Intended Use
Indications for Use for Fitzpatrick skin types (I to VI) - The removal of unwanted hair and to effect stable long-term or permanent hair reduction. Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regimen. - The treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. - The treatment of benign pigmented epidermal lesions including dyschromia. hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides (freckles) - The treatment of cutaneous lesions including warts, scars, and striae. - The treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, including port wine stains. hemangiomas, facial, truncal and leg telangiectasias, erythema of rosacea, angiomas, and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins and venous malformations. The integrated thermal cooling is indicated for use in cooling the epidermis at the treatment site prior to, during, and after treatment in general aesthetic dermatologic and plastic surgery procedures. - Reduce pain during and/or with light treatment (via partial anesthesia from cooling) - Reduce discomfort during and/or associated with light treatment - Minimize thermal injury, including thermal necrosis, to non-target skin and skin structures during and/or associated with light treatment, thus reducing possible complications such as scabbing, scarring, hyper - and/or hypopigmentation - Allow the use of higher light fluences for light or laser treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions) - Reduce potential side effects of light or laser treatments (such as for hair removal and the treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions)
Device Description
The Accelawave is an Intense Pulsed Light-based medical device utilizing xenon flash lamp technology to illuminate the dermis to offer light based therapies as listed in the indications of use. The Accelawave emits light at 420nm to 1200nm via a 15mm x 45mm treatment area at a repetition rate equal to or less than 0.5Hz (operator selective). Light is delivered to the skin surface while a water-cooled heat transfer network cools the contacting surfaces and the epidermis.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on traditional light-based technology.

Yes.
The device is used for treating various medical conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, warts, scars, striae, and vascular lesions, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device description and intended use outline the Accelawave's function as a treatment device that delivers light-based therapies for various skin conditions and hair removal. It does not mention any diagnostic capabilities or the ability to identify or determine the nature of a disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Intense Pulsed Light-based medical device utilizing xenon flash lamp technology" and describes physical components like a treatment area and a water-cooled heat transfer network. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Accelawave is an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device that applies light energy directly to the skin for therapeutic purposes (hair removal, acne treatment, lesion treatment, etc.). This is a direct treatment applied to the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Intended Use: The stated indications for use are all related to treating conditions on the skin surface or within the skin, not diagnosing conditions based on analysis of bodily samples.

Therefore, the Accelawave falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

  • Side Effects: In extreme cases, effects from treatment can include excessively red patches in the shape of the applicator head and blistering. If this occurs the tissue should be cooled and cared for as would normally be the case with burns to the skin, i.e. do not burst any blister formation, keep clean and covered until healed.
    If blisters form, they are usually intra-epidermal in nature and heal without scarring. Inappropriate management of blisters during the healing stage will increase the chance of scarring.

Dear Mr. Conry:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 12, 2008.

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 (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 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
