The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the device description focuses on hardware and basic software functionalities for treatment guidance and communication.
Yes
The device is described as "intended for use in localized phototherapeutic treatment of dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis and lenkoderma on all skintypes (I-VI)," which clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as an "Ultraviolet Light Emitting Medical Device" intended for "localized phototherapeutic treatment" of dermatologic conditions. It delivers UVB light for therapy, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states the system includes a "Handheld UV light Emission device that delivers the UVB light," which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided text, the Clarify Medical Phototherapy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "localized phototherapeutic treatment of dermatologic conditions." This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description focuses on delivering UVB light for treatment. It doesn't mention analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
- Lack of IVD Keywords: The text does not contain keywords typically associated with IVDs such as "in vitro," "diagnostic," "assay," "sample analysis," "laboratory," etc.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described are related to the device's light output, power, software functionality, and safety, not the accuracy of a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Clarify Medical Phototherapy System directly treats the patient's skin with light, which is a therapeutic action.

Dear Don Canal:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Actinclude requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

Standards and Guidance Documents
Optical emissions testing:
Clarify has verified that optical emissions within the 300-320nm range is equivalent to that of the predicate devices. With the LEDs switched on, the optical emissions spectrum is measured at the treatment surface. The biologically weighted emissions curve is then computed using the International Commission on Illumination accepted erythema curve. Clarify has completed verification testing to demonstrate that the weighted peak of emissions is within the established therapeutic range (300-320nm). The optical power at the treatment surface is also measured to ensure it meets the specified requirements. The device has been evaluated for safety and performance in accordance with IEC 60601-2-57 Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-57: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of non-laser light source equipment intended for therapeutic, diagnostic, monitoring and cosmetic/aesthetic use.
Electrical safety:
Clarify has completed testing to the applicable sections of IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance, and IEC 60601-1-4 Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-4: General requirements for safety - Collateral Standard: Programmable electrical medical systems.

Software and wireless safety:
Due to the software component and wireless functionality of the device. Clarify will review and comply with the following FDA guidance documents: Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (Issued 5/11/2005), Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Mobile Medical Applications (Issued 9/25/2013), and Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Radio Frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices (Issued 8/13/2013). The following standard has been considered when evaluating the software: IEC 62304: Medical device software - Software life cycle processes.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC):
Since the system includes electronics, EMC has been assessed according to IEC 60601-1-2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances.
Biocompatibility:
The distal end of the Clarify Phototherapy System will have limited contact duration (
