No
The summary describes a simple IPL device and usability studies related to labeling, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for "treatment of individual acne pimples," which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is indicated for the treatment of existing acne, not for diagnosing acne or any other condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable handheld intense pulse light (IPL) device powered by a rechargeable battery" and uses a "Xenon flash lamp," indicating it is a hardware device that emits light for treatment.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of acne pimples. IVDs are used to diagnose diseases or conditions by examining samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is an IPL device that delivers light pulses. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. IVDs inherently involve the analysis of such samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the user's ability to self-select and use the device correctly, not on the device's ability to detect or measure a biological marker.

In summary, the CLARO is a therapeutic device for treating acne, not a diagnostic device for identifying or measuring a condition through in vitro analysis.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The OTC indication for use was based on the Zeno, ThermaClear, Tanda and Clear-U predicate devices that are cleared for OTC treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

The first self-selection study included 61 subjects. 98.3% of participants were able to properly self-select themselves using the box labeling. Fifty nine of these subjects also participated in the usability study which evauated if subjects were able to correctly use the device by reading the instructions in the User's Guide. Results showed that overall, 86.4% of the study participants were able to properly use the device, and that 97.2% with the labeling submitted for clearance were able to correctly use the device.

The second self-selection and usability study was conducted with 165 subjects which tested changes to the labeling. The study demonstrated that 95% of the participants could correctly self-select themselves. Different iterations of the labeling were tested regarding correct device operation and 93% of subjects correctly used the CLARO, based on the final revision of the labeling.

A third usability study was conducted to test additional changes to the labeling. Nineteen subjects participated. 100% of participants correctly operated the CLARO with the final version of the User's Guide.

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

The CLARO is identical in electrical, mechanical and output characteristics to the already cleared CLARO for prescription use and complies with IEC 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Revisions made to the labeling for OTC use were tested in three usability studies and two self-selection studies. The performance data supplied in this 510(k) demonstrated that the vast majority of study participants were able to properly self-select themselves using the box labeling and that study participants were able to properly use the device by reading the instructions in the User's Guide without any assistance.

A third usability study was conducted to test additional changes to the labeling. Nineteen subjects participated. 100% of participants correctly operated the CLARO with the final version of the User's Guide.

The nonclinical tests demonstrate that the CLARO is as safe, as effective, and performs at least as safety and effectively as the legally marketed predicate devices.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

First self-selection study: 98.3% of participants were able to properly self-select themselves using the box labeling. 86.4% of the study participants were able to properly use the device overall, and 97.2% with the labeling submitted for clearance were able to correctly use the device.
Second self-selection and usability study: 95% of the participants could correctly self-select themselves. 93% of subjects correctly used the CLARO.
Third usability study: 100% of participants correctly operated the CLARO.

5. Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The CLARO which is the subject of this 510(k) is identical in all technological respects to the CLARO that was cleared for prescription home use in K080638. This application is for OTC clearance of the same device. The CLARO treats acne using both heat and light in exactly the same way as the CLARO cleared in K080638.

The OTC indication for use was based on the Zeno, ThermaClear, Tanda and Clear-U predicate devices that are cleared for OTC treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

In conclusion, the CLARO shares identical technological characteristics with the CLARO cleared in K080638 and indications for use with the Zeno, ThermaClear, Tanda and Clear-U and is therefore substantially equivalent to the other identified predicate devices.

6. Indications for Use

The CLARO is indicated for the treatment of individual acne pimples in persons with mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

7. Performance Data

The CLARO is identical in electrical, mechanical and output characteristics to the already cleared CLARO for prescription use and complies with IEC 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Dear Ms. O'Connell:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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 Federal agencies. You must
