Intended Use
The Levia Phototherapy System is intended for use in UVB phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis including scalp psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis and leucoderma. The Levia Phototherapy System is intended for use on all skin types (I -VI).
Device Description
The Levia Phototherapy System is an ultraviolet Light Source and energy delivery system. The System emits UV-B (290-320 nm) light for use in phototherapy and allows delivery of controlled doses. The desired dose is selected using controls on the panel of the Light Source and activated with a switch on the panel or remotely by a foot switch. A Spot Handpiece and a Fiber-optic Brush allow for selective treatment of skin lesions without exposure to neighboring, healthy tissues. The Spot Handpiece and Fiber-optic Brush connect to Light Source with a flexible Light Guide. The system is powered by a common household AC outlet. Protective eyewear is supplied with the system.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the light source and energy delivery, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of various skin conditions, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The Levia Phototherapy System is described as a treatment device that emits UV-B light for phototherapy, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a Light Source, Spot Handpiece, Fiber-optic Brush, Light Guide, and power supply, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treatment of various skin conditions (psoriasis, vitiligo, etc.) using UVB phototherapy. IVD devices are used for the diagnosis of diseases or conditions by examining specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is described as an ultraviolet light source and energy delivery system. It applies light directly to the skin for therapeutic purposes. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

Therefore, the Levia Phototherapy System falls under the category of a therapeutic device, specifically a phototherapy system, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description:

The Levia Phototherapy System is an ultraviolet Light Source and energy delivery system. The System emits UV-B (290-320 nm) light for use in phototherapy and allows delivery of controlled doses. The desired dose is selected using controls on the panel of the Light Source and activated with a switch on the panel or remotely by a foot switch. A Spot Handpiece and a Fiber-optic Brush allow for selective treatment of skin lesions without exposure to neighboring, healthy tissues. The Spot Handpiece and Fiber-optic Brush connect to Light Source with a flexible Light Guide. The system is powered by a common household AC outlet. Protective eyewear is supplied with the system.

Indications for Use:

The Levia Phototherapy System is intended for use in UVB phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis including scalp psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis and leucoderma.

The Levia Phototherapy System is intended for use on all skin types (I -VI).

Substantial Equivalence:

The Levia Phototherapy System emits UVB light within the spectral band of 290 -320 nm similar to that of the predicate device Panosol II UVB-206 device (K904427). This light has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of scalp psoriasis.

The major difference between the Levia Phototherapy System and the cited predicate devices is the Fiber-optic Brush used to treat affected areas of the skin that is covered by hair. Lerner Medical Devices, Inc. believes that this difference is an added convenience and does not raise new questions about safety or effectiveness.

Performance Data:

Performance data were submitted as part of the 510(k) application to confirm that the spectral output of the Levia System is between 290 and 320 nm, which is similar to spectra emitted by predicate devices. Other performance data included in the application show that the technological specifications are similar to those of the claimed predicate devices.

Conclusion:

On the basis of the information provided in this summary, Lerner Medical Devices, Inc. believes the Levia Phototherapy System is substantially equivalent to legally commercialized predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Devinc:

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 Devicc 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); labcling (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.
