The description focuses on mechanical action (negative pressure for skin flattening) and does not mention any computational or data-driven processes indicative of AI/ML.
No
The device is an accessory for hair removal and pain reduction during laser or IPL treatment, not a direct therapeutic intervention itself.
No
The device is described as an accessory for hair removal and pain reduction during laser or intense pulse light system treatment. It does not perform any assessment, diagnosis, or monitoring of a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a control unit, handpiece, flexible hose, and tubing, which are physical components, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- The Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ System is an accessory used directly on the skin surface during laser or intense pulse light treatments. Its function is to flatten the skin and potentially reduce pain during these procedures. It does not analyze any biological samples.
The description clearly states its purpose is to assist with hair removal treatments by preparing the skin surface for the laser or light beam. This is a physical interaction with the body's surface, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
The Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System is an accessory for a Laser or Intense Pulse Light System for their legally marketed indications. Its handpiece produces a negative pressure over the skin surface just prior to the administration of the treatment beam through it.
The chamber of the handpiece produces the negative pressure over the skin surface for a very short duration just prior to firing an intense treatment light pulse or laser beam. The negative pressure results in the flattening of the skin against a highly thermal conductive transparent sapphire window, thereby ensuring tight mechanical contact with the window.
The Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System consists of a control unit and a handpiece connected together by a 10' flexible hose containing flexible tubing. The flexible hose has a connector at the front of the control unit and is removable by pulling a connector while pressing a latch. The handpiece is ergonomically designed for easy use.

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.
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). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
