No
The device description and performance summary focus on thermal energy delivery and bench testing, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.
Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment of individual acne pimples," which signifies a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Cosmetic System" used for "treatment of individual acne pimples" by delivering "thermal energy to the skin." Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "compact, handheld device" that delivers "thermal energy" and is "powered by a 9V battery," indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- ClearFlash AC2100 Function: The ClearFlash AC2100 is a handheld device that applies thermal energy directly to the skin to treat acne. It does not analyze any biological samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of acne, not for diagnosing or analyzing a condition based on a sample.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate it's a therapeutic device applied externally, not a diagnostic device that analyzes samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ClearFlash AC2100 Cosmetic System is indicated for the treatment of individual acne pimples in persons with mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

Device Description
The ClearFlash AC2100 is a compact, handheld device that delivers a controlled pulse of thermal energy to the skin for treating dermatological disorders, specifically, mild to moderate inflammatory acne. An acne lesion is treated by applying the tip of the ClearFlash AC2100 device to the skin area and pressing a pulse activation button that releases a controlled amount of thermal energy into the skin. After the pulse is delivered to the skin the ClearFlash AC2100 device is removed from the acne lesion and the treatment is complete. The treated area on the skin can then be cleaned with an over-thecounter astringent. The ClearFlash AC2100 device is powered by a 9V battery.
