LightStim for Acne Mini is an over-the-counter hand-held device intended for the use in the treatment of mild to moderate acne.
Device Description
LightStim for Acne Mini, model: LS4AM is a hand-held device consisting of low intensity light emitting diodes (LED's) that provide illumination which comes in contact with the skin. The device components include LED's of 415nm, a hand piece, a printed circuit board, an on/off switch, a resistor, a receiver jack in the hand piece to plug a power supply into and a separate AC to DC (9 volt) power supply. Treatment time is recommended to be three to four minutes and is controlled by the user.

No
The device description and summary of performance studies do not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities. The device is described as a simple LED light therapy device with user-controlled treatment time.

Yes
The device is intended for "treatment of mild to moderate acne," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The intended use statement explicitly states the device is "intended for the use in the treatment of mild to moderate acne," and there is no mention of it diagnosing acne or any other condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including LEDs, a hand piece, a printed circuit board, an on/off switch, a resistor, a receiver jack, and a power supply.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "treatment of mild to moderate acne" by applying light to the skin. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device uses LEDs to illuminate the skin. It does not involve analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) which is characteristic of IVDs.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to treat a condition directly on the body.
