Intended Use
The Profile BBL (and the light and/or laser delivery accessories) is indicated for use in surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis (photocoagulation or coagulation) and hemostasis of soft tissue in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery and dermatology. It is intended for use for: • The treatment of tattoos; • The treatment of benign pigmented lesions including dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides (freckles); • The treatment of cutaneous lesions including warts, scars and striae; • The treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, including port wine stains, hemangiomas, facial, truncal and leg telangiectasias, rosacea, erythema of rosacea, engiomas and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of Civatte, leg veins and venous malformations; • Treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis; and • The removal of unwanted hair from all skin types, and to effect stable long-term, or permanent, hair reduction. The integral thermo-electric cooler is indicated for use in cooling the epidermis at the treatment site prior to, during and after light or laser treatment in general surgery, plastic surgery and dermatology to: • Reduce pain during and/or associated with light or laser treatment (via partial anesthesia from cooling); • Reduce discomfort during and/or associated with light or laser treatment: • Minimize thermal injury, including thermal necrosis, to non-target skin and skin structures during and/or associated with light or laser treatment, thus reducing possible complications such as scabbing, scarring, hyper- and/or hypopigmentation; • Allow the use of higher light or laser fluences for light or laser treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions); and • Reduce potential side effects of light or laser treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions).
Device Description
Profile BBL System emits intense wide spectrum emission with wavelength of 500-1400 nm. It consists of a system console, internal computer, control panel and display, and a treatment head comprised of a light guide with cooling capability and a pushbutton switch.
More Information

No
The summary describes a light-based therapy device with cooling capabilities and mentions an internal computer for control, but there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions such as tattoos, benign pigmented lesions, cutaneous lesions, benign cutaneous vascular lesions, psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. These are all therapeutic applications.

No

The device is indicated for use in surgical, aesthetic, and cosmetic applications for treating various skin conditions and for hair removal. Its function is to emit intense wide-spectrum emission to ablate or modify tissue (photothermolysis), not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a system console, internal computer, control panel and display, and a treatment head with cooling capability and a pushbutton switch, indicating significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description of the Profile BBL system clearly indicates it is a device that emits light and/or laser energy for direct treatment of soft tissue and skin. It is used for surgical, aesthetic, and cosmetic applications.
  • Intended Use: The listed intended uses are all related to treating conditions directly on the patient's body (e.g., treating tattoos, lesions, vascular issues, hair removal). There is no mention of analyzing samples taken from the body.

The device is a therapeutic device that uses light and laser technology for direct treatment, not a diagnostic device that analyzes samples.

Description of
Profile BBL System:Profile BBL System emits intense wide spectrum
emission with wavelength of 500-1400 nm. It consists of a
system console, internal computer, control panel and
display, and a treatment head comprised of a light guide
with cooling capability and a pushbutton switch.
Intended Use:The Profile BBL (and the light and/or laser delivery
accessories) is indicated for use in surgical, aesthetic and
cosmetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis
(photocoagulation or coagulation) and hemostasis of soft
tissue in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery
and dermatology.
It is intended for use for:
• The treatment of tattoos;
• The treatment of benign pigmented lesions including
dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides
(freckles);
• The treatment of cutaneous lesions including warts, scars
and striae;
• The treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions,
including port wine stains, hemangiomas, facial, truncal and
leg telangiectasias, rosacea, erythema of rosacea, engiomas
and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of Civatte, leg veins and
venous malformations;
• Treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema),
seborrheic dermatitis; and
• The removal of unwanted hair from all skin types, and to
effect stable long-term, or permanent, hair reduction.
The integral thermo-electric cooler is indicated for use in
cooling the epidermis at the treatment site prior to, during and
after light or laser treatment in general surgery, plastic surgery
and dermatology to:
• Reduce pain during and/or associated with light or laser
treatment (via partial anesthesia from cooling);
• Reduce discomfort during and/or associated with light or
laser treatment:
• Minimize thermal injury, including thermal necrosis, to non-
target skin and skin structures during and/or associated with
light or laser treatment, thus reducing possible complications
such as scabbing, scarring, hyper- and/or hypopigmentation;
• Allow the use of higher light or laser fluences for light or
laser treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment
of vascular or pigmented lesions); and
• Reduce potential side effects of light or laser treatments
(such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or
pigmented lesions).
Rationale for Substantial
Equivalence:The Profile BBL Laser System shares the same
indications for use, similar design features (including
wavelength, laser medium, power supply, cooling and
control system), functional features (including power
output, repetition rate, energy, spot size and fluence), and
is therefore substantially equivalent to the above legally
marketed predicate devices.
Safety and Effectiveness
InformationThe indications for use are based upon the indications for
use for predicate systems. Technologically, the Profile BBL
system is substantially equivalent to the listed predicate
devices. Therefore, the risks and benefits for the Profile
BBL system are comparable to the predicate devices.
ConclusionThe Profile BBL shares similar indications for use, design
features, and similar functional features as, and therefore
is substantially equivalent to, the currently marketed
predicate devices.
