    Device Description

    The Discovery Pico Family includes medical laser devices for dermatology and aesthetic medicine used by healthcare professionals (dermatologists) in professional healthcare environments. The family comprises Discovery Pico, Discovery Pico Plus, and Discovery Pico Derm models, which differ based on installed laser sources and the presence of a Twain connector.

    The device is equipped with a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on a screen for user interaction, allowing for laser parameter settings. It can be used with Twain IPL and Twain 2940 devices (Twain 2940 is separately FDA cleared K173002).

    The laser beam is delivered via an articulated arm with a handpiece and activated by a footswitch. Four types of handpieces are available:

    • Round (diameter): 2 to 12 mm
    • Square (side): 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 mm
    • Microbeam/fractional handpieces: 8, 9 mm (9 mm microbeam handpiece is also called "High Coverage")
    • Rosso handpiece (separately FDA cleared: K211228)

    The device incorporates four main sections:

    • Power electronics: Manages power supply to all device components.
    • Control electronics: Primarily consists of a microcontroller board housing the device's main firmware (FW).
    • Cooling system: Cools the laser source pumping chamber and, for Twain IPL, the IPL flashlamp.
    • Optical bench.

    Twain IPL is an optional accessory handpiece for intense pulsed light (IPL), intended for hair reduction and treatment of various skin lesions. Twain IPL can be cooled or uncooled and supports fixed or changeable guides with wavelength ranges of 650-1200 nm, 625-1200 nm, 590-1200 nm, 570-1200 nm, 550-1200 nm, and 400-1200 nm. Each guide is available in two sizes: small (25x13 mm²) and large (48x13 mm²).

    In picosecond (PS) mode, the device offers "VarioPulse" technology, allowing the user to select three pulse levels corresponding to different pulse durations:

    • Short (S): 450 ps (1064 nm), 370 ps (532 nm)

    • Long (L): 800 ps (1064 nm), 600 ps (532 nm)
    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Discovery Pico Family of laser devices. While it outlines the device's indications for use, its technical specifications, and the non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate safety and effectiveness, it explicitly states "Clinical testing: N/A."

    This means that the submission for this particular device did not include a clinical study (such as an MRMC study or a standalone algorithm performance study) to prove specific performance criteria against a ground truth in a human-in-the-loop or algorithm-only setting. The clearance relies on non-clinical bench testing and comparison to predicate devices, demonstrating substantial equivalence rather than a direct clinical performance study against quantified acceptance criteria for a specific AI-driven task.

    Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment cannot be found in this document because a clinical study with those elements was not conducted or presented for this 510(k) submission.

    Below is a table summarizing the information that is available from the document and indicating where the requested information is "N/A" (Not Applicable) or "Not Provided" due to the nature of this 510(k) submission (bench testing and predicate comparison, not a clinical trial proving AI performance).


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on available information)

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance (as demonstrated by non-clinical tests and comparison to predicates)
    Safety and Essential Performance (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-22)All standards met, tests repeated/updated to current editions and minor electrical/firmware changes. Pulse duration accuracy verified.
    Usability (IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366-1)Usability engineering file updated and addressed.
    Software Life Cycle Processes (IEC 62304)SW verification and validation activities repeated and updated.
    Laser Product Safety (IEC 60825-1)Report updated to include new handpiece and formal updates.
    Non-laser Light Source Safety (IEC 60601-2-57)No changes to Twain IPL affecting test reports.
    Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1)No changes affecting biocompatibility except for disinfection step; cytotoxicity test after reprocessing performed.
    Reprocessing Validation (ISO 17664-1)Disinfection step introduced, and reprocessing validation repeated.
    Mechanical/Electrical Specifications (Comparison to Predicates)Detailed comparison table (Table 3) shows similar or within range specifications for pulse width, energy, fluence, spot size, and repetition rate compared to predicate devices, with rationales for any differences. "Considered to be adequate for the safe and effective use of the device for its indications for use."
    Indications for Use (Substantial Equivalence)Indications for use are maintained as per the predicate device K191842, and the device is deemed substantially equivalent.

    Study Details (Based on available information)

    1. Acceptance Criteria & Reported PerformanceSee table above. Critera are primarily related to safety, testing standards, and equivalence to predicates, not specific clinical performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity for an AI.
    2. Sample Size for Test Set & Data ProvenanceN/A - Clinical testing was not performed. The submission primarily relies on non-clinical (bench) testing and comparison to predicate devices.
    3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground TruthN/A - Clinical testing was not performed. Ground truth in the context of AI performance was not established for this submission.
    4. Adjudication Method for Test SetN/A - Clinical testing was not performed.
    5. MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study & Effect SizeN/A - Clinical testing was not performed. The document states "Clinical testing: N/A." This type of study would fall under clinical testing.
    6. Standalone Algorithm Performance StudyN/A - This clearance is for a medical laser device, not an AI/software algorithm intended for standalone diagnostic or assistive performance requiring such a study. The software/firmware (SW/FW) was updated and verified (IEC 62304), but this pertains to the device's operational control, not an AI for image analysis or diagnosis.
    7. Type of Ground Truth UsedN/A - Clinical testing was not performed. For non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is defined by the specifications and tolerances of the device's output parameters as measured by calibrated equipment.
    8. Sample Size for Training SetN/A - Clinical testing/AI model training was not performed. The device is a physical laser, not an AI model requiring a training set in the typical sense.
    9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was EstablishedN/A - Clinical testing/AI model training was not performed.

    In summary: The FDA 510(k) clearance for the Discovery Pico Family is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices through non-clinical bench testing, adherence to recognized standards for safety and performance (electrical, software, biocompatibility, reprocessing), and comparison of technical specifications. It does not involve a clinical study to evaluate AI performance against specific clinical acceptance criteria or a ground truth derived from expert consensus or outcomes data. Therefore, the detailed questions related to such clinical studies are not applicable to this specific clearance document.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a family of laser surgical instruments (Duetto Suprema, Domino Suprema, Suprema VT, Suprema VT+, Suprema 4V) for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology. The submission demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Evo Platform K192160 and Chrome K202503).

    Here's an analysis of the provided text in terms of acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

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

    The document does not present a formal table of quantitative acceptance criteria for device performance (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity for a diagnostic device) and then report performance against these criteria. Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the subject device's technical specifications and intended uses are comparable to those of already cleared predicate devices. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly that the new device's performance, as measured by its specifications and safety/efficacy profile, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

    The comparison table provided (Table 3 on pages 6-8) is the closest equivalent to reporting device performance relative to a benchmark.

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

    This submission is for a laser surgical instrument, and the provided text does not mention any clinical study involving patient data or a test set of clinical cases. The evaluation is based entirely on non-clinical testing (engineering verification and validation, performance testing against standards, and comparison of specifications to predicate devices). Therefore, there is no sample size for a test set or data provenance in the context of clinical performance.

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

    Not applicable. As noted above, there was no clinical test set or ground truth established by experts in a clinical context. The evaluation relies on engineering standards and comparison to a predicate.

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

    Not applicable, as there was no clinical test set requiring expert 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

    Not applicable. This device is a laser surgical instrument, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device that would typically involve human readers or MRMC studies.

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

    Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-only device. Its performance is related to its physical parameters (wavelength, fluence, spot size, etc.) and its electrical/mechanical safety and functionality.

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

    For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" is defined by the technical specifications outlined in the predicate device's clearance and by compliance with recognized international standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, IEC 60825-1, ISO 10993-1). The device's performance is measured against these engineering and safety standards, rather than clinical ground truth like pathology or expert consensus.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

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

    Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.

    Indicated for photocoagulation of dermatological benign vascular lesion (i.e. face telangiectasia), photothermolysis of blood vessels (treatment of facial and leg veins), and treatment of benign pigmented lesions.

    IPL 400-1200nm

    Indicated for inflammatory acne (mild to moderate acne vulgaris).

    Integrated Skin Cooler

    The intended use of the integrated cooling system in the laser hand piece is to provide cooling of the skin prior to laser treatment, for the reduction of pain during laser treatment, to allow for the use of higher fluencies for laser treatments such as hair removal and benign vascular lesson, and to reduce the potential side effects of laser treatments. Any other different use is considered incorrect.

    Device Description

    The Discovery Pico Family is a laser family that includes Q-Switched and/or Pulsed laser sources, emitting at one or more of the following wavelengths: 532 nm, 1064 nm, 694 nm (Ruby laser)

    The Discovery Pico Family systems, through the special universal Twain connector, can be equipped with intense pulsed light handpieces (Twain IPL) emitting at the following wavelengths: 650-1200nm, 625-1200nm, 590-1200nm, 570-1200nm, 550-1200nm, 400-1200nm.

    lt can also be connected to Er:YAG handpieces cleared under K173002.

    The Discovery Pico Family systems, when operating with Pulsed laser sources and IPL, can be used in combination with optional contact, or air, cooling systems.

    The optical delivery system is an articulated arm with fixed handpieces. The optical delivery system for the IPL system is a handpiece (Twain IPL) with fixed or interchangeable light filters at different wavelengths.

    All the models belonging to the Discovery Pico Family have the same components and the same controlling software. The only difference between different models is the optical bench that depends on the sources installed.

    The Discovery Pico Family is controlled via a touch screen display housed in the front of the device.

    Emission is triggered by means of a footswitch.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Discovery Pico Family laser device, submitted to the FDA. It details a modification to an already cleared device, primarily the addition of microbeam handpieces. As such, the acceptance criteria and performance data presented are focused on engineering and safety performance, rather than clinical efficacy or diagnostic accuracy as would be the case for an AI/ML-driven diagnostic device.

    Therefore, many of the requested fields related to clinical studies, human reader performance, ground truth establishment for clinical data, and training set information are not applicable to this type of device submission.

    Here's the information derived from the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    Acceptance Criteria (Measured against recognized consensus standards)Reported Device Performance
    Electrical safety (IEC 60601-2-22, IEC 60601-1)Device underwent and successfully passed electrical safety testing.
    Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) (IEC 60601-1-2)Device underwent and successfully passed EMC testing.
    Performance Testing (Output of newly added microbeam handpieces)Bench testing measurements were done to confirm the output of microbeam handpieces.
    Software Verification and Validation (FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices")Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA guidance.
    BiocompatibilityEstablished based on the predicate devices (K172376).
    Safety of Laser Products (IEC 60825-1)Device complies with IEC 60825-1 Edition 3.0: 2014, Safety Of Laser Products - Part 1: Equipment Classification, And Requirements.
    Overall Performance Claim:"Testing of the Discovery Pico Family demonstrated that the device performs as intended. The Discovery Pico Family is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."

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

    • Not applicable / Not specified. The performance data described are related to engineering and safety bench tests (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, output measurements on microbeam handpieces) and software validation. These do not typically involve patient-specific test sets in the same way clinical diagnostic studies do. The phrase "Bench testing measurements were done" implies testing on physical units/components, not patient data.

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

    • Not applicable. For engineering and safety tests, the "ground truth" is typically established by objective measurements against predefined specifications and recognized standards, not by expert human interpretation of clinical data.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for resolving disagreements among human readers in a clinical study. This device's testing involves objective measurements against engineering standards.

    5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, but a physical laser device for surgical and aesthetic applications. Therefore, an MRMC study and AI assistance effect size are not relevant.

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

    • No. This is a physical laser device, not an algorithm. The software verification and validation are for controlling the device, not for making independent diagnostic or therapeutic decisions.

    7. The type of ground truth used:

    • For electrical safety, EMC, and laser safety: Compliance with recognized consensus standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, IEC 60825-1).
    • For microbeam handpiece output: Physical bench measurements to confirm output against design specifications.
    • For software: Verification and validation against software requirements as per FDA guidance.
    • For biocompatibility: Reference to the predicate device.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. As this is not an AI/ML device, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.

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

    • Not applicable. No training set was used for an AI/ML algorithm.
