Intended Use
The Candela-Inolase Serenity Pro PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System is indicated for the following uses: As an accessory for a compatible legally marketed Laser or Intense Pulse Light System for use in hair removal. Its handpiece produces a negative pressure over the skin surface, just prior to the administration treatment beam through it. Reduction of pain during Laser or Intense Pulse Light System treatment.
Device Description
The Serenity Pro PSF™ System is a device which has the ability to produce a vacuum at a level of 380-680 mbar. Suction can be delivered through its handpiece. which has a sapphire window at its distal end, to be positioned over the skin for laser or IPL treatment. When the PSF system is activated, the negative pressure results in the flattening of the skin of the treatment site. During the time duration of suction, the treatment beam of the laser or IPL is administered through the sapphire window of the handpiece, which is transparent and thermally conductive. The resultant tight mechanical contact produced by the PSF expels blood from the treatment site which enhances the light penetration of the laser or IPL in tissue as well as the removal of its heat from the skin. This can reduce the possibility of post treatment erythema.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical function of pneumatic skin flattening and its impact on pain and erythema, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for "reduction of pain during Laser or Intense Pulse Light System treatment," which directly addresses a physiological symptom.

No

Explanation: The device is an accessory to a laser or IPL system used for hair removal. Its function is to flatten the skin, expel blood, reduce pain, and lessen post-treatment erythema during laser or IPL treatment. It does not diagnose any condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "handpiece" with a "sapphire window" and the ability to produce a "vacuum," indicating physical hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Candela-Inolase Serenity Pro PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is as an accessory for laser or intense pulsed light systems for hair removal, specifically to reduce pain and potentially erythema during treatment. This is a therapeutic or procedural accessory used directly on the patient's skin.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that applies negative pressure to the skin to flatten it and facilitate laser/IPL treatment. This is a physical manipulation of tissue during a procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Serenity Pro PSF™ System does not perform any analysis of biological specimens.

The device's function is to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of a laser or IPL treatment performed in vivo (on the living body).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A clinical study was conducted with the primary objective to confirm that the Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System (PSF) reduces laser therapy associated pain. Evaluation consisted of pain experienced in treated sites with PSF compared with treated sites without PSF. The measurement of immediate post treatment subject pain was recorded utilizing a modified McGill Pain questionnaire. A secondary objective was to confirm that the use of PSF decreased the erythema associated with current laser therapy. Clinical investigators rated erythema immediately and 20 minutes post treatment for standard laser treatment vs. laser with PSF. The results indicated that the PSF system significantly reduces the pain associated with laser hair removal and that the side effect of erythema was lessened with PSF vs. without PSF standard laser treatment.

510(k) Summary

7. Performance Data: The basis for substantial equivalence for this device (K072925) relies upon the clinical data which was submitted in K071469. K071469 was determined to be substantially equivalent by FDA on 8/15/2007.

This data was obtained in a clinical study. The primary objective of the study was to confirm the assumption that the Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System (PSF) reduces laser therapy associated pain. This study involved normal laser treatment parameters which were typically expected to be painful. Evaluation consisted of pain experienced in treated sites with PSF compared with treated sites without PSF. The measurement of immediate post treatment subject pain was recorded utilizing a modified McGill Pain questionnaire, which is commonly used in pain evaluation.

A secondary objective of this clinical study was to confirm that the use of PSF decreased the erythema associated with current laser therapy. The clinical investigators rated erythema immediately and 20 minutes post treatment for standard laser treatment laser vs. laser with PSF.

The results of the clinical data indicated that the Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System (PSF) significantly reduces the pain associated with laser hair removal and that the side effect of erythema was lessened with PSF vs. without PSF standard laser treatment.

In terms of fundamental technology and intended use, the device (K071469), which was utilized in the clinical study, is essentially the same as the device (K072925), which is subject of this 510(k) submission. Therefore, this clinical study is relevant to this 510(k) submission and, Candela - Inolase has concluded that no new safety or efficacy issues have been raised.

Dear Mr. Hattub:

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
