Intended Use
The Chromolite™ System is intended for use in aesthetic and cosmetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis photocoagulation or coagulation) and hemostasis of soft tissue in the medical specialities of plastic surgery and dermatology as follows: - The treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris . - The treatment of benign pigmented epidermal lesions . including dyschromia, hyper-pigmentation, 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 leq telangiectasias, erythema of rosacea, angiomas, and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins and venous malformations. - The removal of unwanted hair and to effect stable long-. term or permanent hair reduction.
Device Description
The Chromolite™ is a Intense Pulsed Light-based medical device utilising xenon flashlamp technology to illuminate the dermis to offer light based therapies as listed in the indications of use. The Chromolite™ emits light at 390nm to 1200nm via a 50mm x 15mm waveguide at a repetition rate of 0.5Hz.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device and does not mention any AI or ML components in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended for various treatments of medical conditions and cosmetic applications, which qualifies it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as offering light-based therapies for various aesthetic and cosmetic applications, which are treatments rather than diagnostic processes. There is no mention of the device analyzing or identifying medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Intense Pulsed Light-based medical device utilising xenon flashlamp technology," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to treating conditions directly on the patient's body (aesthetic and cosmetic applications, treatment of skin lesions, hair removal). IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device description details an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system that emits light onto the skin. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Chromolite™ System is a therapeutic medical device used for direct treatment on the patient, not an IVD device used for analyzing samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Chromolite™ System is intended for use in aesthetic and cosmetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis photocoagulation or coagulation) and hemostasis of soft tissue in the medical specialities of plastic surgery and dermatology as follows:

  • The treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris .
  • The treatment of benign pigmented epidermal lesions . including dyschromia, hyper-pigmentation, 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 leq telangiectasias, erythema of rosacea, angiomas, and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins and venous malformations.
  • The removal of unwanted hair and to effect stable long-. term or permanent hair reduction.

1 = Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment reqimen.
