No
The summary describes a pulsed light system with a microcontroller, but there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.
Yes
The device is indicated for medical treatments such as hair reduction, and the treatment of benign pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and inflammatory acne, which are all therapeutic in nature.
No
Explanation:
The PhotoNova Family of Pulsed Light Systems is indicated for "treatment" of various conditions (hair removal, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, acne). It delivers pulsed light for these treatments. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose or detect any conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a cabinet housing hardware components (power supply, cooling system, microcontroller), an umbilical, and a handpiece housing a waveguide, indicating it is a hardware-based device that delivers pulsed light.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to treating conditions on the skin (hair removal, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, acne). IVDs are used to diagnose conditions by examining samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue).
- Device Description: The description details a system that delivers pulsed light to the body. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, the PhotoNova Family of Pulsed Light Systems is a therapeutic device, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Dear Ms. Hoy:
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.
