Intended Use
The BClear™, Targeted PhotoClearing System, is a medical ultraviolet lamp and delivery device that is intended for the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and seborrheic dermatitis. The BClear, Targeted PhotoClearing System, is intended for use on all skin types (I — VI).
Device Description
The BClear, Targeted PhotoClearing System, is an ultraviolet light source and energy delivery system that provides targeted energy to the treatment site while avoiding exposure to nonaffected tissue. The light source is contained within a protective console. The complete system also includes a handpiece connected to the console via an umbilical. Timing and dosing parameters and an interface to other system features are controlled from a display panel on the console. The delivery system allows UV-B light to pass through the handpiece to selectively treat skin and nail lesions without exposure to the healthy skin.
More Information

No
The summary describes a UV light delivery system with manual controls for timing and dosing, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest automated decision-making or learning from data.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of various skin conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis, which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description indicates it is a "treatment" system that provides "targeted energy" and "UV-B light" to treat skin and nail lesions. There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose conditions or process diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "ultraviolet light source and energy delivery system" that includes a "protective console" and a "handpiece connected to the console via an umbilical." These are physical hardware components, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "medical ultraviolet lamp and delivery device that is intended for the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and seborrheic dermatitis." This describes a therapeutic device that applies energy to the body for treatment.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by detailing an "ultraviolet light source and energy delivery system" that provides "targeted energy to the treatment site."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is used to directly treat conditions on the skin.

Dear Mr. Payne:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
