Intended Use
The Aurora SR is intended for use in dermatology for treatment of superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesion treatment. The Aurora SR is indicated for treatment of superficial, benign vascular, and pigmented lesions.
Device Description
The Aurora SR is a device that is used for treatment of superficial, benign vascular and pigmented lesions. The Aurora SR treatment is based on the principle of selective (electromagnetic) thermolysis. According to this principle, parameters of optical and RF energy (spectrum, exposure duration and energy density) are chosen and optimized to selectively damage pigmented and vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding tissues.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a device based on selective thermolysis using optical and RF energy, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is described as treating superficial, benign vascular, and pigmented lesions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device as it is used for treatment.

No
The device description states its purpose is for "treatment of superficial, benign vascular and pigmented lesions," not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses optical and RF energy, which are hardware-based treatment modalities, not software-only functions.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Aurora SR is a therapeutic device. Its intended use is for the treatment of superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesions, not for the diagnosis or analysis of samples from the body. It directly applies energy to the skin for therapeutic effect.

The description clearly states it's a "device that is used for treatment" and explains the mechanism of action as "selective (electromagnetic) thermolysis" to damage lesions. This is a therapeutic function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.

Name of the Device: Aurora SR

  • The Aurora SR is substantially equivalent to a combination of Predicate Devices: the following devices: the PhotoDerm VL, manufactured by ESC Medical Systems Ltd. and subject of K950493; the PhotoDerm PL, manufactured by ESC Medical Systems Ltd. and subject of K960772; the ThermaCool, manufactured by Thermage Inc. and subject of K000944; the Vnus Closure System, manufactured by Vnus Medical Technologies Inc. and subject of K982816.
  • Device Description: The Aurora SR is a device that is used for treatment of superficial, benign vascular and pigmented lesions. The Aurora SR treatment is based on the principle of selective (electromagnetic) thermolysis. According to this principle, parameters of optical and RF energy (spectrum, exposure duration and energy density) are chosen and optimized to selectively damage pigmented and vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding tissues.

The Aurora SR is intended for use in dermatology for treatment of superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesion treatment.

Based upon an analysis of the overall performance characteristic for the device. Syneron Medical Ltd. believes that no significant differences exit. Therefore the Aurora DS should raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Dr. Waldman:

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.
