More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on controlled heat delivery and clinical efficacy, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms, data processing, or training/test sets.

Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment" of individual actic pimples in persons with mild to moderate inflammatory acne, which is a therapeutic purpose. It also describes a "treatment tip" and "clinical testing" for its effectiveness.

No

The device is indicated for treatment of acne, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable hand-held device" that produces heat and has a "treatment tip" and is "powered by rechargeable AAA nickel-metal hydride batteries," indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Zeno's Function: Zeno is a device that applies heat directly to the skin to treat acne. It does not analyze any biological samples taken from the body.

The description clearly states that Zeno is a "portable hand-held device that produces accurately controlled low level sustained heat for use in treating dermatological disorders, specifically, mild to moderate acne." This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Preclinical and clinical testing performance testing was conducted with Zeno. In vitro testing demonstrated significant sensitivity of p. acnes bacterial colls to the effects of sustained low-level heat. Biocompatibility testing of the tip material was conducted in accordance with the ISO 10993 Biological Testing of Medical and Dental Materials and Devices and the tip material is considered biocompatible. Zeno was tested for EMI in accordance with the IEC 60601-1 standard. Zeno operates within the EMI emission, susceptibility and static discharge levels specified in the IEC 60601-1 standard. Clinical testing was conducted in both a controlled practitioner office environment and a consumer home-use environment and submitted as part of the 510(k) application to confirm that Zeno is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The controlled clinical study design was a randomized, doubled-blinded study.

510(k) Premarket Notification Tyrell, Incorporated Zeno™ Acne Device

Indications for Use

Zeno is indicated for the treatment of individual acne pimples in persons with mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

Performance Data

Preclinical and clinical testing performance testing was conducted with Zeno.

Preclinical Testing

In vitro testing demonstrated significant sensitivity of p. acnes bacterial colls to the effects of sustained low-level heat.

Biocompatibility testing of the tip material was conducted in accordance with the ISO 10993 Biological Testing of Medical and Dental Materials and Devices and the tip material is considered biocompatible.

Zeno was tested for EMI in accordance with the IEC 60601-1 standard. Zeno operates within the EMI emission, susceptibility and static discharge levels specified in the IEC 60601-1 standard.

Clinical Testing

Clinical testing was conducted in both a controlled practitioner office environment and a consumer home-use environment and submitted as part of the 510(k) application to confirm that Zeno is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The controlled clinical study design was a randomized, doubled-blinded study.

Substantial Equivalence

The Zeno and its predicate devices are all devices that use either light or heat to treat the dermatological condition of mild to moderate acne by exposing the surface of the skin to the light at precise wavelengths and temperatures or heat at precise temperatures. Although there are differences in the technological characteristics of the Zeno and its predicate devices, those differences do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy. Another difference is Zeno will be available over the counter (OTC) versus the predicate device which is prescription use only however there are no new safety or efficacy concerns regarding this use as evidenced by the clinical testing that was conducted on Thus, Zeno is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for treatment of Zeno. mild to moderate acne.

Conclusion:

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing and comparison to predicate devices, the proposed device has been shown to be safe and effective for its intended use.
