More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a laser system and its clinical efficacy, with no mention of AI/ML components or data processing.

Yes.
The device is intended for the "treatment of Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris," which is explicitly stated in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device description indicates it is a laser system used for treatment, specifically for Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a laser console, fiber optic delivery device, handpiece, and footswitch, indicating it is a hardware-based system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states treatment of Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris in the specialties of Dermatology and Plastic Surgery. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system designed to deliver energy to tissue. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no indication that the device interacts with or analyzes biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is a defining characteristic of IVDs.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The NLite System's function is to treat a condition directly on the patient's body.

Dear Mr. Kiernan:

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.
