# IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Resonic™ Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) device is designed as an accessory to laser treatments to improve laser tattoo fading efficiency, as well as a standalone device to improve the appearance of cellulite. Resonic uses repeated, rapidly rising acoustic waves, releasing pigment particles from the pigment laden macrophage (PLM) and dissipating the laser-induced whitening. This allows multiple laser passes in a single session, resulting in accelerated tattoo fading and fewer office visits to achieve sufficient tattoo fading. When used for improving the appearance of cellulite, the acoustic waves induce physical effects in the fibrous structures, such as the fibrous septa in the subcutaneous tissue.
## V. INTENDED USE:
The Resonic™ Rapid Acoustic Pulse device is indicated for use as an accessory to the 1064 nm Q-Switched laser for black ink tattoo removal in Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-III patients. The Resonic device is also indicated for long-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite as supported by clinical data demonstrating treatment benefits up to one year of observation.
{4}------------------------------------------------
## VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE:
The Resonic™ Rapid Acoustic Pulse device is composed of three parts: the Console, the Hand Piece and the Cable connecting the Hand Piece to the Console supplies saline to the Hand Piece to enable formation of the shock wave within the acoustic pulse chamber. The Hand Piece generates acoustic waves in the saline. The acoustic waves pass through the acoustically transparent window and acoustic ultrasound gel or similar hydrogel pad, which is placed against the surface of the skin to be treated.
The subject RAP device is almost identical to the previously cleared Resonic device. The primary purpose of this submission is to change the pulse repetition rate for the Cellulite treatment mode from 50Hz as cleared in the predicate to 100Hz for the subject device. 100Hz repetition rate was previously cleared for the tattoo removal treatment mode. With respect to the technology, the software has been modified to allow the 100Hz pulse repetition for the cellulite treatment mode. These changes do not alter the fundamental scientific technology.
In comparison with the predicate device, the following changes have been made on the subject device:
Cellulite Treatment – Pulse Repetition Rate:
- Software only modification to change the pulse repetition rate of the acoustic waves for cellulite treatment mode from 50Hz to 100Hz . This change reduces the treatment time for patients while delivering an equivalent number of pulses and energy per treatment site. The predicate device had 50Hz capability for the Cellulite treatment mode. The 100Hz treatment already exists for tattoo treatment mode, as previously cleared in K212502.
## Labeling:
- The Device Labeling and the User Manual was updated to reflect the change in ownership to ● ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc (an AbbVie Company).
- . The User Manual was updated to address the 100Hz specification change for Cellulite treatment.
The technological characteristics of the subject device, as outlined in the comparison table below, remain the same as those of the predicate device.

# VII. PERFORMANCE DATA:
## Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety
The 100Hz change for the Cellulite mode made to the subject Resonic device does not affect the electrical components of the device. The electrical safety testing was repeated for the device as cellulite mode operates at a higher voltage than tattoo mode (2400V vs. 2700V) and consumes more power from the Pulse Power System (PPS). The system was also tested for excessive temperature generation (both at patient-level and component level) at higher frequency. The system was operated at 100Hz, 2700V for safety check. Testing was conducted by SGS testing laboratory, which demonstrated that the device complies with the requirements under IEC 60601-1, Medical electrical equipment, Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing for the predicate Resonic device was also conducted by SGS, which demonstrated that the device complies with the requirements under IEC 60601-1-2, Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements For Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests. The changes made to the subject device do not affect the EMC of the device and the test results on the predicate device remain applicable to the subject Resonic device
{7}------------------------------------------------
## Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software regression testing was conducted for the change from 50Hz to 100Hz pulse repetition rate for Cellulite treatment, and the testing results were found to meet the requirements and acceptable for software release. Software testing was conducted and documented as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."
## Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity risk management for the device was performed as part of the overall risk management process for the medical device and follows the guidance in the FDA document "Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices". The changes made to the predicate device software (K212502) have no impact on cybersecurity.
## Biocompatibility Evaluation
The biocompatibility of the Resonic RAP device is established based on the evaluation of the previous version of the device as there is no change to the patient contacting components.
## Performance Testing - Bench
The subject Resonic device is a modification of the cleared predicate device to allow 100Hz pulse repetition rate change for Cellulite treatment mode. There are no changes to the hardware, electrical components and mechanical design. All other performance bench testing performed on the predicate device is still applicable to the subject Resonic device and demonstrates that the Resonic device performs according to specifications and functions as intended. Individual testing protocols and results were provided in Appendix 6 of the predicate K212502.
## Clinical Testing
The Resonic RAP device has been previously cleared for 100Hz Tattoo treatments and 50Hz Cellulite treatments. A bridging study was performed to confirm that the subject device's 100Hz Cellulite treatment mode and the previously cleared 50Hz had comparable performance. The safety of the Resonic RAP device has been previously established based on the adverse events data from the pivotal study results submitted for the predicate device (K212502) and in prior submissions (K201801).
Fifteen female participants ages 18-55 with a mean age of 42.4 were treated with the Resonic Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) device Each participant's left buttock and/or thigh received rapid acoustic pulses at 50 Hz (24 RAP treatment doses) as established with the short-term (12-week) and long- term (>52-week) results used in the previous FDA clearance (K212502). The participant's right buttock and thigh received an equivalent number of rapid acoustic pulses at 100 Hz (12 RAP treatment doses), as subjected in this 510(k).
All adverse events observed in the subject device clinical trial were expected and were categorized as mild or moderate. No unexpected adverse events (UAEs) or serious adverse events (SAES) related to the device were reported.
The primary effectiveness endpoint for the 100Hz Cellulite treatment study was met as the blinded independent physician assessment (IPA) panel correctly identified post-treatment 50 Hz dose and 100 Hz dose photographs at a rate of 100% and 100%, respectively. The results of the Wilcoxon
{8}------------------------------------------------
matched pairs signed rank test indicated that there was no significant difference between two doses. Table 6-2 summarizes the correct identification results for 50 Hz and 100 Hz treatment doses.
| | Cellulite Dose Study 50 Hz<br>Correct ID (2 of 3) | Cellulite Dose Study 100 Hz<br>Correct ID (2 of 3) |
|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| Total Subjects | 15 | 15 |
| Correct ID of post-treatment photo | 15 | 15 |
| Incorrect ID of post-treatment photo | 0 | 0 |
| % correct ID of post-treatment photo | 100% | 100% |
| Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test | No significant difference | |
Table 6-2: Cellulite Dose Comparison: 50 Hz and 100 Hz - correct identification of before and after photos
The 12-week comparison study results demonstrated that the Cellulite 100 Hz treatment effect with Resonic RAP device in improving the appearance of cellulite is maintained as of the 12-week follow-up after the treatment. Clinical testing confirms that the treatment effect with device at the 100Hz level performs as intended and is equivalent to the treatment effect with the device at 50Hz.
The safety and efficacy of the Resonic device at the 50 Hz for long term improvement in the appearance of cellulite was demonstrated by the pivotal study results submitted for the predicate device (K212502). The pivotal study indicates the similar safety and efficacy outcomes at the time of 12-week follow up and 52-week follow up, accordingly 12-week comparison study is considered to be well representing 52-week outcomes for the Cellulite 100Hz.
## Conclusion:
The subject Resonic RAP device and the predicate device have the same intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation. The difference in the Cellulite treatment pulse repetition rate from 50 Hz to 100 Hz does not present different questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.
Nonclinical testing of the device demonstrated that the device performs safely and effectively as intended. Clinical testing confirms that the Cellulite treatment effect with device at the 100Hz is as intended and is similar to the treatment at 50 Hz. There is no impact to the risk profile of the device. The subject Resonic Rapid Acoustic Pulse Device is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story.
