Intended Use

The Dermatrix Duo is intended for use in dermatologic procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. The SFR applicator is indicated for: • Relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm • Temporary improvement of local blood circulation

Device Story

Dermatrix Duo is an electrosurgical system comprising a main unit, footswitch, and two handpieces: Microneedle RF (MFR) and Superficial RF (SFR). MFR uses sterilized microneedle cartridges (16 or 49 needles) to deliver bipolar RF energy into dermal tissue for coagulation. SFR uses a non-invasive matrix of 64 electrodes to deliver bipolar RF energy for thermal tissue reaction. Operated by clinicians in dermatologic settings, the system features an LCD touch screen for parameter adjustment. Software provides device and clinical information. The device generates electrothermal reactions to achieve coagulation, hemostasis, and therapeutic heating for pain relief. Benefits include controlled tissue coagulation and temporary muscle pain relief.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were conducted. Evidence consists of bench testing, including ex-vivo histology comparing thermal damage profiles against the Virtue RF predicate, and tissue heating testing on 3 subjects across 3 anatomical sites to verify therapeutic temperature maintenance for the SFR applicator.

Dear Gordon Wang:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

## Device Description:

The Dermatrix Duo system includes the system main body, a footswitch and two handpieces, the Microneedle RF (MFR) and the Superficial RF (SFR). The MFR handpiece is a microneedling handpiece that has 2 different configurations of cartridges: a 16 needle and a 49 needle. The SFR handpiece has 1 configuration consisting of 64 non-invasive tips. The control panel is equipped with an LCD touch screen so that users may easily adjust parameters for optimal settings. The software provides device and clinical information to the users.

The MFR handpiece creates heat within the target dermal tissue via micro needles inserted into the tissue. The microneedle cartridges are sterilized using ethylene oxide.

Using the SFR handpiece, the Dermatrix Duo system creates heat within the target dermal tissue via a matrix of electrodes on the SFR tip. There is only one type of handpiece tip (8x8 RF electrodes) that is non-sterile.

RF energy is delivered to the target tissue using the handpiece, the tip of the handpiece being placed in light contact with the epidermis, and the handpiece being held at right angles to the target tissue. As the

## Performance Testing – SFR Non-invasive applicator

The Dermatrix Duo SFR non-invasive applicator was subjected to tissue heating testing to verify its safety and effectiveness for the requested pain relief indication. The testing was performed on 3 subjects with 3 anatomical sites each. The test demonstrated that each handpiece can maintain a therapeutic temperature for at least 10 minutes of treatment.

## Conclusion

The Dermatrix Duo and the predicate device have same indication for use, technology, mechanism of actions, operational principles and performance for the proposed indications for use.

The non-clinical data for proposed device, including biocompatibility, bench testing, hardware, and software documentation shows that the device should perform as intended in the specified use. In addition, the Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety testing shows that the device is safe.

The comparison between the subject devices and the predicate devices shows that the indication for use and technological characteristic is substantially equivalent although there are some differences, the performance test reports are supported to the substantial equivalence of the subject device, the performance test reports are provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject devices. Therefore, we conclude that the different characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and thus the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
