(2) Subsequent Product Code: QPZ
The "Apollo Quattro (subject device)" and "Dermal Cooling System (predicate device, K213294)" have the same indications for use as follows,
"Use in dermatologic procedures for the removal of benign lesions of the skin and for the temporary reduction of pain, swelling, inflammation, and hematoma from minor surgical procedures."
The subject device and predicate device (K213294) also have the same fundamental scientific technological elements.
- comprised of a cooling unit (chiller) with a cold plate/probe applicator used to cool the skin in the area intended for treatment
- same cooling mechanism - thermoelectric cooling
- controlled contact surface cooling at a targeted treatment site on the skin
- metal cooling interface within an applicator
- the lowest treatment temperature (-16 °C)
The key differences that exist between the "Apollo Quattro" and the "Dermal Cooling System" are:
- size and shape of cold plate/probe applicator
The differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness with respect to the proposed indication.
2) Substantial Equivalence Discussion
There are differences on a few things. However, these differences do not affect the significant equivalence of the device and its predicates.
The subject device and predicate devices utilize the same technology, for the same indication for use, and with almost identical design specifications.
All the performance specifications of the subject device are equal or similar to those of its predicate devices. The minor differences in technical specifications should not alter the device safety and effectiveness.
Furthermore, the subject device had underwent the required performance testing and validation testing and demonstrates its conformance with device design requirements and with applicable standards.
The safety features and compliance with safety standards of the subject device are similar to the safety features and compliance with safety standards of the predicate devices. For biocompatibility, all user-contacting materials (i.e., the Stainless Steel 304, and Polycarbonate) are the same as those previously cleared with K212253.
Furthermore, the design and development phases of the subject device were validated throughout a set of performance tests, including software validation testing, electrical and mechanical safety testing according to IEC 60601-1 standard, electromagnetic compatibility testing according to IEC 60601-1-2 standard, safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories testing according to IEC 60601-2-2 standard. These performance tests demonstrated that the device specifications meet the system requirements and do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.
3) Conclusion
"Apollo Duet (Model : APD-4000)" and "Dermal Cooling System" were chosen as predicate devices for the subject device in consideration of the intended use, indications, performance and principles of operation. Minor differences between the subject device and the predicate devices were found and listed within the above comparison table and discussion. Considerable amount of testing, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, performance, software verification and validation and usability testing were performed to support the claims of appropriately chosen predicate device. The test results show that the specifications and performance of Apollo Quattro are as safe and effective as legally marketed predicate devices.
Therefore, it is concluded that the Apollo Quattro is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
