Skin cooling in conjunction with drinatological laser treatments to reduce pain and thermal damage to skin tissue.
Device Description
The C300 Chiller System is a thermoelectric cooler (TECs) which utilizes the Peltier effect. The chiller employs solid-state heat pumps that cool thermoelectrically and contain no moving parts. The C300 Chiller System is contained within a single housing. The chiller console is electrically connected to a standard 110 VAC wall outlet. The unit delivers low temperature air at an adjustable rate through a treatment tube. The user interacts with the C300 Chiller System by turning the power switch to the on position and selecting the desired temperature via the display on the digital controller

No
The device description and intended use focus on thermoelectric cooling and user-controlled temperature settings, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device's intended use is to reduce pain and thermal damage during dermatological laser treatments, which is a supportive rather than primary therapeutic function. Its purpose is to mitigate side effects of another treatment, not to directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is intended for skin cooling during dermatological laser treatments to reduce pain and thermal damage, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a thermoelectric cooler (TECs) contained within a single housing, connected to a wall outlet, and delivers low-temperature air through a treatment tube. This describes a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Reliant Technologies C300 Chiller System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Skin cooling in conjunction with dermatological laser treatments to reduce pain and thermal damage to skin tissue." This describes a device used directly on a patient's skin for a therapeutic purpose (reducing pain and damage), not for testing samples of human origin in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a thermoelectric cooler that delivers low-temperature air to the skin. This aligns with a physical therapy or treatment device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

Therefore, the Reliant Technologies C300 Chiller System is a therapeutic device used for cooling the skin during laser treatments, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Marinsik:

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).
