Intended Use
The Symmed Elite Aesthetic is intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for treatment of selected medical conditions such as: relief of pain, muscle spasms, increase in local circulation. The massage device provided is intended to provide a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
Device Story
Radiofrequency (RF) generator; delivers monopolar RF current to patient tissues via resistive and capacitive electrodes; includes optional massage function. Used in clinical settings by professionals. Console generates 448 kHz RF current; energy delivered through handpieces connected by cables; reusable neutral return electrode required. Device elevates tissue temperature to treat pain, muscle spasms, and improve local circulation; massage function targets cellulite appearance. Healthcare provider monitors treatment via console display; output parameters (frequency, power, impedance) controlled to maintain therapeutic tissue heating. Benefits include non-invasive pain relief and temporary aesthetic improvement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical investigations were conducted. Evidence consists of bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), high-frequency surgical equipment safety (IEC 60601-2-2), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1). In-house validation demonstrated the device maintains a skin surface temperature of 40°C for 10 minutes using various electrode sizes.
Technological Characteristics
Radiofrequency generator; 448 kHz output; 200W max power; monopolar modality. Includes capacitive and resistive electrodes (30, 50, 70mm diameters) and reusable neutral return electrode. 10.2" color touchscreen display. Operates at 115/230V AC. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2, and ISO 10993-1 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring topical heating for relief of pain, muscle spasms, or increased local circulation, and for temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

ISO 10993-1: Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process
Software verification and validation testing was conducted to IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016, and documentation provided in accordance with FDA's Guidance or the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.
Performance testing was conducted to show that frequency, impedance, voltage output, and output power all performed within the accepted range.
The Symmed Elite Aesthetic device has been validated through an in-house study to demonstrate that the device can maintain a skin surface temperature of 40°C for 10 minutes of treatment. The 3 resistive electrodes (diameters 30, 50 and 70mm), and the 3 capacitive electrodes (diameters 30, 50 and 70mm), were utilized for the evaluation of the tissue heating in both treatment modalities (capacitive and resistive respectively).
### Clinical Evidence
No clinical investigations were conducted as part of this submission.
#### Conclusion
The indications for use, functionality, type and design of electrodes, skin temperature sensing of the Symmed Elite Aesthetic are similar to the same of the legally marketed predicate device. Performance testing conducted on the Symmed Elite Aesthetic demonstrated performance substantially equivalent to the predicate. Therefore, Symmed Elite Aesthetic device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device for requested interdictions for use.
