Indications for Use

The Ulthera® System is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to: lift the eyebrow.

Device Story

Ulthera System is a focused ultrasound stimulator for aesthetic use. It consists of a control unit, handpiece, and transducers. The device delivers focused ultrasound energy to tissue to provide a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment. It is used by clinicians in a professional setting. The primary purpose of this specific submission is to extend the shelf life of the system transducers from six months to twelve months.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. An accelerated aging study was conducted per ASTM Standard F 1980 (2011) to validate the extension of the transducer shelf life from six months to one year. Results demonstrated that performance criteria remained comparable to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Focused ultrasound stimulator system. Components include control unit, handpiece, and transducers. Shelf life validated per ASTM F 1980 (2011).

Indications for Use

Indicated for non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to lift the eyebrow in patients seeking aesthetic improvement.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A Focused Ultrasound Stimulator System for Aesthetic Use is a device using focused ultrasound to produce localized, mechanical motion within tissues and cells for the purpose of producing either localized heating for tissue coagulation or for mechanical cellular membrane disruption intended for noninvasive aesthetic use.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Focused Ultrasound Stimulator System for Aesthetic Use.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Attachment 5 - 510(k) Summary Page | A5 - 1 {1}------------------------------------------------ 08/17/2012 Indications for Use: The Ulthera" System is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to: . lift the eyebrow Description of Change: The proposed change is to extend the current six-month shelf life period to a twelve-month shelf life period for the Ulthera® System Transducers. Performance Data: An accelerated aging study (per ASTM Standard F 1980 (2011)) was conducted to support the shelf life extension of the Ulthera® System Transducers from six months to one year. The results from the tests demonstrate that the technological characteristics and performance criteria of the subject device is comparable to the predicate device. Conclusion: Based on the design, materials, principle of operation, and intended use, the Ulthera® System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate i device. The Ulthera System Transducers met the predetermined acceptance criteria identified in the performance testing protocol. The results of the twelve-month shelf life study demonstrate that changing the current six-month shelf life period to a twelve-month shelf life period will have no detrimental effect on transducer Therefore, the predicate device is functionality, patient safety or efficacy. substantially equivalent to the subject device.
