The resulting flash excites the Alexandrite laser medium, causing the emission of a pulse of laser energy. Power supply and the laser resonator to the laser resonator is calculated from a power supply to the laser energy is set via the LCD monitor is a certain amount of power. In the laser resonator is a certain amount of electrical energy to the flash lamp by changing the electrical energy into light Alexandrite broiling to momentarily strong light in the laser medium to generate a laser. The generated laser is a laser return to convert heat energy reaches thssue is cut by the heat energy, destruction, removal. The electro-optic modulator with a polarizer introduced into the cavity creates the picoseconds pulse irradiation pulses. The sealed top metal cover protects all optical components from dust and humidity and blocks the visible and invisible scattering light from the laser head. The system delivers laser energy at a wavelength of 755 nm. The output of the laser is delivered to the treatment area through an articulated Arm with a handpiece. A trigger (Foot Switch) controls the user selects and sets the treatment parameters and other functions operated by software on the graphical user interface.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Pastelle Pro laser system. It details the device's technical specifications and compares them to predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence for regulatory clearance. However, it explicitly states:
"No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed."
This means that the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria, reported device performance from clinical studies, sample size, data provenance, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or how ground truth was established for clinical data.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details. The 510(k) summary focuses on non-clinical bench testing to demonstrate compliance with electrical safety, EMC, software validation, and biocompatibility standards, and on comparing technical characteristics to previously cleared devices.
Based on the provided text, here's what can be stated about the testing and lack of clinical study information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- Cannot be provided. The text explicitly states, "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed." The performance testing mentioned (Laser wavelength, output power, pulse duration, pulse frequency) are technical specifications and not acceptance criteria or reported performance from a clinical study on human subjects or patient outcomes.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Not applicable for clinical studies.
- For non-clinical bench tests (Electrical Safety, EMC, Performance Testing), the sample sizes are not explicitly mentioned but typically refer to test units of the device itself rather than patient data.
- Data provenance for bench tests would be the manufacturer's testing facilities.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. No clinical test set with ground truth established by experts was performed.

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. No clinical studies, and therefore no MRMC studies, were performed. The device is a laser system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. The device is a physical laser system, not a standalone algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Not applicable for clinical ground truth. For non-clinical tests, "ground truth" would be the device's adherence to engineering specifications and safety standards as measured by calibrated test equipment.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. As no clinical studies were performed, there are no training sets of patient data mentioned.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As no clinical studies were performed, there are no training sets or ground truth establishment methods for clinical data mentioned.
Summary of what the document does provide regarding testing:

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 applicable and therefore not provided, as "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed." The "test set" for non-clinical bench testing would typically refer to the specific laser units, components, or materials tested, not a patient cohort. The document does not specify the number of units or samples subjected to each bench test.
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 and therefore not provided, as "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed." Ground truth established by medical experts is relevant for studies involving human diagnosis or treatment outcomes, which were not conducted for this submission.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable and therefore not provided, as "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed." Adjudication methods are used in clinical trials or diagnostic accuracy studies involving human interpretation.
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. The device is a laser system for surgical and aesthetic applications, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable to the V-Laser system, as it is a physical laser device, not a standalone AI algorithm. "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed."
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
This information is not applicable as "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed." For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be the specifications and requirements outlined in the various engineering and biocompatibility standards.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable. Training sets are relevant for machine learning algorithms. The V-Laser is a hardware device. "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable. "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed."
Summary of the Study that Proves the Device Meets the Acceptance Criteria (Non-Clinical):
The "study" in this context refers to a series of non-clinical bench tests and validations. The document states:
"Verification and validation activities were conducted to establish the performance and safety characteristics of the V-Laser. The results of these activities show that there are no any new safety and effectiveness issues. Therefore, the V-Laser is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate."
These activities included:
- Electrical Safety, Electromagnetic Compatibility, and Performance Bench Tests: These tests verified that the device met all design specifications and complied with AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-22, and IEC 60825-1 standards.
- Software Validation: The software, identified as having a MODERATE level of concern, was designed, developed, verified, and validated according to a software development process and FDA guidance.
- Biocompatibility Testing: Tests were performed according to ISO 10993-1 and FDA Blue Book Memo #G95-1, covering cytotoxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, and skin sensitization for materials in contact with the body.
The "proof" that the device meets these non-clinical "acceptance criteria" is the statement that the tests were conducted and the device "complies" with the listed standards and its design specifications. No detailed results, specific measurements, or pass/fail thresholds beyond the general statement of compliance are provided in this summary.
