No
The device description mentions "onboard electronic controls and intelligence" but does not explicitly state or imply the use of AI or ML. The lack of mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML further supports this conclusion.
Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of mild to moderate acne, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a "phototherapy device for the treatment of mild to moderate acne" and is intended to "treat dermatological conditions," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.
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 for the treatment of mild to moderate acne using phototherapy. IVDs are used to diagnose diseases or conditions by examining samples from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Device Description: The device description focuses on light treatment heads and electronic controls for applying light therapy. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples.
- Detecting specific analytes (like proteins, DNA, or chemicals).
- Providing diagnostic information.
The device is clearly described as a phototherapy device for treating a dermatological condition, which falls under the category of therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

6. Device Description:
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 combined intended uses and technological characteristics of the listed equivalent devices. Any differences between the Tända Skincare System and the equivalent devices have no significant influence on safety or effectiveness of the Tända product.
8. Additional Safety Data
A clinical Study under the supervision of a Health Care practitioner (MD) was undertaken and shown to demonstrate that the Tända Skincare System can be used safely as a nonprescription device.
The Tända Skincare System has undergone certification to IEC 60601-1. In addition, testing and analysis have demonstrated compliance to ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility).
The ocular hazard level presented by unprotected exposure to the Tända Skincare light source was defermine 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 indicate that the Tända Skincare System - does not pose a risk of retinal injury due to either the blue-light phototoxic effect, or the thermal damage mechanism. In addition, there are no negative additive effects from light exposure.

Dear Mr. Cascuna:
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 dcvices 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 Scction 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a logally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
