The description focuses on the physical components and control system (microprocessor) for setting parameters, with no mention of AI or ML for image analysis, treatment planning, or other functions.
Yes
Explanation: The device is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions such as vascular lesions, inflammatory acne, and benign pigmented epidermal and cutaneous lesions, which classifies it as a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device description and intended uses clearly describe the system as a treatment device for various aesthetic and medical conditions (hair removal, vascular lesions, acne, benign lesions), not for diagnosing them. It focuses on delivering light for therapeutic effects.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a light source, filters, cooling system, hand piece, and electronic controls, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device with integrated software for control.
Based on the provided information, the Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to aesthetic and therapeutic treatments applied directly to the patient's body (hair removal, vascular lesions, acne, benign pigmented lesions). IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The device description details a system that delivers pulsed light to the skin for treatment purposes. It describes components like light sources, filters, cooling systems, and controls for adjusting treatment parameters. This aligns with a therapeutic or aesthetic device, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any processes typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
Therefore, the Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System is a therapeutic/aesthetic device, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System is designed for selective photothermolysis in aesthetic treatments. The technology is based on a unique combination of patented fluorescent filter technology, selected spectrums of light source emission; pulse forming and sapphire based skin cooling system. It operates through creation of a directed incoherent light beam of spectrally balanced light. The light is spectrally filtered to remove the shorter wavelength portions (UV) most likely to cause harm to the skin. A sapphire crystal light guide is used to transport the resultant longer wavelength light to a laser-dye impregnated polymer filter sheet, which absorbs the part of the lamp light spectrum below it's emission and emits the selected wavelength band (417- 1200 nm) to 615 - 1200 nm, and non fluorescent 650 nm - 1200 nm and 850 - 1200 nm.
A liquid-to-air cooling system, including a fluid pump, fluid reservoir, deionization filter, interlocks and forced convection liquid-to-air heat exchanger and a water to water ThermoElectrical cooler is used to maintain the hand piece components at the proper temperature. The electronic components of the system include multiple safety features to protect both the user and patient, and the pulsed-light system itself.
A microprocessor based system controller is used to monitor and direct all system functions. Users of the Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System select parameters such as desired energy density (fluence) level and filter wavelength and monitor operation via electronic controls and a display panel. The control panel is also used to enable or disable the triggering of the Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System, and to obtain feedback from the system, such as the number of pulses delivered or spot size selected. The Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System supports 40mm x 20mm, 20mm x 20mm, 10mm x 20mm, 7mm x 15mm, 7mm x 7mm.

Description of Intended Use
The Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System is indicated for treatment in the following uses:
Hair removal in all skin types according to the Fitzpatrick scale. Permanent Hair Reduction Treatment of Vascular Lesions
Treatment of Inflammatory Acne (acne vulgaris)
Treatment of Benign Pigmented Epidermal and Cutaneous Lesions including warts, scars and striae.
Rationale for Substantial Equivalence
The Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System, has the same intended use and utilizes similar functional features (including power output, spot size, repetition rate, energy, and fluence) and matches key design aspects (including wavelength, light generation medium, power supply, cooling and controls system) as the currently legally marketed predicate devices.
The Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System shares similar methods of operation, and intended uses, and therefore is substantially equivalent to the currently legally marketed OmniLight Fluorescent Pulsed Light System K032191 held by Luxsano AB and the StarLux Pulsed Light System K041086 held by Palomar Medical Technologies predicate devices.
Safety and Effectiveness Information
The Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System is substantial equivalent to the currently legally marketed Luxsano AB OmniLight Fluorescent Pulsed Light System, K032191 and the Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. StarLux Pulsed Light System, K041086 predicate devices in intended use and technological features and therefore the risks and benefits are comparable to the predicate devices.
We therefore believe that there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness raised by the introduction of the Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System.
Conclusion
Base on the similarities in indications for use, design features, and functional features the Candela Fluorescent Pulsed Light System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the current legally marketed predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Roberts:
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.
