Intended Use
The Aklarus Blue (420nm +/-10nm), is generally indicated to treat dermatological conditions and specifically indicated to treat moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. The Aklarus combination of Red (628nm +/-10nm) and Blue (420nm +/-10nm) is intended to emit energy in the red, blue regions of the spectrum to treat dermatological conditions, specifically indicated to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris. The Aklarus Anti-Aging Red (628nm +/-10nm) and Anti-Aging Infrared (880nm +/- 10nm) Combination is intended to emit energy in the red and infra-red region of the spectrum for use in dermatology for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. The Alarus Infrared (880nm +/-10nm) is intended to emit energy in the IR spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature; for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasm; relieving stiffness; promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue; and to temporarily increase local blood circulation where applied.
Device Description

More Information

Not Found

No
The provided text describes a light therapy device with specific wavelengths for treating dermatological conditions and pain relief. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The focus is on the emitted light spectrum and its therapeutic effects.

Yes
The device is intended to treat specific medical conditions such as acne vulgaris, periorbital wrinkles, muscle and joint pain, and arthritis, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section describes the device as being used to treat various dermatological conditions (e.g., acne, periorbital wrinkles, muscle pain) by emitting light. There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose or identify any conditions.

No

The intended use and predicate devices clearly indicate this is a light therapy device, which involves hardware emitting specific wavelengths of light for treatment. The lack of a device description doesn't negate the hardware nature implied by the intended use and predicates.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses described are all related to treating dermatological conditions (acne, wrinkles) and providing topical heating for pain relief and circulation. These are therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones.
  • Device Description: While the device description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a light therapy device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's intended uses fall outside of that definition.
