Intended Use

Main Hand Piece For use in dermatology: incision, excision, ablation, and vaporization with hemostasis of soft tissue, Treatment of back acne Treatment of atrophic acne scars Treatment of facial wrinkles Treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris Treatment of Sebaceous Hyperplasia Radio Frequency Hand piece The RF Hand piece energy is intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation.

Device Story

A-FIT is a dual-modality dermatological system combining a 1450 nm diode laser and a radio frequency (RF) stimulator. The laser component delivers energy to skin tissue to induce incision, destruction, and removal; a cryogen cooling system is integrated into the handpiece to mitigate thermal pain and skin irritation. The RF component delivers high-frequency energy through electrodes to generate heat via contact resistance, promoting coagulation or therapeutic heating. Operated by clinicians in a dermatological setting, the device features a touch-screen interface for parameter setting and a footswitch for activation. The system provides thermal energy for soft tissue management and topical heating for pain relief and circulation. Benefits include precise tissue ablation and non-invasive therapeutic heating.

Device Description A-FIT consists of Laser diode and high-frequency (RF) stimulator. It can be used for incision, destruction and removal of skin tissue by illuminating a 1450 nm wavelength laser on the skin tissue. In addition, the RF energy can be used to relieve pain. {6}------------------------------------------------ #### A-FIT #### 510(k) Summary Laser surgical unit, diode: Specifically, a 1450 nm wavelength laser is absorbed into the skin to be transformed into thermal energy, which then induces incision, destruction and removal of skin tissues. Laser is sent out through the power unit equipped inside the Main Body to oscillate the laser diode, and the user uses the touch LCD in the Main Body to set the output parameters while controlling laser radiation through the foot switch. At this point, a coolant is sprayed from the end of the hand piece to protect skin from the heat generated by the radiated laser, resulting in a reduction in skin irritation and pain. Electrosurgical system, general-purpose: The operating concept of the electrosurgical unit is to let the high frequency (RF) energy flow through the electrodes of the hand piece to use the load or heat generated by contact resistance, resulting in a coagulant activity on the cell tissues. #### 5. Indications / Intended Use Main Hand piece For use in dermatology: incision, excision, ablation, and vaporization with hemostasis of soft tissue, Treatment of back acne Treatment of atrophic acne scars Treatment of facial wrinkles Treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris Treatment of Sebaceous Hyperplasia #### Radio Frequency Hand piece The RF Hand piece energy is intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation. ## 6. Performance Data Non-clinical tests: Testing conducted on the A-FIT shows that it refers to the relevant mandatory performance standards for laser products 21 CFR 1040.11. Other performance, such as electromagnetic compliance, etc, were tested using following consensus standards: - Basic safety and essential performance of the A-FIT was tested and evaluated according to -IEC 60601-1:2005 (Third Edition) + CORR, 1:2006 + CORR, 2:2007 + A1:2012 (or IEC 60601-1:2012 reprint). - -Effect to the device by electromagnetic disturbances were tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 3: 2007-03. - -Safety of laser products is evaluated according to IEC 60825-1:2014 (Third Edition). - General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance Collateral Standard: -Usability was tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, IEC 60601-1-6 Edition 3.1 2013-10. - Particular Requirements for The Basic Safety and Essential Performance of High -Frequency Surgery Equipment And High Frequency Surgical Accessories was tested and evaluated according to IEC 60601-2-2:2009 (Fifth Edition) + C1:2014. {7}------------------------------------------------ #### A-FIT #### 510(k) Summary - Particular Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance of Surgical, Cosmetic, -Therapeutic And Diagnostic Laser Equipment was tested and evaluated according to IEC 60601-2-22:2007 (Third Edition) +A1:2012. - Risk management was recorded by referring to ISO 14971. - - -The software for A-FIT has been verified and validated based on its moderate level of concern. Software life cycle processes was evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, IEC 62304:2006. - -Application of usability engineering to medical devices was tested and evaluated according to IEC 62366:2007. - Biocompatibility of A-FIT was documented referred to ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993--5:2009, and 10993-10:2010. #### 7. Substantial Equivalence The intended use of the A-FIT is within the scope of the predicate devices. A-FIT, from both a design and clinical perspective, uses similar or identical technology as the cited predicate devices and has the same intended uses. Based upon the predicted overall performance characteristics for the A-FIT, Hironic Co., Ltd. believes that no significant differences exist in usage of its underlying technological principles between A-FIT and the cited predicate device. #### 8. Conclusions On the basis of the information provided in this Summary, A-FIT believes that A-FIT is substantially equivalent to legally commercialized predicate devices for the purposes of this 510 (k) submission.
