Intended Use

The New Star Lasers UV-300 Pulsed Light Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of facial, truncal or leg telangiectasia and/or reticular veins, rosasia, port wine stains, hemangiomas, psoriasis, vitiligo, vascular lesions, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis, hair removal, and tattoos. The UV-300 may be used to treat patients with skin types I-VI.

Device Description

The New Star UV-300 Pulsed Light Therapy System is a compact, self-contained system that delivers a beam of pulsed light at wavelengths of 300nm to 1400nm, which can be optimized at various wavelength ranges and delivered to the treatment site. The system consists of a control console unit, which houses the power supply, cooling system, cryogen source, and microcontroller, the handpiece, which contains the light source, and the footswitch.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document (K024259) is a 510(k) premarket notification for the New Star Lasers UV-300 Pulsed Light Therapy System. This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than conducting new clinical performance studies to prove specific acceptance criteria.

Therefore, the document explicitly states:

  • Nonclinical Performance Data: None.
  • Clinical Performance Data: None.

Given this, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, as such studies were not part of this 510(k) submission.

The "conclusion" in the 510(k) summary is that the device is "substantially equivalent to other existing pulsed light systems in commercial distribution for treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis, vascular lesions, rosacea, hemangiomas, leg veins, hair removal, and tattoos." This substantial equivalence is based on the device's design, intended use, and technological characteristics being similar to the identified predicate devices, not on new performance data against specific acceptance criteria.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

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.
