Device Description

The Clareon™ and Solarus™ Pulsed Light Systems are light-based medical device(s) which incorporate the use of the following accessory handpieces that are designed for specific treatments / uses: HR Handpiece - Permanent Hair reduction on all skin types; SR Handpiece - Photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, photothermolysis of blood vessels(facial and leg veins), and treatment of benign pigmented lesions and removal of unwanted hair; VR Handpiece - Photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, photothermolysis of blood vessels(facial and leg veins), and treatment of benign pigmented lesions; AR Handpiece - Treatment of inflammatory Acne on skin types I-IV.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary does not contain sufficient information to generate the requested tables and details about acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance. The provided text is a regulatory submission for the Clareon™ and Solarus™ Pulsed Light Systems, and it primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing specific performance study results.

Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from the input:

  • No Acceptance Criteria or Reported Performance: The document explicitly states: "The differences in specifications of the Clareon™ and Solarus™ and the predicate device(s) do not result in different performances or raise new questions of safety or efficacy." This indicates that a direct performance study against specific acceptance criteria for the new devices (Clareon™ and Solarus™) was likely not conducted or reported in this summary. Instead, the argument for safety and effectiveness relies on the equivalence to previously cleared devices.
  • No Study Details: Consequently, there are no details about sample sizes, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, type of ground truth, or training set information because a specific performance study for these devices is not described.

Summary of what is available (and why it doesn't meet the request):

The document details the device trade names, common names, classification, legally marketed predicate devices, system description, and intended uses. The core of the submission is a "substantial equivalence" argument, meaning the devices are considered safe and effective because they are similar enough to devices already on the market that have been deemed safe and effective.

To answer your request, a document describing actual performance data, ideally from a clinical trial or bench testing, would be needed. This 510(k) summary states that no new performance data is needed because the new devices are considered equivalent to existing ones.

Dear Mr. Lehtonen:

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
