Indications for Use
The AYON™ Power Liposuction Sub-System is used for aesthetic body contouring.
Device Story
AYON™ Power Liposuction Sub-System is an electronic control system for aesthetic body contouring; adds power-assisted liposuction capability to the existing AYON Body Contouring System™. System inputs include user-defined speed settings via console touchscreen or handpiece buttons. Device transforms inputs into mechanical reciprocation of a cannula; reciprocates at 4000 ± 10% strokes/minute with 2.8 mm stroke distance. Used in operating environments by trained physicians. Output is mechanical movement of the cannula to facilitate fat aspiration. System integrates with infiltration and aspiration pumps; supports two handpieces simultaneously. Healthcare providers use the touchscreen GUI to monitor status and adjust parameters. Benefits include controlled, power-assisted tissue removal during lipoplasty.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by mechanical and physical bench testing, including reciprocation performance, pull force, fatigue testing, electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2, 60601-4-2), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), and sterilization/reprocessing validation (ISO 17665, ISO 11135).
Technological Characteristics
AC-powered console (120 VAC, 50-60 Hz). Features power-assisted handpieces with two-button control. Reciprocation mechanism: 4000 ± 10% strokes/min, 2.8 mm stroke distance. Connectivity: Touchscreen GUI, wireless footswitch. Materials: Patient-contacting materials evaluated per ISO 10993-1. Sterilization: Steam sterilization (autoclave) for reusable items. Software: ISO 62304 compliant.
Indications for Use
Indicated for aesthetic body contouring in patients undergoing lipoplasty procedures. Intended for use by trained physicians in an operating environment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A suction lipoplasty system is a device intended for aesthetic body contouring. The device consists of a powered suction pump (containing a microbial filter on the exhaust and a microbial in-line filter in the connecting tubing between the collection bottle and the safety trap), collection bottle, cannula, and connecting tube. The microbial filters, tubing, collection bottle, and cannula must be capable of being changed between patients. The powered suction pump has a motor with a minimum of 1/3 horsepower, a variable vacuum range from 0 to 29.9 inches of mercury, vacuum control valves to regulate the vacuum with accompanying vacuum gauges, a single or double rotary vane (with or without oil), a single or double diaphragm, a single or double piston, and a safety trap.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Consensus standards and labeling restrictions.

Dear Nikita Gajbhiye:
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"
