rigorously verified and validated. Complies with its predetermined specification.
    Electrical SafetyCompliance with IEC 60601-1:1988, Aml: 1991, Am2: 1995 (General requirements for basic safety and essential performance) and IEC 60601-1-8: 2006 (Alarm systems)Complies with the standards
    Electromagnetic CompatibilityCompliance with IEC 60601-1-2: 2007 (Requirements and tests)Complies with the Standard

    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 for any of the performance tests. The document refers to "test results" but does not detail the nature of these tests in terms of sample size or data provenance that would be typical for a diagnostic accuracy study.

    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/not provided. The device is a "Suction lipoplasty system" meant for "removal of tissue or fluids," not a diagnostic device that relies on expert interpretation of output to establish ground truth.

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

    This information is not applicable/not provided for the same reasons as point 3.

    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

    This information is not applicable/not provided. The device is not a diagnostic AI system, and therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance metrics are not relevant to its evaluation as described.

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

    This information is not applicable/not provided as it is not a diagnostic algorithm. The device itself is standalone in its mechanical/electronic function, but this question typically refers to the performance of a diagnostic algorithm in isolation.

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

    This information is not applicable/not provided in the context of diagnostic "ground truth." The "ground truth" for the device's technical performance would be its ability to meet its engineering specifications (e.g., proper motor function, suction power, sterilization efficacy), which are implicitly based on established engineering principles and medical device standards.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable/not provided. This question typically refers to the development of machine learning algorithms. The device's software is stated to be designed and developed "according to a robust software development process" and "rigorously verified and validated," implying standard software engineering practices rather than machine learning training sets.

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

    This information is not applicable/not provided for the same reasons as point 8.

    Intended Use

    The SoundVASER Dissection System (Dissection Tips and Handpiece for The SoundVaser System) is indicated for use in when cutting and coagulation of soft tissues is desired, including bleeding control with minimal thermal injury.

    Device Description

    The SoundVASER Dissection System is comprised of an ultrasonic surgical handpiece and associated dissection tips. The ultrasonic surgical handpiece converts electrical energy supplied by the SoundVASER ultrasonic generator into vibratory motion. The vibratory motion is applied to the dissection tip that is attached to the ultrasonic surgical handpiece. The vibratory motion at the tip cuts and coagulates contacted soft tissues.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes a 510(k) submission for the SoundVASER Dissection System. A 510(k) submission is a premarket submission made to the FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is at least as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, to a legally marketed predicate device. This type of submission generally does not require clinical studies with acceptance criteria in the way a PMA (Premarket Approval) submission would.

    Therefore, the provided document does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.

    Instead, the document focuses on:

    • Predicate Devices: Identifying existing devices with similar technical design and operation that have already been cleared by the FDA.
    • Device Description: Explaining how the SoundVASER Dissection System works (ultrasonic surgical handpiece and dissection tips for cutting and coagulation of soft tissues).
    • Intended Use: Stating the purpose of the device.
    • Summary of Technological Characteristics: Arguing that the device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices based on design, operation, materials, sterilization, and intended use, thus creating no new safety or efficacy issues.

    In summary, this document is a substantial equivalence claim, not a report of a study designed to meet specific performance acceptance criteria.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or clinical study outcomes because that information is not present in the provided text.
