No
The device description focuses on hardware components (bulbs, timers, sheet metal) and mechanical features. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis capabilities.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "used for the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis (eczema)." The term "treatment" directly implies a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a phototherapy lamp unit used for the treatment of various skin conditions, clearly indicating its therapeutic function. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components such as sheet metal construction, fluorescent bulbs, timers, switches, and protective accessories, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "wall-mounted or self-supporting ultraviolet phototherapy lamp unit used for the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis (eczema)." This describes a therapeutic device that applies energy to the body for treatment.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform any such tests.
- Device Description: The description details a lamp unit that emits ultraviolet light for treatment, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
- Lack of IVD-related information: The document does not mention any aspects related to sample collection, analysis, reagents, or diagnostic results, which are characteristic of IVD devices.
Therefore, the Solarc/SolRx E-Series Ultraviolet Phototherapy Lamp Family is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
A new family of medical devices that can be used singly, or ganged together in any number and combination of models. The devices use various numbers and lengths of tubular ultraviolet fluorescent bulbs. The model numbering system for single devices is as follows: Ehn0t-waveband-suffix , where:
E = A constant indicating the E-Series and standing for "Expandable".
h = The nominal height of the device in inches divided by ten; where h=2 for 24" (2-foot) high devices, h=4 for 48" (4-foot) high devices, h=7 for 72" (6-foot) high devices, and h=8 for 80" (2-metre) high devices.
n = The number of bulbs in the device; with the only exceptions being "9" for 10-bulb devices (such as E790), and "92" for 12-bulb devices (such as E792).
0 = A constant (zero); except for 12-bulb devices where this is a "2", such as the "E792". t = The device type, either "M" for a "Master" device, or "A" for an "Add-on" device.
waveband = either "UVBNB" for UVB-Narrowband, "UVB" for UVB-Broadband, "UVA" for UVA, and "UVA1" for UVA-1.
suffix = any or all of: "CR" for Clinic Rated devices, "AW" for devices equipped with a clear Acrylic Window in lieu of wire guards, "SD" for reflective Side Doors and "RB" for internal Reflector Bulbs.

Solarc Systems Inc. declares that, to the best of its knowledge, the proposed device family has the same intended use and similar technical characteristics as the following predicate devices:
Solarc/SolRx 1000 Series [510(k)# K935572]
Solarc/SolRx 500 Series [510(k)# K031800]
Solarc/SolRx 100 Series [510(k)#: K061589]

National Biological Corp. (NBC) "Panosol 3D" [510(k)#: uncertain]
National Biological Corp. "Panosol II… with optional wings" [510(k)#: uncertain]
lt can be demonstrated that the proposed device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed devices and does not raise different questions regarding safety and effectiveness than the predicate devices. This is based on the following areas of comparison between the proposed device and the referenced predicate devices:
Intended Use
As with all the predicate devices, the proposed device is intended for medical ultraviolet phototherapy delivered in the patient's home, at a physician's office or in a hospital's clinic; for the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema (atopic dermatitis).

Above the company name is a curved line. The words "SYSTEMS INC." are in a smaller font size and are located below the main company name.
Design Concept
ੰ
The proposed device is constructed primarily of sheet metal, and has provision for connecting additional lighting banks, as do two of the predicate devices.
Treatment Area & Anatomical Sites
The proposed device can be made in 2-foot, 4-foot and 2-metre lengths; for partial or full body treatment excluding the eyes, as are the predicate devices. The proposed device has provision for ultraviolet reflective side panel doors, as does at least one of the predicate devices. The treatment area of the proposed device can be reduced by using the "Face Shield" accessory, which is similar to the aperture plate system of the Solarc/SolRx 100 Series predicate device.
Type of Ultraviolet Bulbs
The proposed device uses low pressure mercury vapor fluorescent ultraviolet bulbs that are comparable to that of the predicate devices, as are the spectral distribution, irradiance levels, ballasts and related circuitry.
Quantity of Ultraviolet Bulbs
The proposed device uses 2 to 12 builss per device, or multiples thereof when devices are ganged together, within electrical current limits. The predicate devices use 1 to 48 bulbs.
Electrical Rating
The voltage and frequency ratings are comparable. High voltage breakdown, current leakage, and electro-magnetic compatibility specifications meet current industry and medical device standards.
Timer
The proposed device uses a digital countdown timer that is technically comparable to that of the predicate devices.
User's Manual
The User's Manual is written for the layman user and provides comprehensive exposure guidelines. It is at least as effective as the predicate devices.
Safety Features
The proposed device has a keyed switchlock or timer password entry to prevent unauthorized usage, wire guards or an acrylic window to reduce the chance of bulb breakage, and FDA compliant ultraviolet protective goggles; all comparable to one or more of the predicate devices.
Requiatory Requirements
The proposed device is designed and will be manufactured according to the FDA Good Manufacturing Practices and ISO13485. Solarc Systems Inc. is ISO-13485:2003 certified.
Conclusion
On the basis of the information provided, Solarc Systems Inc. believes that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to legally commercialized predicate devices.
