Intended use

The BTL-785NEH is a radiofrequency, ultrasound, and electrostimulation platform consisting of a control unit with a color touchscreen and multiple applicators. It is intended to provide heating for pain relief, muscle spasm reduction, and increased local circulation; reduce cellulite appearance; perform dermatological and surgical electrocoagulation and hemostasis; reduce facial wrinkles; and affect the appearance of lax tissue in the submental and periorbital areas.

Technological characteristics

The BTL-785NEH operates at 3.2 MHz ± 5% (most applicators) or 1 MHz ± 5% (BTL-785-4 applicator), uses monopolar radiofrequency energy, and includes multiple applicators with integrated thermometers, ultrasonic preheating, massage attachments, microneedles (6×6 array), and hands-free electrodes. Output power ranges from 15 W to 140 W depending on applicator. Key differences from the predicate BTL-785S include removal of tips BTL-785-4-1, 4-2, 4-7, and 4-8, and adjusted maximum output power for BTL-785-4-3 (15 W vs. 20 W) and BTL-785-7 (57 W vs. 42.5 W).

Test standards cited

The device complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-2-5, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-7, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11, ISO 11135, ISO 11607-1, and ISO 11607-2.

Substantial equivalence argument

The BTL-785NEH has the same technological characteristics, mode of action, and comparable intended use as the predicate BTL-785S (K233604). Any differences—primarily the removal of certain applicator tips and adjustments to maximum output power—have no significant influence on safety or effectiveness, establishing substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
