More Information

No
The summary mentions "onboard electronic controls and intelligence" but does not explicitly state or provide evidence of AI or ML being used for decision-making, image processing, or any other function typically associated with these technologies in medical devices. The focus is on phototherapeutic light treatment.

Yes
The device is described as administering "phototherapeutic light to the body in order to treat Acne" and generally indicated to "treat dermatological conditions," specifically "mild to moderate inflammatory acne," which implies a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as administering phototherapeutic light to treat acne and other dermatological conditions. It does not mention diagnosing any conditions, only treating them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "modular platform which uses light treatment heads combined with onboard electronic controls and intelligence," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to administer phototherapeutic light to the body to treat acne and other dermatological conditions. This is a direct treatment applied to the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device uses light treatment heads and electronic controls to deliver light therapy. This is an external therapeutic device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a therapeutic device that applies light directly to the body.

Device Description: 6.

The Tända Skincare System is a modular platform which uses light treatment heads combined with onboard electronic controls and intelligence designed to offer solid state light source treatments for mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

7. Comparison of Technological Differences:

The intended use and technological characteristics of the Tända Skincare System are virtually identical to the intended use and technological characteristics of the listed equivalent device. Any differences between the Tända Skincare System and the equivalent device have no significant influence on safety or effectiveness of the Tända product.

8. Additional Safety Data:

The Tända Skincare System has undergone certification to IEC 60601-1. In addition, testing and analysis have demonstrated compliance to: ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility) and IEC 60825-1 (Laser Safety). The later demonstrated an Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) below the AEL Class I threshold.

The ocular hazard level presented by unprotected exposure to the Tända Skincare light source was determine by applying the calculations specified in Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents & Biological Exposure Indices of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Worldwide and the standards of the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection. The results indicated that the Tända Skincare System - did not pose a risk of retinal injury due to either the blue-light phototoxic effect, or the thermal damage mechanism. In addition, there were no additive effects from light exposure.
