Intended Use
The ReClear™ Phototherapy System ("ReClear™") is intended to provide phototherapeutic light to the body. The ReClear™ is specifically indicated to emit visible blue/violet light for treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. It also emits infrared light energy for the temporary increase in local blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness and relaxation of muscles; for muscle spasms, minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Device Description
The ReClear emits in the range of visible blue/violet light (405-420nm) and infrared light (850 nm to 900 nm) with a fluency of light up to 200mW/cm². The system also includes an optical system for controlling spectra and beam parameters of the light source, a mechanical fixture for holding the light source at an adjustable distance and direction in relation to the skin treatment area, and a timer unit to control the duration of the emitted radiation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a phototherapy device with specific light wavelengths, an optical system, a mechanical fixture, and a timer. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for diagnosis, treatment planning, or device control.

Yes
The Intended Use states that the device is specifically indicated for the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris and for the temporary relief of various aches, pains, and stiffness, which are therapeutic applications.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a phototherapy system intended to treat medical conditions (moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris, muscle and joint aches/pains), not to diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as a light source, optical system, mechanical fixture, and timer unit, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • ReClear™ Function: The ReClear™ Phototherapy System applies light directly to the body for therapeutic purposes (treating acne, relieving pain). It does not analyze any specimens taken from the body.

The description clearly indicates a device for external application of light therapy, not for in vitro testing.

Corp. 's MedX 1000 series (K 020017), C&H international Inc.'s TDP lamp (K020851), and Curelight's iClear Phototherapy System (K030338).

Intended Use

The ReClear™ Phototherapy System ("ReClear™") is intended to provide phototherapeutic light to the body. The ReClear™ is specifically indicated to emit visible blue/violet light for treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. It also emits infrared light energy for the temporary increase in local blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness and relaxation of muscles; for muscle spasms, minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.

Technological Characteristics

The ReClear emits in the range of visible blue/violet light (405-420nm) and infrared light (850 nm to 900 nm) with a fluency of light up to 200mW/cm². The system also includes an optical system for controlling spectra and beam parameters of the light source, a mechanical fixture for holding the light source at an adjustable distance and direction in relation to the skin treatment area, and a timer unit to control the duration of the emitted radiation.

Substantial Equivalence

The CureLight ReClear™ is a modification to the iClear™ that has already been cleared by FDA to provide phototherapeutic light to the body. The ReClear™ blue/violet light mode has the same characteristics and technology as CureLight's iClear (K030338). In contrast to the iClear that is intended to treat inflammatory acne lesions, the ReClear™ emits also infrared light that is intended to temporary increase in local blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness and relaxation of muscles; for muscle spasms, minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. The ReClear™ infrared mode is substantially equivalent to Light Force Therapy, Acubeam (K001179), and MedX Health Corp. , MedX 1000 series , (K020017) and C&H International Inc.'s TDP lamp (C&H international Inc.) ( K020851) all of which FDA has already cleared for the same intended use and indications. Thus, ReClear™ is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
