Intended Use
The Quasar Calypso C50 is intended to emit energy in the red and blue region of the spectrum, specifically indicated to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris.
Device Description
The Silver Bay Quasar Calypso C50 is a visible light and/or heat source with high spectral purity. The device is made of ABS plastic with clear polycarbonate lenses covering the LED light sources. The device is two-sided with one side emitting narrow band blue light at 405 to 420 nm. The opposite side of the device emits red light at 628 nm +- 10 nm. The device is operated by a momentary switch, which allows the operator to select either the blue or red operation. The device does not allow the operator to select the red and blue light simultaneously. The Quasar Calypso C50 uses a 12 volt wall mount power supply.
More Information

No
The device description details a simple light therapy device with manual controls and no mention of AI/ML components or functions.

Yes
The device is specifically indicated to "treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device's Intended Use specifies that it is for treating mild to moderate acne vulgaris by emitting energy, not for diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical device made of ABS plastic with polycarbonate lenses and LED light sources, powered by a wall mount power supply. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Quasar Calypso C50 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris" by emitting light energy. This is a therapeutic treatment applied directly to the patient's skin.
  • Device Description: The device is a light source designed for external application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Quasar Calypso C50 does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

Therefore, the Quasar Calypso C50 is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
