The device description and performance studies focus solely on the use of LED light therapy for acne treatment. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.
Yes.
The device is intended to treat mild to moderate acne, and the performance studies demonstrate a significant decrease in lesion size and redness, indicating a therapeutic effect.
No
The device is intended to treat mild to moderate acne, not diagnose it. It uses LED light therapy to reduce redness and lesion size, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it uses "Blue and Red Light Emitting (LED) Diodes" to provide therapy, indicating it is a hardware device that emits light, not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Pulsaderm Acne Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "emit energy in the red and blue region of the spectrum, specifically indicated to treat mild to moderate acne on the face." This describes a therapeutic device that applies energy to the body for treatment, not a device used to examine specimens from the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanism of action (LED light therapy) and the application to the skin. It doesn't mention analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition
- Using reagents or assays
The Pulsaderm Acne Device falls under the category of a therapeutic device that uses light energy for treatment.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A lay-user study and self-selection study was conducted with Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and oversight to determine if lay users could read the product labeling and then selfassess if the Pulsaderm acne device would be beneficial for them to use. Study data was collected and demonstrated that the intended users of the device could successfully follow the instructions and use the device as intended. The performance data supplied in this 510(k) demonstrated that 100% of lay users were able to properly self-select themselves using the box labeling and 98% of lay users were able to properly use the device by reading instructions in the user manual without any assistance.
Summary of Performance Studies
A one-week clinical study with IRB approval was conducted with 26 male and female subjects, ranging in age from 13 to 36 years to assess the ability of the Pulsaderm acne device to decrease redness and diminish the size of a facial lesion following 24 hours and one week of use. All subjects underwent a one-week treatment. The subjects used the device for two minutes, three times a day.
Subjects were selected to participate in the evaluation of an acne blemish treatment, which consisted of VISIA digital photography, use of an electronic caliper to measure lesion size, expert clinical grading of facial lesion redness and consumer perception questionnaires.
In summary, the Pulsaderm acne device significantly decreased lesion size and redness when compared to baseline. Treated lesions significantly decreased in size after one week. Patients saw a significant reduction in redness after 24 hours, 48 hours and one week. Subjects had significant reduction in combined lesions (redness and size) after 48 hours and one week.

7. Performance Data:
Performance testing was conducted and confirm compliance to design specifications; similar wavelength, output power, energy type, treatment areas and energy delivery as FDA cleared predicate devices. Pulsaderm Acne Device has been tested and found in conformance with test standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 62471. Biocompatibility testing to ISO 10993. Pulsaderm Acne Device was designed and developed under a quality management system conforming to ISO 14971.
8. Non clinical-testing
A lay-user study and self-selection study was conducted with Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and oversight to determine if lay users could read the product labeling and then selfassess if the Pulsaderm acne device would be beneficial for them to use. Study data was collected and demonstrated that the intended users of the device could successfully follow the instructions and use the device as intended. The performance data supplied in this 510(k) demonstrated that 100% of lay users were able to properly self-select themselves using the box labeling and 98% of lay users were able to properly use the device by reading instructions in the user manual without any assistance.
In summary, the conclusion was that an average lay user can read and comprehend correctly the user manual and package labeling.
9. Summarv of Clinical Data
A one-week clinical study with IRB approval was conducted with 26 male and female subjects, ranging in age from 13 to 36 years to assess the ability of the Pulsaderm acne device to decrease redness and diminish the size of a facial lesion following 24 hours and one week of use. All subjects underwent a one-week treatment. The subjects used the device for two minutes, three times a day.
Subiects were selected to participate in the evaluation of an acne blemish treatment, which consisted of VISIA digital photography, use of an electronic caliper to measure lesion size, expert clinical grading of facial lesion redness and consumer perception questionnaires.
In summary, the Pulsaderm acne device significantly decreased lesion size and redness when compared to baseline. Treated lesions significantly decreased in size after one week. Patients saw a significant reduction in redness after 24 hours, 48 hours and one week. Subjects had significant reduction in combined lesions (redness and size) after 48 hours and one week.
10. Conclusion
Based upon the analysis of the performance characteristics, safety characteristics and intended use for the pulsaderm acne device. Nutra Luxe MD, believes that no significant differences exist between this device and the predicates. Therefore, Substantial equivalency is requested.
